Spotlight on ~ Cindy Wright

Watercolour pigment on a limestone based TerraSkin paper combines to create delicate, soft and playful images. You know that song about the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees? Well this describes the focus of my work and creates that crucial connection to the world around me. Do come and experience this workContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Cindy Wright”

Spotlight on ~ Sharron Schoenfeld

One of the many subjects that inspire me is the beauty of Saskatchewan’s northern lake country. I rarely leave our cabin without my camera or at least my cell phone to capture what I see. My husband and I enjoy spending leisurely days canoeing along the shoreline of East Trout Lake as well as someContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Sharron Schoenfeld”

Mark your calendars!

Spotlight on ~ Valerie Munch

Painting in watercolour has inspired me to stop and enjoy all things bathed in light and casting interesting shadows. Red poppies in my garden, I have never had as many, and moments from a special trip to Nova Scotia, are among the subjects of my work for our group show at Grace Westminster Church auditorium,Continue reading “Spotlight on ~ Valerie Munch”

Spotlight on ~ Lorraine Khachatourians

What inspires me to paint is usually something nearby, whose shape or colour interests me.

Inspiration comes from close up or far away. In the last year my close up inspirations have been found in backyard gardens and beautiful planters in cities we have visited. The distant inspirations are the old elevators, barns and houses that we all see as we drive around our province. I’m not usually driving soContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Paige Mortensen”

Spotlight on ~ Molly Clark

One of my favourite things to do is set out on a road trip just as the sun is coming up and photograph the ever changing landscape as the sunlight spills over it. Then I can’t wait to honour that beauty in a painting back in the studio. My photos are snapshots used as aContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Molly Clark”

You will see hints in a boreal forest scene or the sky above a Nutana alley, or front and centre in one of her well-known poppy paintings. Marilyn takes regular sketching trips and painting trips to northern Saskatchewan and other wildernessContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Marilyn Weiss”
