“How long does it take you to do one like this?” The technical answer varies. Some works flow and others challenge you to spend more time. People are genuinely curious, and their inquiry sincere, so I hesitate to answer “all my life” for fear of it sounding like a canned, flippant answer. But there is authenticityContinue reading “The Inside Story ~ Molly Clark”

The Inside Story – Patricia Katz
I’ve always been drawn to color and design; and my artistic expression took many forms over the years. As a child I hammered together wooden fruit crates and painted ‘furniture’ for my room. Later I began sewing clothing for my self and others. That interest in textiles led me to spinning and dying yarn, andContinue reading “The Inside Story – Patricia Katz”

When I think of bridging and art, different things come to me. First, my dream is to bridge community to art. I do this by running an approachable gallery with a diverse art collection. Also, I have been playing host to many people to paint nights in the gallery. This awakens their inner artists andContinue reading “Bridging ~ Gail Prpick”

My paints, pens and sketchbooks travel with me everywhere I go. When I set up on the street, there’s always a connection with someone – aContinue reading “Bridging ~ Patricia Katz”
Bridging ~ Kathleen Slavin
Bridges are for exploring, crossing, burning and describe beauty, relationships, struggles. They can represent choices and directions both wise and unwise and necessary. I have experienced bridges, both physical and contemplative in my art practice. Over the years, I have selected bridges as a painting image and have sold paintings of the bridges that provide access to ourContinue reading “Bridging ~ Kathleen Slavin”
Bridging ~ Paige Mortensen
A few ways I see bridging in my art practice are: Time and Place – Recently I have been focussed on a series of work called Prairie Perspectives that bridges time and place. Across the Saskatchewan landscape homesteads are deserted, granaries sit empty and elevators are rapidly disappearing. This exhibition explores what we see today andContinue reading “Bridging ~ Paige Mortensen”
Bridging ~ Molly Clark
One afternoon a few years ago the phone rang and a voice at the other end said “You don’t know me but I just wanted to tell you how much I’m enjoying one of your paintings.”. The man told me his name and where he was from. We’d never met. He didn’t own any ofContinue reading “Bridging ~ Molly Clark”
Bridging ~ Lorraine McGrath
It took me a while to see where the idea of bridging fit with my art. And then it came to me as I was working on a new painting, of a subject completely new to me. This subject presented itself to me because of new directions my life has been taking over the pastContinue reading “Bridging ~ Lorraine McGrath”
