After taking a year off painting with the Artists’ Workshop group, I am back at full force this year. I have also started an art gallery in my home town of Davidson. The gallery has renewed my art addiction and spurred me back to figurative painting. I am not sure why I quit as it is my firstContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Gail Prpick”

Spotlight on ~ Kathleen Slavin
I am a mark-maker. My first love as a painter is the countless possible processes of applying paint to a surface. I use a variety of techniques to hover between abstract and representational elements. Saskatchewan landscape offers a spectacular source of inspiration as does my garden. During the two decades that I have been showing workContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Kathleen Slavin”
Spotlight on ~ Margaret Bremner
A love of intricate detail, patterning, and the graphic quality of drawing have always been evident in my artwork. Several years ago I rediscovered pen-and-ink drawing, this time using structured patterns. I have an affinity for small objects, sparkle, and unusual effects. All this is present in my current mixed media work. My imagery springs from whatContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Margaret Bremner”
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.

Spotlight on ~ Lorraine Khachatourians
What inspires me to paint is usually something nearby, whose shape or colour interests me. Highlighting those bottles or shells or flowers with focussed light brings out the elements of those items that intrigue me. As a result, I collect things – old bottles, old silver, shells, glass floats, leaves, seeds, everyday things – andContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Lorraine Khachatourians”
Spotlight on ~ Monika Kinner-Whalen
I am a professional fibre artist specializing in freestyle embroidery. My creations are expressions of my love for the prairie and originate from my own photographs and personal experiences of Saskatchewan. I am constantly amazed at the texture and intricate beauty that can be achieved by working with thread and yarn. When I head outContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Monika Kinner-Whalen”
Spotlight on ~ Paige Mortensen
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”
