Don Martin

In the summer of 2001 I was invited to have a solo exhibition at the Icelandic Emigration Center in Hofsos, Iceland. This was my first solo exhibition and a long-held dream come true. The exhibit was on for three weeks and was very well received by the local population as well as summer tourists and was 70% sold out.

For the last ten years I have taught the beginners acrylic class at the Gimli Art Club and I am currently serving as Chairperson of the Gimli Public Art Gallery Committee.The mandate of this Committee is to operate the local Gallery and to promote the appreciation of visual arts in our community.

Earl McBeath

William Earl McBeath was born in 1948 in central Alberta, Canada.
From a very young age Earl possessed a real passion for drawing and painting. Never taking any formal training in art, Earls' talents are completely natural. Earls' passion for painting is brought to life through the research he does for each subject. This dedication to detail is shown in each piece.
If you ever have the privilege of meeting Earl in person you will walk away inspired, and when you look up at the sky it will bring a new perspective to life.
Earls' artwork includes Aviation, Wildlife, Seascapes and Trains.

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.

Yvette Moore

Most well known and recognized for her renowned reputation as a Prairie Canadian Artist, Yvette Moore's dedication, commitment and compassion are also extended to her city, province and country.
Located in Moose Jaw, Yvette showcases the work of her own as well as that of over 80 other Saskatchewan and Prairie Artisans at her very own, Yvette Moore Gallery. Since opening it's doors in March 1999, this former 1910 Land Titles building, has set a new precedence of an appreciation for art and a grand tourist attraction for the city. Hosting numerous events throughout the year, including Yvette's own annual art show, receptions, dinners and wine & cheese events for various tour buses, companies and groups, and the most popular Christmas in October, the Yvette Moore Gallery attracts visitors from all over the world.

Hubert Nanzer

Born in Switzerland in 1948, Hubert Nanzer has led an eclectic and dynamic life. After graduating from the academy of art in Lucerne, he headed off on a three year travel excursion. During this time he worked and lived and traveled through almost 70 countries, experiencing more in a few years, than most people in a lifetime.
Hubert has developed an intense interest in these great formations and for the power and beauty that can be found there. Each of his works reveals this power and presence through the canvas and the paint, striving to bring you closer to the experience.

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.

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.

Bruce H. Perry

"Canada's timeless beauty will always be my inspiration"

Bruce H. Perry - is a prolific Alberta artist who paints and draws Canada's infinite beauty.
Bruce is always developing as an artist, trying new techniques and mixes mediums to create perspective and texture.
For more than 25 years Bruce has produced art from the heart and has started replicating his favorite originals with the giclee' print method. Giclee' prints look very close to the original, are printed on watercolor paper and the edition number is low for appreciation.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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."

Ian Sheldon

Canadian artist Ian Sheldon was born in Edmonton in 1971, and was brought up in South Africa, Singapore and England.
While studying for his first degree (BA Hons) at Cambridge University, England, Ian began to paint the historical architecture of the city.
Since 1994 galleries have exhibited this work, and in 1998, Cambridge Contemporary Art, the city's leading commercial gallery, accepted his watercolors. The City of Oxford, sharing a similar architectural heritage, has become a recent focus.
Ian makes frequent trips to Britain to pursue his architectural passion.

Don Sibley

Don continues to create striking oil paintings on canvas using bold warm colours with an intense light source. Still Life compositions are a favourite subject matter especially in the winter months when working outside is not always possible. Working in the comfort of his studio, he is able to position the subject endlessly and move the lights around until everything is just the way he wants it to be before beginning. Some of the work he does is commissioned but many of the paintings on display here are started using sketches done on location in Europe and here in Canada.

Sharon Strand Sigfuson

Saskatchewan heritage and portrait artist, Sharon Strand Sigfuson spent many years painting wildlife and wildflowers. For the past ten years the artist has studied and developed her first love, the rendition of portraiture and human form. History was always a second love and the artist combined these two interests to create a series of nostalgic heritage works depicting rural life and farming with horses from the early 1900's to the mid 1950's. These compositions were developed from a combination of memories plus family and archival black and white photos. Color reference for these works came from many excursions with her camera into the surrounding countryside to capture the (light of the day), which varies from season to season, day to day and hour to hour.

The artist works primarily on stretched canvas with oil color. Sharon does commission work, and welcomes you to contact her.

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.

Lynn Soehner

Born and educated in Toronto, Ontario, Lynn Soehner is a professional artist whose acrylic on canvas paintings are recognized for being graphically bolder with rich, exotic colors, offering a kind of cadence or rhythm which evokes the "Spirit of Place".
What is consistent in her art, is a sense of ease, even playfulness in her colour choice and treatment of forms.
Soehner's work is frequently used on products and in magazines to convey the "feeling" of the land.

Melanie Springbett

Melanie Springbett is a versatile professional artist who resides in Barrie, Ontario. She depicts everything from animals to scenery, pets and people.

His knowledge of art and his willingness to share this knowledge with students has earned him a reputation as an outstanding artist and instructor. Classes include topics such as colour theory, composition, life drawing, and outdoor painting.

Richard Wear
