Jim Pescott |
There are no defining lines in his work. Jim applies acrylic paint to canvas using layered "spots and dots" brush strokes to blend shapes together while also ensuring their uniqueness is supported through strong bright colours. Subject material is sourced from nature and ranges from individual flower blossoms to broad landscapes of fields, prairie, trees, mountains, water and sky that can be found almost anywhere, yet are unique to where people live and call home. Jim has lived in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. He now lives in Calgary, Alberta. "I'm self taught, my style expresses much about how I feel about relationships in nature." |
Tom Phalen |
Tom has worked in oils, watercolour and acrylics, but now focuses solely on coloured pencil. "I find it the ideal medium for the way I work. I get the feel of drawing, but the end result can be made to look like an oil or a watercolour. I can sit down and begin immediately, or get up and walk away if I need to give some thought to a particular problem." Tom's art is mostly still life but he does some fantasy figurative work also. In either case he strives for a high degree of realism. |
Bill Philpott |
Quite suitably the skies of Saskatchewan are significant to Bill's work. Home is Central Butte Saskatchewan and largely his subjects exist nearby. Bill recieved wise council as a young artist when he recieved the following advice "To avoid pretenciousness, paint what you know." So Bill continues to paint his home on the prairies.
The area is prime with beauty and interesting characters. I try to capture for posterity the rich patterns in the landscape, the poetry in paint!uniquely the plains of Saskatchewan and of course now we dance in The Land of the Living Skies!

Dee Poisson |
Dee's abiding love for dogs stems from her childhood memories of growing up on a cattle ranch near Drumheller, Alberta. The dog was a part of the every day routine of cattle work but at the end of the day the dog was a part of the family. Dee remembers many childhood activities that included the ranch German Shepherd, Smokey. On many occasions, Dee would find herself on the front porch running her small hand over the face of her dog, an act that would prove to be invaluable when she became a dog portrait artist later in life. |
Norene Procter |
Diggety Doggety!! coats and hats come as sets. The outfits are made of 100% polyester fleece (non pill). I use wonderful fabrics of wildlife and countryside, plaids, florals, aztec designs, southwest prints, and much more. There are white labels inside the coat and hat that state 'made by a Canadian artist/designer' with care instructions. There is an outside label on the collar that reads, Diggety Doggety!! by artist Norene Procter. There are 5 sizes: XXSm, XSm, Sm, Med, and Large. Wholesale prices are available for orders of one dozen or more. Some hats have ribbon or if using a plaid fabric, I will add a kilt pin to the hat.

Gene Prokop |
Gene Prokop, Edmonton Alberta artist and art teacher. Gene Prokop's works of art focus on creating mood and drama using romantic brushstrokes of the Old Masters. Gene teachs others the skills and techniques he has acquired, towards classical realism and naturalism. Pro's Art School in Edmonton Alberta, is a school that teaches the techniques of drawing, perspective and composition in oil painting. Students are guided through the styles of Classical Realism, Naturalism, Gesture and Impressionism. Students work in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere. People work in the school as one big family, helping and encouraging one another. Many students work hard to better themselves, but still think of the group not just of themselves. |
Marilyn Prophet |
I capture the peaceful, captivating and powerful wonders of God, our great creator in each of my paintings. I believe it is not enough to look at a painting. You must see and feel it. I would like to evoke passion from the viewer and awaken his/her imagination, bring back forgotten memories and give a sense of inner peace. My techniques are to use the pallet knife on large trees to get the effect of rough bark and mix several colours to get depth and reveal crevices. I take great care to get the fine details look realistic in painting flora and fauna. Mist and fog are evident in many of my landscapes. I prefer the radiant colours of the fall season and winter scenes with lots of snow covered pine trees. I like to paint the open seas with the dark colours leaving a sense of apprehension with boats or ships heaving in the open water. |
Joyce A. Quillian |
I like to think that my work exhibits the interaction of colour, design and natural light, bringing freshness to each subject. Mood, which I illustrate through the design of light and its interplay with the subject of the scene, is a common thread in most of my work. I recently expanded my canvas to the larger dimension of 40 X 40 inches and in some subjects 40 X 60 inches and ventured into the medium of acrylics, thus expanding my communication with the viewer. I love doing commission assignments and taking on the challenge of transferring to canvass the patrons emotion and interpretation of mood in the subject. I have worked with patrons incorporating their artefacts into a still-life. I have also consulted with respect to the commissioning of painting(s) to best suit a particular home d'cor. I use my garden as inspiration for many floral interpretations. |
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. |
Dan Reid |
Dan Reid is a self-taught Canadian artist who has spent all his life on the prairies. Growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan instilled in him an appreciation for the ever-changing moods of the prairie landscape and its beautiful open skies. His interest in the vanishing prairie elevator, and antique cars is reflected in many of his paintings, which provide a nostalgic glimpse of Canada's past. Originals, limited edition reproductions, and note cards are available in several galleries and gift shops in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Dan will also be attending art shows and sales throughout the year. |

Jim Robb |
Over the years Jim has had 3 books published, and yes, 'they are read in all the better cabins'. They are comprised of short stories, photographs and drawings mostly about interesting and colourful Yukon personalities, the 'Colourful 5%'. In 1975, well known anthropologist Julie Cruickshank, with Jim's participation, put out a book on the Yukon's First Nation peoples.
Today Jim is busier than ever with a number of projects on the go. One is putting together a book on his artistic life. A compilation of stories, artwork and photographs. A second project is a collaberation with another artist to create a cartoon story. Also in the works is a film about a certain aspect and little known part of the Klondike Gold Rush. Amidst all this Jim continues working in pen, ink and watercolour, producing prints and tapestries of historic Canada. |

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. Visit www.lisarotenberg.com |
Lance Russwurm |
I was born in Kitchener, Ontario, in 1953 and I admit that, perhaps, the views of my generation were shaped more than a little by Hollywood. But that's all right. Romance (In the true sense of the word) seems to be healthier than ever these days, and this is precisely what I am most interested in trying to capture in my paintings. I use an almost photo-realistic style to lend reality and immediacy to events that happened long ago - or may never have happened at all. My attention to research and detail, I am told, borders on fanaticism, but my main objectives will always remain storytelling and mood. |
Ken Ryan |
My favourite subject matter to paint is the figure, set in the Ottawa Valley. I hope to express to the viewer a style that is unique to me, using warm colours, keeping composition simple while stirring a quiet emotion. My years farming made me a much richer and deeper soul, life and death happen everyday. I became a keener observer of weather and nature and mankind. I hope to bring my life experiences to my paintings. From Mr. Raman Frey - Frey Norris Gallery - San Francisco "Your paintings are incredibly powerful and haunting. Your choice of subject matter conveys a natural sense of composition and the dignity and grace of your sitter, as well as a feel for your own place and time." |
John Salsnek |
John loves to paint. Period. He simply loves to paint. He has many other interests but painting comes first. He prefers to capture what he knows and will do extensive research, both outdoors and in his library to create a mood, a moment. He began painting full time 15 years ago and credits his popularity to several factors. Primarily, he sets a goal for each piece, and until he's absolutely satisfied, it's just not finished. Despite that, John completes about 30 originals every year and issues several limited editions. "Equally important", says John, "are my collectors, painting as a career requires enormous sensitivity to their observations, if they no longer appreciate, or can't afford your work, the circle is broken. I admit, I paint primarily for myself but there is so much satisfaction and reward in completing a painting and knowing that someone will want to take it home." ..... and the circle continues. |
Thomas Schultz |
Tom Schultz was born in 1957 in northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. His passion for wildlife and the outdoors began when he was very small, inspired and fostered by childhood hunting and fishing trips with his father. Even since then, Tom has been able to combine his love of nature with his artistic interests, specifically in the fields of sculpture and bronze casting. In 1995, he began his career as a sculptor in earnest -- a natural offshoot of his expertise in taxidermy -- and by 1998 had a body of work sufficient for him to start marketing his bronzes. Tom has sold his sculptures to discriminating collectors throughout Canada and the United States. |
Stephen Seguin |
Stephen James S'guin, born 1986 in Etobicoke, Canada.
"I started off in 'story time,' some sort of preschool in which I could draw and paint all I wanted while people would read me stories. This was important for me as I developed an interest in drawing. Soon after, at the age of four, I attended my first year of kindergarten in which I continued in my interests, I would gain confidence as other classmates would praise my accomplishments; the first to successfully write my own name. By senior kindergarten, I was able to draw decipherable pictures. I intend to attend an arts college someday to gain some official credit of an artist's background and perhaps take up a career in my interest. But for now, I'll just concentrate on finishing high school." |
Tricia Sellmer |
In 1990 Canadian artist Tricia Sellmer enrolled at the University College of the Cariboo where, as a student, she faced fresh challenges, found an exciting new model of thought and learned to tap her pent-up creative energy. After spending the summer of 1992 painting in France she returned to U.C.C. to continue her studies in Fine Arts. In 1993 she received a diploma in Fine Arts and has continued to study and improve her style. Tricia strives to become more inspirational, experimental and disciplined and less realistic, pushing the perimeters of technique to achieve her bold, free images. She is attracted to quality of line, intensity of pure, strong colours and the texture of brush or knife strokes on a clean, white canvas. |
