Anima

I love painting people in general but I especially love painting women. I try to capture the soft glow of light from the skin and the way clothing flows around the lines and curves of the female form. My goal is to make the woman look like someone not from this world - a serene and mysterious person who lives apart from the mundane activities and anxieties we face today.

I try to create art that makes the viewer stare and stare - the same way that I stare at the painting while I'm working on it and when it's done. I strive to captivate the user with the beautiful subject, the striking contrasts and the vibrant use of colour.

Maxine Boss

Maxine Boss is a Calgary artist, born and raised in small communities throughout Alberta.
Watercolour was her original medium and she has since added collage and oil to her repertoire.
Maxine' s desire to capture in paint, those moments or scenes that evoke emotion, are what led her to begin her studies in 1994.
Her subject matter may vary greatly but a strong use of colour and texture predominant.

Brian Burness

Brian started oil painting on canvas in 1994 with a southwestern flare as a form of relaxation and hobby. Since that time he has focused on more variety and has branched into abstracts using oil and beeswax as a medium. He also continues with his southwestern style.
Brian Burness is a self-taught oil medium artist born and raised in Estevan, Sask. He moved to Alberta in 1972 to work in the oil and gas industry where he is still employed as a marketing consultant for oil service companies in Calgary, Alta.

Ben Crane

Ben is an accomplished artist, recognized both sides of the border, and one of only two Canadians drawing for the famous greeting card company Leanin' Tree. A founding member of the Cowboy Cartoonists Int'l, he has won many awards, and has been a standard at western art shows and cowboy poetry gatherings all across western North America, including Oklahoma City's National Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Calgary Stampede, C. M. Russell Museum and annually in Las Vegas during the NFR. His art has also graced many books and magazines, as well as private collections in many parts of the continent.

Heather Crocker

Image making…art, is only limited by the imagination. A gift unasked for, but for as long as I can remember art has always been a persistent force in my life. From the hallways of my earliest memories, (To the dismay of my mother, as it was her job to wash away the evidence of my budding creativity, thus forcing me to take measures and crayon to the interiors of the many closets in my childhood homes.) to what now in my middle ages is a quest to recapture the intensity of the innocent portrayal, the bridge between thought an substance.

Each piece stands on it's own merit, with no preliminary sketches or preconceived ideal of its outcome. As it springs forth it determines its medium. I struggle too, for honesty and try to avoid anything that could be considered contrived or manipulated.

Ed Eaton

Digital & Mixed Media Art
Born in York, England and now residing in Calgary.
Ed has backgrounds in such diverse fields as art & design, antique watch restoration and computer imaging. Mixing the hands on world of collage and assemblage with cutting edge computer graphics technology, he creates bright and intricate abstract images.
“I have several tools that I used in my restoration work that were as useful today as the day when they were made 60 or 70 years ago. A computer programme can become obsolete in a couple of years. I try and bring ideas from both these disciplines into my work.”
All of Ed’s work, digital and traditional, is available in print form.

Galts Goldsmith

"Whimsical Images for a Not-So-Whimsical World" It is my heartfelt desire to lift the spirit and bring joy to the hearts of people everywhere. God has gifted me with a desire to create and an ability to work with my hands. To deny this would be to deny my own existence."
Galts Goldsmith is Artist, Master Goldsmith, Hand Engraver, Stone Sculptor. He has six monumental stone sculptures in various areas around the city. Three of these sculptures now reside in Calgary's downtown core with the balance located in three of her suburbs - one in the sculpture Garden of Mount Royal College, another in Signal Hill Park and the final one in Varsity at the entrance to Bow Valley Christian Church. Each piece weighs from two tons to six tons and was finished entirely by hand.

Denyse Klette

Portrait and mural artist, Denyse Klette, has an amazing ability to capture life's many pleasures in her paintings. She transports us to time of wild abandon, quiet contemplation, belly laughs, and smiles. To witness her creations is to get lost in lighthearted brush strokes and a love of all that life has to offer. Her Portraits, whether of a whimsical toothless child or a CEO of a major corporation, capture the essence of that individual. She tries whenever possible to spend time with the subjects of her portraits and observe how they interact with family, friends, and the world around them. She then transforms the emotions and personality of the individuals into canvas keepsakes to be treasured for years to come. Her talent is not restricted to canvas portraits. You could walk into her murals and join the world that she has created. One of her most coveted murals entitled "So Much To Discover", painted in 1993, is still pleasing pedestrians, drivers, and travelers from all around. It stands proudly at the top of the Broadway bridge in Saskatoon.

Marc LaCaille

Canadian artist Marc LaCaille's artwork is often described as evocative, bright and colorful -a feast for the eyes and soul. It is the expression of a moment, an idea or an emotion through the constant exploration of lines, forms and colours. It is the constant pursuit of a delicate harmony between the subjective response and the internal structuring of an object, a person or a scene. The structure of the painting is as important as its content. Lacaille's signature style is personal and authentic. It is the result of research, experimentation and, like the artist says, the intense winter light of the North. Solid composition and a unique way of combining colours characterise Marc's images.

Jackie Miller

My motivation and inspiration come from the movement and colours of my environment. My paintings are a suggestion of what I encounter daily their interpretation is subject to what you feel.

I paint a number of subjects, from fruits to abstract, infusing vivid color into each image, bringing new life to old topics. The common thread is that each holds and shares a distinctive attitude and presence. From whimsical cityscapes with rhythmic patterns to lose simple images where the paint and it's texture define the painting.

Using distinctive, strong and vivid colors, the artist invites you into her images in hopes that it will evoke emotion and interaction.

Marijo Readey

The landscapes and images of the northern United States and Canada inspire my painting and my photography.

Because I was first trained in etching, drawing and in painting, the compositional influences and the methods of that training spill into my photography. Some of my work is strict, nature photography. At other times, I start with a photograph, and I then manipulate and abstract the image through a series of filters and mathematical transforms to express some emotional or spiritual state that I perceive as contained within that image.

Lisa Rotenberg

Lisa Rotenberg is a very busy artist, working out of her cubby hole studio in downtown Toronto.
Listed with the National Gallery of Canada, she produces work at an alarming rate for private and corporate clients - showing a flare for color and wit that has not landed her in trouble yet.
Whether the subject matter is a dancing hot dog or a Canadian landscape, craftsmanship and strategy are key elements of her work.
A painting must stand the test of time or it does not leave the office.

Barbara Simpson

Barbara Simpson, the exciting "Originals Only" Canadian artist, resides in Brockville near the picturesque St. Lawrence River while continuing to pursue her passion to paint.

My paintings define my individuality, along with my vibrant personality. I love a myriad of colour, which represents my "joie de vivre". My work is considered to be upbeat, warm and flattering to the eye. And while I currently work with acrylic paints, I have experimented with other mediums such as: pen and ink, charcoal, pastel, watercolor and oil. I enjoy painting abstract, portrait and various other subjects, although, most of my work features floral and landscapes, and several tropical settings.

Eldon Walls

"I guess I´ve always drawn and painted ever since I can remember. Even during classes in school, I was the least attentive student, daydreaming about horses and drawing them into cartoons on the edges of my textbooks. Often the strict comments from my teacher would bring me back to reality, reluctantly of course. However, soon I would be back creating a cartoon of a horse jumping over a fence, which became crudely animated as I flipped the edges of the pages." Alberta artist Eldon Walls creates caricatures, cartoons, murals and does airbrush work on RV's and motorcycles. Eldon is an accomplished artist painting in watercolor, acrylic, oils and pen and ink.
