Ed Kemp

From his childhood, Ed fondly remembers visits to his grandparent's farm in Saskatchewan. Subsequently, many of these rural scenes show up in his work. Old and crumbling buildings, wind-weathered grain elevators, abandoned antique vehicles and trains set in prairie landscapes sing the nostalgia this artist has for those days. However Ed also explores his imagination, evident in the many mountainous, wildlife, seascape and underwater adventures he has taken with his paintbrush. It becomes apparent to the viewer that this artists love of animals and nature are the driving force behind his work.

Andrew Kiss

A lover of the outdoors, Canadian artist Andrew Kiss often captures his subjects on film and then uses those photographs as a springboard for his imagination, combining the elements of many photos as reference material to form his art composition. A recent expedition to Africa found the British Columbia artist packing more weight in camera equipment than everything else combined. His safari into Kenya and Tanzania was captured in over 7,000 photos and years of materials for his internationally recognized paintings. Canadian artist Andrew Kiss paints animals, birds, floral paintings, nature paintings.

Gayle Kohut

My husband and my family farm and ranch east of Didsbury, Alberta. It is this life and all its miracles of nature that give me my inspiration for my paintings. I like to portray the details of agriculture, rural people, livestock, and wildlife for other people to enjoy and appreciate.
Over the years I went to several workshops and have been fortunate enough to learn from Didsbury Artist Joyce Mullen the techniques in many different mediums such as from pencil, pastel, pen, and ink oils and watercolor. Bronze Sculpture and acrylic Artist Diane Anderson introduced me to gouache painting.
I have participated in numerous art shows and sales in Alberta and have won many Peoples Choice awards and Best of Show in my local town.

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.

He hopes to share with the viewer the splendour of the natural setting with detail and realism.

Audrey Nanimahoo

I knew I found my calling in life when the first time that I picked up a piece of stone and began to carve the surface of it. There was something far beyond what I could explain. Something told me that the �Creator� had given me my gift for it felt right and it felt powerful. I will cherish, and be eternally grateful for this gift that was given so freely. That feeling has never left me, when I begin to carve, it�s like the �Creator� is continuing to guide me. My openness � my focus � is almost like a trance I listen to what the stone is saying to me, not in words, but with images that shows me what to carve and where. In this manner, I create unique and original works of art. I get a feeling of overwhelming happiness and excitement when a piece is finished. Then, I can see that I am bringing each piece of stone to life� as though it will soon breathe on its own.

Roy Nauffts

Canadian artist Roy Nauffts has been painting and sketching since his early childhood. His main passion is wildlife painting and paintings of the natural environment. It wasn't until his move to Brampton that Canadian artist Roy Nauffts really began to get in touch with his artistic side. Spending many hours in his studio painting and even more time sketching birds and animals in their natural environment. His main artistic influences include Robert Bateman, Carl Brenders and Alan Hunt. He tends to focus on 'Bird of Prey' and North American 'Big Cats'.

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.

Karin Taylor

I am a wildlife artist with a passion for unusual canvases. These days I mainly paint onto wild turkey feathers. As you will be able to see from my feather gallery, the abundance of patterns and colors of the wild turkey feathers make a wonderfully different and challenging canvas!! All my feathers are hand painted in acrylics, each one is unique and, of course, an original!
