Creative Synergy – Wendy McLeod

The creative synergy within Artists’ Workshop has improved my confidence as an artist, and brought me joy through this group of new friends. I hope you can find creative synergy in your life too!

Creative Synergy – Kathleen Slavin

I recently sat in on a webinar about some new research on the topic of art and neuroscience being mutually supporting and enhancing brain pathways through the act of creating art.

Festive Fun At Our Artists’ Workshop Holiday Potluck Lunch

One of the highlights of our Holiday gathering is that members create greeting cards for each other and we exchange them after lunch. This year held a special treat. Kathleen Slavin showed her surprising talent in the realm of poetry and created individual limericks about each one of us.

…it has always been the process not the result, and how I feel at the end of the day. I do love painting outside (En Plein Air)…

Viewpoints – Monika Kinner

Each piece I make is like a documented moment in time that for whatever reason, stopped me in my tracks.

Viewpoints – Val Miles

Why birds? This could be a question that I might be asked about my work because more often than not there is a bird in my painting.

However non-representational art affects you…your response is uniquely yours. There’s no right or wrong.

Viewpoints – Leslie Stadnichuk

Often my paintings come from a tiny blossom that is going unnoticed because it is tucked in and hidden deep inside the foliage of a plant. I love to draw it out and put it on centre stage.

Viewpoints – Pat Katz

I love plopping down on a park bench, on a streetcorner, in a café, and pulling out my sketchbook to capture the sights and scenes in a way that goes far beyond photography. When I look back at my sketches done on location, I remember the way things looked, sounded and smelled.

Viewpoints – Paige Mortensen

My viewpoint is like the lens of the camera. The drawing I start with looks quite defined and in focus however as I add layers the image becomes quite blurry. It isn’t until I add the darks that I start to feel like it is becoming clearer. Then, when I iron the wax off everything comes into focus!
