"Helping To Keep The Spirit Strong"

George E. Bates

Although he initially took on the challenge of painting in oils with a pallet knife, for many years George's favorite medium was pen, pencil or marking pen along with watercolour washes. He often yearned for all the training others had received by majoring in art at a University, but knowing that he would never have that opportunity he settled with buying and reading numerous books and taking the occasional evening class, all the while studying particular paintings he liked, plumbing for the secrets they held. Being able to discuss the principles of art with Lucy brought a much deeper understanding and flexibility, although this is still in progress.
Presently retired, George, after some evening classes in the medium of oils, took on the challenge of painting in acrylics. At present his favourite topic is the great outdoors, but he has the goal of returning to the human arena. He is most comfortable painting representational subjects with an impressionistic approach and loves experimenting with various colour schemes and colour theories.

Lucy J. Bates

Lucy works mainly in watercolor and enjoys exploring areas in her current locale as references for her landscapes, compositions of people and flowers. She is a relatively new artist and expects to continue her art education. She attended the Vancouver School of Art as a youth (it no longer exists but some will remember it), took her first watercolor classes with the Peel Board of Education (Mississauga, Ontario) in 1992 and discovered her love of the watercolor medium. She has recently taken four years of watercolor classes at the Swinton Art Studio in Calgary and has participated in art shows and sales as a juried member of The Federation of Canadian Artists, The Calgary Artists Society, Interpretations Artists Association and participated at the Leighton Art Center while living in Calgary. She has learned a lot from workshops by the some of the best artists in Canada: Brent Laycock, Jean Pederson and Jim Brager, and supplements her knowledge through good art books and browsing the net.

Marian Bax-Slayter

Marian Bax-Slayter studied Art History at the University of Toronto and received her diploma in Technical Illustration from Sheridan College, Oakville Ontario in 1978.
Marian has attended a variety of workshops and has recently started her own Artist Workshop Business, called Mountains West Art Adventures.
"I enjoy working in a variety of mediums, to explore the endless possibilities. Impressionists and colorists alike inspire me as well as artists who have mastered mixed media effects. I currently handle a variety of graphic assignments, both computer and hand rendered. I enjoy different aspects of nature, gardens, architectural renderings, mountains landscapes, as well as portraits of people and animals."

Dave Beckett

Canadian artist Dave Beckett creates his popular paintings in his studio/gallery, a restored 150 year old log home near Orillia, Ontario. This studio/gallery is also a teaching location for his pastel workshops. When not at home, Dave is gathering material canoeing on a quiet misty lake in Algonquin Park, roaming a secluded beach on the west coast of B.C. or Mexico and sketching the nostalgic rural buildings of early North America. He is in major exhibitions including The Pacific Rim Wildlife exhibition in 1996. The Buckhorn Wildlife Festival is a favourite annual event for Dave;s collectors and has been since 1986. Beckett's paintings are in many private and corporate collections.

Rick Berg

Canadian artist Rick Berg is a self taught artist working mainly in oils, originally from Red Deer, Alberta and now based in Crossfield. His work is clearly influenced by the special light, landscapes and wildlife found between the prairies and mountains. Long known as a skilled portrayer of wildlife, Rick's more recent work has shown an increasing sensitivity to light and color as subjects in themselves, often expressed in the urban environment of houses, gardens, city parks, and golf courses. His painting have served as covers for sport equipment catalogues, and magazines such as Alberta Hunting and Fishing, and Rural Montana.

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.

Karoll Dalyce Brinton

Alberta artist Karoll Dalyce Brinton has done portraits of people, including children (which are considered by many artists to be impossible to portray those soft, innocent, and lineless features). She has created hundreds of equine, feline, and canine portraits. Her instructor, Margaret Nadeau, wanted her to do anything besides horses. Margaret believed that it would be impossible to have a balanced knowledge of various things if she allowed this young lady to do horses. Thus, Karoll became quite adept at landscapes over the years. Of course it helps that she loves being out in the forests and beside mountain streams. Loading up her horses for a few days and heading to the high country for inspiration and relaxation.

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.
