Loretta Gardiner-Monckton |
"I'm a self-taught ceramic teacher from the 70's but moved on to art mediums that include acrylic, water colors, and now on to oils, which are now my favorite.
I had many great art teachers over the last 20 years, to name a few, Linda Lock, Jackie Newfeld, Leighann Maxmwell and Brent Heighton. I spent 8 years painting oil portraits with Joy Wilson and Joann Morgan, both of whom are oil painting portrait teachers from the United States. I spent 4 years teaching oil painting classes in my home art studio. My real passion is painting working horses in action." |

Denis Grosjean |
Denis' style concentrates on luminous effects, detail and depth. More often than not, admirers of his original works are drawn into the painting, "So much so, you feel like you are there." Consistently, pleasant memories and present aspects of admirers lives are also evoked by Denis' original works.
A self taught fine Artist, Denis went on to sell his earlier works to private collectors within and in the surrounding areas of Pinceville, Quebec, Canada. These earlier works were of bold strokes with heavy paint which he still paints but are not the focus of his creativity. In fact, landscapes including water, abstracts and western scenes (which have been complimentary mistaken for C. Russell) are Denis' most gratifying creations. Throughout the years, Denis' original works have been shown in Canadian Art galleries located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. |

Jack Grundle |
Canadian Artist Jack Grundle, "After art school, I spent time as an artist for the B.C. Electric Company, then some free-lance time as a commercial artist, then eventually wound up as art director and creative director at the Vancouver office of Canada's largest advertising agency. I finally tired of the commercial end, and started up a wildlife magazine. For some years, as well as being the publisher and editor, I made time to do cover paintings and story illustrations. I thoroughly enjoyed this period. Now the things I had been avidly learning in the past few years became a way of making a living, and I began painting and selling original wildlife studies. During this time I created about 30 paintings each year and sold virtually all of them. This was achieved through one-man shows, commissions, and even walk-ins. I also sold paintings to various corporations and the B.C. Government." |
Jim Gummerson |
Canadian artist Jim Gummerson went to Sheridan College of applied arts under the Illustration program. "It was then and there I gained not only my knowledge from the incredible instructors there and their program but also my confidence. Its a funny thing that I thought I was going to have a real rough time learning the basic fundamentals of art but to my surprise, learned I might have been better than I thought. After leaving college I set out in the Illustration business, and had a pretty good experience with it for many years. I worked with ad agencies, freelanced, and worked with several major companies to produce artwork for Advertising purposes. The problem was, something in my head kept wanting to paint for myself. Its a funny thing that you cant run away from who you are, or it just haunts you for the rest of your life". |
