Marie Neys |
In January, 2013 the Series: "LANDSCAPES OF SOUTHERN ALBERTA" consisting of 20 Oil Paintings on Canvas was completed. Inspired during time spent at the Neys family ranch located in the Porcupine Hills on the Snake Trail, North of Cowley, Alberta. Majestic, Rugged and Raw this area of Alberta includes the Livingston Mountain Range, expansive Vistas broken by the Cowboy Trail (Highway 22) and the Oldman River. Marie Neys was drawn to the early morning sunrises and late afternoon play of light across the hills. Marie Neys’ art has evolved and she believes that every medium she studied became a part of the catalyst for her creativity and lead her to her current discipline, Oil on Canvas. |

Catherine O'Byrne |
As a prairie artist, I'm a member of Regina's Rosemont Art Gallery, of the Aurora Art Guild, and of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association. I work for the provincial government, but in my spare time paint as much as I can, and teach the occasional watercolour course. Viewers have described my artwork as "whimsical fantasy", "oriental", or "mystical" , regardless of the subject - which tends to be things we don't normally think twice about: that little frog clinging to a stalk in the garden; a caterpillar crawling on a stem; a lizard stalking a fly; snails on a mushroom. My artwork tends to belong to one of three categories - those little "critters" mentioned above, garden-type landscapes with a slightly oriental leaning, and monochrome subjects in grays or browns, ranging from landscapes to - so far: bulrushes (cattails), dandelions, dragonflies, fawns and birds. My artwork has found homes, so far, from Ottawa to Victoria, as well as England and Wales, in the US from Florida to California, and in Australia and New Zealand. |
Louise Olinger |
Louise is a Past President of the Canmore Artists & Artisans Guild. She participates in CAAG Group Exhibitions and the Canmore General Hospital Art Gallery Exhibitions. Her paintings can be found in private and corporate collections across Canada, the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. With literally thousands of beautiful photographs to choose from (courtesy of her camera-competent husband), deciding what to paint can be a challenge at times. Watercolour is a very portable medium; suitable for breathtaking scenes of cascading falls, challenging mountain climbs, vibrant wildflowers and coniferous forests. The medium fits easily into a backpack, a boat or a helicopter and can be set up in a mountain environment in minutes. |
Nancy Osadchuk |
Nancy is an Alberta artist working in a variety of media, with a mainly representational style. She has a good knowledge of things botanical, and a love of nature in general. Paintings are often begun on site, capturing the moment with sketches, painting, or photography. Florals, still life and landscape are favorite subjects. Her printmaking efforts include etchings, monoprints and Moku Hanga, (the traditional Japanese method of woodcut, using water-based pigments.) |
John Pagé |
I tend to describe myself as a generalist in that I enjoy painting the major disciplines, portraits, still-lifes, nudes and landscapes.
Looking back on my body of work up to this moment , the majority of my work has been landscapes. Landscapes have a great appeal to me because of my love for the natural world. Nature in all it's wonders is an infinite source of inspiration.
When choosing subject's, panoramic views with the mountains in the background and a lake in the foreground has little appeal to me. Panoramics, from my perspective keep the viewer at a distance. My intent as a painter is to give the viewer a more intimate look at nature. Ideally I try to put the viewer into the scene and point out a slice of nature that they may not have noticed.

Wendy Palmer |
All my life I have been intrigued by nature and the vast variety of subject matter that is everywhere to be found. I have always been fascinated by how nature changes with every second of the day, and with wildlife, their unique and instinctive personalities have always mesmerized me. I can watch storm clouds on a summer night or the animals that reside near our acreage for hours. Even though I wasn't painting at the time, the visions were permanently instilled in me. I have now discovered that I can bring these images to life on the canvas. This was the spark that ignited my thrill of painting and how the magic of simple brush strokes created everything I had imagined. Every artist thrives on passions and obsessions. Bringing to life an expression in an animal or establishing the intimate mood of a landscape is my passion. When my painting starts to come to life and I can feel the texture and envision the illusion of light, the excitement to finish the painting erupts. My love for nature and art combined has helped me generate this unique realism into my paintings. |
Reg Parsons |
'Creating life in sculpture that expresses beauty, passion and strength makes me come alive. I choose my subjects and themes from picturing the finished piece, complete with detail, before my hands touch the clay. I'm challenged to expand my style of realism through varied techniques to capture the life of each piece as my eyes see it.' With unlimited talent as a self taught artist, he looks forward to his next work being his best. Be it a notebook, a canvas, or a lump of clay, he demands excellence in everything he puts his hand to, and gives credit to God as the source of his gifts. Check out Reg Parson's new WEBSITE! |
