Bridging ~ Gail Prpick

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”

Bridging ~ Patricia Katz

Taking your paints and brushes to the street is a sure fire way to bridge your art with the community. I’m an enthusiastic plein air painter and urban sketcher. 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”

Bridging ~ Marilyn Weiss

Marilyn’s work bridges the landscapes of Saskatchewan, from flowers in her back yard, to the alleyways of the city, to the boreal forest. The link between them are the reds and magentas that underpin much of Marilyn’s paintings. Marilyn sketches and takes photos to use as the foundation for her striking paintings.

Bridging ~ Cindy Wright

My work has always centred around the natural world … art has always been an outlet to my awe of nature and the wonder of the natural living world around me. I have always sought to imbue that sense of wonderment and spirit into the scenes that evolve under my brush. To bridge if youContinue reading “Bridging ~ Cindy Wright”

Bridging ~ Sharron Schoenfeld

Bridging – Do you see what I see? Hmmmm, probably not! I see the world in a unique Sharron way. Some see a sky that isn’t blue, and a sun that doesn’t shine as a gray and gloomy scene. I see a mauve, blue-violet and silver sky, backlit trees and buildings edged in bright highlights.Continue reading “Bridging ~ Sharron Schoenfeld”

Bridging ~ Val Miles

One way that I have bridged my art is by studying and using some of the work of Gustav Klimt to inform my own. I had seen some of his original work and found his use of paint and shapes to be very interesting and realized that our work had a lot in common. WeContinue reading “Bridging ~ Val Miles”
