Sarah Carter |
Painting has taught me to slow down, take the blinders off and pay close attention to my surroundings. For this, I am grateful. I am now able to interpret my encounters with the natural world around me with a unique perspective and apply them to my paintings.
Often, people ask me to paint their houses, cottages and vacation pictures for them. I find this commissioned work very rewarding. My paintings are not meant to look exactly like the photograph, I like to embellish the colors and have some fun with it. I can, however, accommodate requests for specific color schemes and painting size. |
Bobbi Dunlop |
Decades of pursuing the language of brushstrokes has channeled Bobbi Dunlop's unique inner vision, experience and life wisdom into an avenue for expressing her truest reactions on canvas. Bobbi Dunlop considers herself a 'professional observer of life'; applying paint to canvas as the vehicle through which she most naturally communicates her observations and feelings. Bobbi Dunlop: "The masters have set the bar for all artists who follow in their wake and will continue to do so. This is the standard to which I will always measure myself and continue to aspire. A lifelong pursuit and one which will never cease to give me purpose and great satisfaction." |

Bernard Major |
'Bernie' made his transition to oil paints several years ago after being a watercolourist most of his adult life. Since then he has immersed himself in this wonderful medium, exploring its endless qualities. A style has emerged rich in colour and texture. This has been achieved while preserving the translucent effect he so loved with water colours. His subjects are wide and varied; from landscapes to still life, from portraits to boats and from animals to life models. He explains, 'Choosing a subject for a new painting is the first important step. I have to feel compelled to paint the subject matter, telling the story I can see is there. Once this is decided, I become absorbed in the process until I am ready to sign the painting'. Bernie is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists with numerous juried competitions to his credit. |
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. |
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. |
