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. |
Guy St. Godard |
In our fast paced society, Guy's works of flowers, tranquil sunsets, windy lakes and local landmarks encourage an appreciation of the beauty which surrounds us. Born in Winnipeg, Guy graduated from the University of Manitoba with a fine arts diploma (Dean's Honor list) in 1983. His work is represented in private collections such as MTS, Dorchester Developments and others across Canada, Germany and the United States. |
Trevor Tennant |
When you approach the art of Canadian artist Trevor Tennant, you are entering a world of beauty and light in his landscape and wildlife paintings. His attention to detail and ability to capture the "glow" of light is winning him national and international acclaim. His techniques are entirely self-taught believing that art is best learned through mistakes, and by the determination to make each new painting better than the one before. He paints primarily in acrylic, creating the impression of depth, distance and texture by using layer upon layer of thin acrylic paint. |
Doug Welykholowa |
Doug was born in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, in 1948. After graduating from the University of Saskatchewan, he joined the Canadian Army as an Artillery Officer. Throughout his Army career, he had the opportunity to travel extensively in Europe, the USA and across Canada. Doug is a self-taught artist who has been painting watercolors as an amateur since 1978, and professionally since 2002. He is also an accomplished computer graphic artist, with extensive experience in desktop publishing and fine art printing. Doug's prairie upbringing has been the major influence in his art, which concentrates on rural landscapes, old buildings and derelict machinery. He also paints dog portraits in watercolor. In his paintings he strives to capture a sense of his own feelings, experiences and appreciation for the beauty, color and texture of the landscape and the artifacts of prairie life. |
John Zacharias |
"If my work can evoke one emotion or a slight awakening in just one viewer, then I have been successful as an artist. I believe that art is a visual account of one's experience's. My goal is not only to paint a visually attractive picture, but also to allow the viewer to relate to the image before them. From the inception of a new work through to the end, I develop abstract elements (such as positive and negative shapes) to create a pleasing composition. Everyone has their own way of seeing the world; I am just painting my interpretation of it." |
