Artwork: “Chrysanthemum Luminescence”. Oil on canvas 12” by 24”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $620.

“Kerensa Haynes has been painting for over ten years. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from the University of Western Ontario, London. She paints full time at her studio in downtown Vancouver.

Kerensa is interested in the relationship between the abstract and the representational. Her process involves studies from real life, magazines, and the imagination, and then combining all these elements. From theseelements she explores the build up and subtraction of paint, in doing so she creates the feeling of the object. A mass of energy is emitted as the shape and structure of an object is completed.”

4. Graeme Allemeersch

Artwork: “Lilies”. Flat flower vase 14”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $175.

“My pottery is made from a red earthenware clay. The pots are fired to 1060°C, at which point the colours and glaze are melted and fused together. The colours cannot be worn off without removing the glaze as well. Hand washing is recommended as caustic automatic dishwasher soap can dull the surface over time.

To me, earthenware clay in the fired state still seems soft and friendly. This is a purely emotional response to the medium. Lower earthenware firing temperatures make available the large range of bright, immediate colours that I enjoy. The majolica glaze with overglaze decoration allows effective use of colour. It easily permits me to express my interest in pattern decoration. My work is usually vessel oriented with a specific function intended. Making pots is a personal journey, an exploration into the nature of form and decoration in pottery. I make strong, simple forms with a decoration that visually animates the surface. By doing so I try to unify the form and decoration in a way that imparts a feeling of joy and movement to the work.”

5. Richard McDiarmid

Artwork: "Island Goats”. Acrylic on canvas. Framed 28” by 23”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $1,500.

“Drawing and painting have been an integral part of this Canadian artist's work since 1970. Richard's work expresses a fascination with light and the abstraction of pattern, movement and the interactive nature of colour.

His paintings are rendered with direct and bold brushwork, imparting a unique energy to the finished work. The images invite the viewer in, to discover and explore, to complete the story or continue the inner journey or experience.

Richard's paintings have received numerous awards in Canadian and U.S. juried exhibitions and can be found in corporate and private collections in Canada, the USA, Britain, Europe and Japan.

Richard’s paintings have been reproduced in a number of publications including the International Artist's Magazine. In addition to painting, this artist is a workshop facilitator, much in demand, instructing in Canada, the USA and Europe.”

9. Elizabeth Barnes

Artwork: “Binary Moth”. Monoprint. Framed 16” by 20”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $400. Starting bid $175.

“Elizabeth Barnes resides in Vancouver. She holds a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.

Her paintings are informed by an interest in science and technology, as well as by her interest in the science of pigments and color theory. The paintings are made by layering thin glazes of translucent color. Some layers include technical drawings, while others include transformation of the pigments by applying drops of solvents, rubbing, scratching or brushing. The subtle shifts of color, combined with technical explorations, create a tenuous balance fluctuating between visceral and cerebral. The interaction of color and form appeals to a sensory moment which reminds the viewer of the interconnectedness of all living things.”

11. Cathi Jefferson

Artwork: “Paper Money”. Hand painted ceramic oval bowl. 8” by 9”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $250.

“I have always known that I was meant to work with clay. I started to pursue my dream to be a studio potter in 1974 taking clay courses with Herman Venema. Under his guidance and support I continued to work in his studio for 16 years. During this time I took fine art courses at local colleges. Trying to retain that initial thrown freshness and interacting with the kiln during the firing process has always drawn me to salt and wood firing. It never ceases to amaze me how each piece is directly affected by its location in the kiln, producing unique variations with rich colour tones and textual surfaces.

My overwhelming desire to make functional dishes is grounded in the belief that it is important to have handmade items in our lives to help us

remain connected to the natural world and each other. Most of my work is wheel-thrown and altered into square or triangular shapes. Pieces are decorated with impressions from nature or geometric shapes that attempt to enhance the form. My hope is that the design depicts where I am from and engages you to look around the piece through each framed window, noticing the different rich earthy tones and varying textures. I strive to make the form of each piece interesting and strong, capable of functioning so well that it will be enjoyed and used often because it elevates the ordinary into something special.”

Her works can now be found in corporate and private collections around the world.”

“The depth and richness of Renaissance and Baroque painting have drawn me to work in oil, a medium that helps me create the atmospheric effects of Canada's west coast, where I grew up. I try to distill both the inviting and haunting aspects of this landscape through a densely layered technique I've developed over several years, in which abstraction allows feeling to override the representation of outward form.”

16. Eve Leader

Artwork: Untitled. Matted and framed 18” by 22”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $800. Starting bid $350.

“Louis Kahn, the American architect, said: ‘good architecture makes the intangible tangible so as to evoke the intangible’. I long to do just that.

I paint about the human condition, about the mystery of life. About the tantalizing fact that we have only intimations, and will never know, the nature of reality. About the illusion that life is secure whereas in fact anything could happen at any time to totally change its course. About loss, fragility, old age, and mortality. And also about compassion and love offering redemption from our plight.

Figures in my work are often androgynous and not of a particular person. Rather they are about what confronts us because we are human.

I try to capture that moment of bewilderment when structure and order in our existence breaks down, everything looks unfamiliar, and we are sure of nothing. I use drafting film because I feel that it creates the ephemeral quality that I want in my work. The figures are without settings as I do not want to place them in any one human context. I use oil paint as I love the materiality of the medium. In these works, I am not interested in painting the body

in a realistic manner, but rather in finding a way to represent it so that it resonates more deeply with the viewer.”

22. Jennifer Ettinger

Artwork: “Shelby”. Acrylic on canvas.. Framed 6” by 6” .Donated by the Artist Valued at $150.

"I find inspiration in sports heroes, especially sports heroes from the past. I explore the mythology of heroes and however strong or imperfect they are, I still believe that we need heroes against whom we can measure our own level of commitment and ability in any activity we set out to do. In portraits, whether in humans or in pets, I like to portray characteristics that capture the moment that identifies that individual the most with their audience.

Sometimes it's the noble gesture, or quiet reflection, or the anticipation of achieving one's goal. Often times it's the delight that is expressed when the subject's dominant characteristic is joy.

“In addition to pet portraits, Ettinger works in sports themes. Baseball paintings by Ettinger are on permanent display outside and inside Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver”.

25. Cody Mathias

Artwork: “Raven” wood carving.Donated by Jerry Wolfman of Northwest Coast Native Art. Valued at $100.

“Saying that Cody Mathias comes from a large family is an understatement. The Northwest Coast Native art master carver has 17 siblings (he was born in 1962 as the 5th boy). As a young child, Cody would watch his father and grandfather for hours as they worked on 20 foot totem poles. Eventually, his father, grandfather and an older brother taught Cody to carve.

Cody claims that when he looks at a piece of wood, it talks to him. ‘I put some thought into a piece to bring out the character of it’ he says. ‘Sometimes it's an eagle, sometimes it's a killer whale and sometimes it's something else.’

Today, Cody is one of the few contemporary Northwest Coast Native artisans who prefer to carve in the traditional style where the surface carves are left intact rather than smoothly sanded down. The bumpy appearance gives his carvings a very unique look, much like the older totem poles found in the west coast of Canada.

In addition to doing his own artwork, Cody also teaches carving to the younger generation from his Squamish Nation community in North Vancouver. Cody's own artwork has changed over the years as he says, “My artwork has more shape and cleaner cuts these days’.”

26. Graham Harrop

Two artworks donated by the Artist.

Meanwhile, he developed his client base to the point where he could realize his dream of full-time cartooning—which is what he has been doing since 1990. Being goofy, satirical, whimsical, probing human nature in his cartoons—this is what Graham loves to do.”

28. Robert Kwon

Artwork: “Red Sky Silhouette”. Oil on canvas 24” by 30”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $1,100. Starting Bid $550.

“Whether the subject is a tree or someone’s face or hands, my art is typically about capturing something beautiful in the way of its colours, at least that’s what I strive for. Colour is what brings a work to life more than any other single variable in terms of how powerful a painting can ultimately be. Colour can make an average composition look good, a good composition look excellent, and an excellent composition look completely breathtaking. One has to apply the right colour, in the right amount, in the right place, and in the right way.”

“Rob is mostly a self taught artist and took up the brush in the fall of 2000. Prior to that he drew and did architectural renderings in his spare time. His works can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, throughout the USA, England, Spain, and Greece. He is currently represented by Plaza Galleries in Whistler, BC, Autumn Brook Gallery (his own gallery) in Vancouver, and he will be extending his representation to galleries in the US.”

36. Ann R. Uusoja

Artwork: Satin Devora silk scarf (acid paste etches away the top surface followed by hand painting). Donated by the Artist. Valued at $70.

“Ann Uusoja was born in 1954 in St. Catherine’s Ontario., the only child of Estonian parents. Drawn by the beauty and strength of the West Coast landscape, she moved to Vancouver in 1976. Ann traveled extensively around the world. She took a teaching certificate and courses in the masters program in Art Education at UBC and spent several years employed as a child life specialist at BC Children’s Hospital. She focused on the therapeutic effects of art on hospitalized children. Ann’s decision to develop her own art came in 1988.

Silk captures Ann’s fascination because of its intense response to colour. It is a powerful medium which provides a conscious way of adornment and which appeals to a wide audience. Her paintings can be hung on the wall or worn as art.

Symbols play an important role in her imagery. Not only do they stimulate the imagination, but they transcend time, language, and culture. Communication is made possible by the universality of symbols. By incorporating ancient symbols in a modern way through the use vivid colours, bold juxtapositions, and strong linear composition, primitive memories are stirred. By touching these chords, Ann hopes to bring attention to a belief system that revered the Earth as a sacred body and treated her with respect.”

Artwork: “Yukidora Hanging Lantern”. Ceramic 17” tall.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $105.

“Although my work is functional, I strive not to make pieces that duplicate one another but rather give each piece an individuality and a life of its own. Creating work that has personality and strength is an ongoing challenge to endeavor to make pots that I want to use, touch and live with.”

40. Jacqueline White

Artwork: “Tulip Platter”. Ceramic. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $125.

“

“Jacqueline White has been working with clay for nearly thirty years. Her works have had yearly Artist Sponsored Showings since 1980.

Early pieces were production ware that she developed through attending numerous seminars, conferences, workshops and special events. Over the past 6 years the focus of her work has been to develop a more sculptural approach to the art of ceramics through exploration of form and design. However, her first love is producing pieces people can use and love. Ms. White’s work has been enthusiastically received by the public and has been bought by collectors in England, Australia, United States, Ontario, New Brunswick and of course her home-town Vancouver.”

”My work is inspired by the pursuit of creating. Clay gives me the opportunity to work with organic material, which is enhanced by the process of heat, flame, and ash. The sculptures and pots I create develop in a spontaneous fashion following the natural rhythm of the clay without limitation of formal convention.”

41. Pat Vickers

Two artworks donated by the Artist.

“To discover a new passion in mid life is one of life’s greatest gifts. Watercolour has captivated me for many reasons…the whiteness and limitless possibilities of a blank sheet of paper, the way the pigments mix with water, the challenge to control the flow, the translucency of the medium, the delight in “lucky accidents”, the discovery of new techniques, the lesson of patience, the joy in learning, and the opportunity to meet, study and paint with a wonderful group of talented people. Recently my work has become more semi-abstract and I am enjoying working and experimenting in this freer style.”

“Pat Vickers is a Canadian artist, born in Ontario and now dividing her time between Toronto and Vancouver. Her introduction to art classes started on the west coast with local courses, leading to drawing and painting workshops in Ontario, British Columbia and Washington State. She works mainly in watercolour but also enjoys the mediums of acrylic and pastel.

Pat is a member of the Vancouver Art Guild and the Westcoast Calligraphy Society, and a supporting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her work is on display at the Eileen Fong Gallery. She has been involved in numerous group exhibitions and has had solo showings in Vancouver. Pat works out of her studio in Vancouver’s West End. Her paintings are in private collections in Canada and the United States.”

42. Yukiko Onley

Artwork: Gift Certificate for head shot photography session.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $350.

Example of portrait photograph:

“Yukiko was born and grew up in Osaka, Japan, but has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada since 1976. She has been surrounded by art for most of her life. Her grandmother was a master of the tea ceremony and of flower arrangements, and one of her aunts is an accomplished painter in Japan.

Yukiko's early training was as a painter. her long association with the Canadian artist Toni Onley, both during and after their marriage, has been a significant influence on her work. In 1989, painting led her to photography.

Self-taught, Yukiko has become one of the finest portrait photographers on the West Coast. Her approach to her subjects is intuitive and spontaneous. Her portraits are elegant, sophisticated, and timeless. Because her wedding photographs also display these qualities, she is much sought-after as a wedding photographer.”

21

Yukiko Onley continued

“Besides visual art, Yukiko is interested in a wide range of music, dance and theatre productions. For many years, she was an enthusiastic equestrienne. Currently she is a volunteer photographer for the Modern Baroque Opera Company in Vancouver. Recently she has started dancing the Argentine Tango.”

There have been numerous exhibitions of Yukiko's work in Vancouver, Canada.

43. Yvonne Wakabayashi

Artwork: Handmade wool shawl neck wrap - Shibori stitched and bound, slashed, over- dyed and fulled. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $150.

“Yvonne Wakabayashi has for many years taught surface design, both at Capilano College and the University College of the Fraser Valley.

Yvonne Wakabayashi’s heritage is reflected in her textiles; a fusion of the ancient Japanese ancestry that inspires her combined with the new ideas and processes of the modern world that enriches her work.

Yvonne credits a workshop with Hiroyuki Shindo, Indigo Master and contemporary shibori artist, in Japan in 1983 with bringing her Japanese identity to the surface. At the time, she visited Arimatsu where arashi shibori indigo dyed cotton for kimonos was first developed and she has since made it her signature technique. She uses silk produced in a small family mill in Gunma Prefecture in Japan that responds especially well to sculptured forms. With this traditional approach as a foundation, Yvonne has made personal adaptations to create her own unique style of art which also combines careful planning with carefree spontaneity. Arashi shibori enables Yvonne to manipulate an undulating surface evocative of the ever changing waves of the ocean that is a link from the ancestral island home of her family in Japan to modern day life on the west coast of Canada. Another important melding of east and west for Yvonne is teaching; a most honourable profession from her heritage that has allowed for reciprocal exchanges with students that open her mind to modern processes and novel directions while remaining true to the roots of her craft. Yvonne’s work can be found in private collections around the world.”

44. Kathryn Youngs

Artwork: “Flower Holder”. Earthenware ceramics. 12” by 14” by 3”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $300. Starting bid $125.

“I was born and raised in the home of Disneyland. Since officially immigrating to Canada in 1973, I have incorporated the concerns of a painter and sculptor with those of a potter, concentrating on form, brushwork, colour, construction, and a cross-cultural examination of decoration. I use slab-constructed earthenware clay, painted with clear-glazed coloured slips. My pots have a "function" that is akin to theatre props - they convey the idea of a vase but their "role" relates to movement, art heroes, and colour.

There are enough creation myths involving dirt to make one wonder if maybe they're true. Enough of my childhood was spent watching cartoons and reading Alice in Wonderland to conclude that every pot has a personality and is just waiting for the chance to dance. Time spent making mud pies was enough to impress upon me that using the whole geology of a planet and the magic of fire just to make a

little pot is as powerful as it gets.”

45. Sylvia Ohrn

Artwork: “Fish Tea Pot”. Wheel thrown and altered white stoneware clay hand painted with slip-coloured stains. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $110.

“Sylvia set up her own studio in 1977 - working with brown, speckled, high-fired stoneware. By the mid-80's, she wanted more colors in her work so she began using white clay bodies and an electric kiln to get bright, clear colors.

I am interested in the changes that can occur with the interplay of form, function and surface design. Playing with these elements is what I find interesting and challenging.”

48. Patty Osborne

Three artworks donated by the Artist.

“In 2000, when Patty Osborne returned to clay after a twenty-year hiatus during which she looked at and thought about pots but didn't touch clay, she discovered that somehow she had become a better potter—without having to make a lot of bad pots.

Since then she has worked mostly with oxidation firing and some raku firing, but now she is experimenting with the use of acrylic paint and collage techniques on clay forms.”

52. Gordon Guenter

Artwork: “Opening Soon”. Photograph. Framed 29” by 29”. Valued at $500. Starting bid $150.

“After many years in the furniture and home décor business Gordon Guenter has taken yet another course in his career. His work has taken him to many countries around the world. Early days were spent in South East Asia discovering Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. As his interests in travel broadened his travels took him to Europe to discover a new perspective. Journeys included northern Europe and as far south as Greece. All his energies focused on his furniture business and the thought of photography never entered his mind.

On a ‘real holiday’ to Paris and the South of France with his wife, the imagery that was always in his head was translated to a series of photographs of which you will see on his website. Gordon saw the possibilities of the stunning architecture and scenery that was available in this region.

Upon his return he began to compile his work into a series of media and what you see in his website is the result of his work. In addition to his collections from France you will be able to witness a broadening perspective of his travels. Additions will include Italy.”

53. Teresa Knight

Artwork: “Main Street”. Acrylic on board 18” by 20”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $450.

Teresa Knight says of her work: “Every day I see things of beauty that affect me very deeply. I give form to all these sights and impressions by painting them, so that my paintings serve as snapshots of my daily experience.”

“Teresa started painting with her sisters when they used to paint and draw to pass rainy days at their Ontario cottage. Painting, together with teaching art, have since become a life-long pursuit. She finds it extremely rewarding. “ “Largely a self-taught artist, she was practicing in Toronto, and fell in love with Vancouver on a visit during Expo ’86, and decided to attend the University of British Columbia to learn more about contemporary painting practice. She there obtained her B.A. in Studio Arts and Bachelor of Education in art.

Teresa paints whenever she is not teaching, and her art work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions in B.C. and Ontario. The Vancouver Art Gallery’s Art Sales and Rentals carries her paintings and the Vancouver-based Casa Art Collections offers prints of selected paintings for sale. Locally, her painting entitled ‘Main Street’ won ‘Best in Show’ at the Muir gallery last summer in Courtenay. “

54. Veronica Foster

Artworks: Diptych from the “Evolution Collection”. Mixed media. Each piece 8” by 8”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $150. each or $300. for both.

54.1. Artwork: “Raven Rosehip Flight III”.

54.2. Artwork: “Raven Rosehip Flight IV”.

“In some mythologies the ravens and crows are considered to be prophetic birds, symbolic of the gift of second sight and of creativity. The rose is a symbol of mystical rebirth and initiation into the mysteries of life. Together the paintings evoke a sense of visual poetry . . . a gathering of elusive memory awakening us to our inner senses. Each series in the collection consists of unique, hand-painted digital images on cracked plaster and canvas. Each are small sections from the original plaster fresco artwork.”

“Veronica Foster was inspired to become an artist at an early age by a book on the Renaissance. Her father, also an artist, taught her to draw and encouraged her to develop her career. With an academic foundation provided by her studies at the Vancouver Vocational Institute, Capilano College and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, she prospered for over ten years as an in-house and freelance graphic designer and airbrush illustrator.

Returning to the source of her inspiration, Veronica chose to explore her interest in architectural decorative arts. A modern day alchemist, she has developed a versatile repertoire of both contemporary and historic decorative painting techniques. A series of contemporary fresco fragments she created has captured the attention of the media on several occasions and subsequently the studio and her artwork have been featured on: Rogers Community Cable Global Television News with Dave Gerry, The Discovery Channel, "Travellers" Shaw Cable, and "City Nights". As a result of this media coverage some of the fresco artwork is now available as art prints through Art in Motion, an international art publishing company. In her career as a professional artist Veronica has worked on many local and international projects, collaborating with interior design professionals to create personalized works of art for their discerning clientele.”

Lee’s images have won several awards and received many honours through the Professional Photographers Association of British Columbia (“PPABC”) and the Professional Photographers of Canada (“PPOC”). She was the second person in Canada to earn a National Accreditation in Fine Art Photography. Lee is also accredited in four other categories and is a ‘Master of Photographic Arts’.

57. Laurie Parish

Artwork: Necklace and earrings set of Rose Quartz gemstones, handmade glass, sparkling crystals & sterling silver. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $100. Starting bid $25.

“Laurie was born in the Euro-flavoured city of Montreal, Quebec, so it was inevitable that she learned how to throw on a scarf and say ‘Ooh lala, je ne sais quoi.’ ‘I imagine it was my first sight of sparkling, holiday lights on that snowy Christmas Eve when I was just 7 months old, that really captivated me and I've been crazy for beautiful 'sparklies' ever since’.

Early forays into fashion (okay...dress-up..) and later interests in architecture, film noir, literature, theatre and art history culminated in a college scholarship and a BFA degree at university. Laurie draws on her fine arts background and a lifelong fascination with beauty and design to inspire her colorful creations. While doing wardrobe on Broadway touring shows, she began to make jewellery. It was only when asked by the stars she worked with where they could get her pieces, that a bijoux business was born.

Laurie's jewellery has been in almost a dozen locations around BC, but is now concentrated in very large collections in selected stores. Her playfully named bijoux collections embrace many eras and eclectic styles using lustrous, fresh-water pearls, semi-precious gemstones, sparkling crystals, rare and vintage ‘treasures’ and exotic beads from around the world.”

Although his trusty airbrush has been largely replaced by a MacBook, his style remains “heightened realism” – well-suited to literal or idealized representation.

Past editorial clients include McClelland and Stewart, Harlequin/ Worldwide Mystery, enRoute Magazine, Homemakers Magazine, and the Toronto Star. Advertising clients include American Express, Apple, Cadbury, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Hain Celestial, Harmony Airways, Koyo Foods, Levi-Strauss, Loblaw Inc, Mattel, Nabisco and Nestlé.

Desmond has received awards from the Toronto Art Directors Club, Marketing Magazine Awards, Mediacom Awards, and CAPIC (Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators in Communications) Annual Awards. His work was included in the juried publication “American Illustration” as well as in various academic design publications.

Desmond currently works from home on a small farm in Hazelmere, South Surrey, British Columbia.”

60. Richard Barazzuol

Three artworks donated by the Artist.

“Richard has pursued an interest in photography as a hobby and an art form for many years. His special interest is landscapes that capture a natural beauty but also evoke a sense of the supernatural. By imposing slightly surreal elements into natural scenes he attempts to create a mirror of reality that helps us to see the spiritual side of nature. Where boundaries collide new forms appear. When nature meets itself new images form. By blending scenes of nature together a new perspective is born to help us see more clearly art as nature and nature as art.”

62. Carole and Paul Huel

Five artwork donated by the Artists.

“We were born in the Lower Mainland (Vancouver area) of British Columbia, Canada. We moved to the Kispiox Valley in northern British Columbia in 1972, where we have been homesteading since 1975, raising a family, growing gardens and making pottery.

We started experimenting with clays and glazes in 1984 and continue to explore the many facets of working with clay. An interest in geology and the formation of rocks and minerals has inspired us to work with local materials in our glaze explorations and as a result we have formulated most of the stoneware glazes that we use on our functional ware pottery. Work with glazes and clays is a continuing process for us, and we are constantly thinking of ways to incorporate some of the natural elements in our environment into our pottery.

We've exhibited our work in the Northwest at the Terrace Art Gallery, the Smithers Art Gallery, the Northwest National Exhibition Centre at Ksan in Hazelton. We also attend several craft fairs each year in the northwest, and in the past to Prince George's "Studio Fair" and to the Vancouver Circle Craft "Summer Market" Juried Fairs. Our work is sold from our Kispiox Studio Gallery where we work and live and from our web site. Pottery is our livelihood, and a major part of our lives. We enjoy making functional stoneware pottery for everyone to enjoy, as well as working with murals, tiles, Raku and larger stoneware pieces of amore esoteric nature.”

66. Jessie Forman

Artwork: “A Wee Cutie”. Materials: Needle felted wool, wire, floral tape. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $30.

“Jessie's exploration into the technique of Felting began with wet felted slippers, an endeavor fueled by both curiosity and necessity during a winter spent in a basement apartment in Halifax. From there she discovered the felting needle and began to create small creatures, eventually focusing on birds. Jessie's first exhibition of her felted work took place at The Lilac Festival in Calgary, Alberta. In preparation for the event Jessie took her work on vacation with her to a cabin in Saskatchewan. When she wasn't being attacked by mosquitoes, Jessie was able to draw inspiration from thesurrounding wildlife.

Jessie's birds continue to evolve. She has since shown her work atBirkeland Brother’s Wool on Main Street in Vancouver. She enjoysaccepting commissions for new ideas. Jessie delights in the personalities of each individual bird and measures their ‘success’ by whether or not they make her chuckle when they stand up in front of her.”

69. Linda Frimer

Artwork: ”In the Garden”. Hand coloured photographic print 1/18. Framed 20” by 20”. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $ 650.

“Linda Dayan Frimer was born in the gold mining town of Wells, British Columbia. She is the descendent of Jewish Canadian pioneers who, at the turn of the century, fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe to follow the developing railway West.

Throughout their wilderness journey, Frimer's ancestors' cultural memories imbued their lives with meaning. Her art expresses this journey. The cycles, seasons, and moods of the powerful wilderness - in relation to her compassion for her ancient peoples' stories of persecution and survival - are her source of creative inspiration.

Central themes in Linda Dayan Frimer's watercolour, oil, acrylic and mixed media work reveal the intensity of her bond with nature and her cultural heritage. She has been intimately involved in Jewish and Canadian cultural-artistic pursuits in creating commemorative, educational and artistic works. Her work is situated in the public domain through workshops, presentations, exhibitions and special projects.”

70. Angelika Rauschning-Jamal

Three artworks donated by the Artist: All oil on canvas.

“Early works oil on canvas from the 1980’s”. “The greatest treat for me as a child was a bedtime story read to me by my loving grandmother. She introduced me to the magic world of German and Scandinavian fairytales. My father, a professor of languages and a wonderful storyteller and puppeteer, inspired my young mind with his own stories as well as ancient legends and myths from around the world. No wonder, then, that I found myself drawing and writing at an early age to capture the rich heritage they were passing on to me. I attended art classes in Germany and later on in England, but never found the time to pursue my art as anything other than a hobby. After emigrating to Canada, I continued to draw and paint in oil and had several, well received local exhibitions. However, the turning point came a few years ago when I discovered digital painting through Photoshop and the Wacom Tablet. What an exciting journey … and I’m still traveling! Let me invite you to join me and discover a world where magic still happens and wishes do come true. Most of all, I hope you’ll enjoy my stories and illustrations as much as I enjoy sharing them with you.”

71. Clemence Wescoupe

Artwork: “Goose”. Print. 22” by 18”. .Donated by G. Anderson – Courtesy Creekhouse Gallery. Valued at $120.

An Ojibwa Indian born on the Long Plains reserve in 1951. Credited as a founding member of the “Woodlands School” The term is used to denote the work of artists from the Ojibwa and the other two closely related tribes – the Cree and the Odawa. Ojibwa artist Norval Morrisseau and Odawa artist Daphne Odjig are the recognized Elders of the school.

His command of negative space and the fine flowing elegant lines, reach deep into a cultural artistic tradition, seeking “Spiritual Harmony”

Guided with a powerful sensitivity to emotions his art is concerned primarily with spiritual guardianship. Nature in its pure form provides an endless source of inspiration, yet many of its images are familiar and its appeal immediate and profound. A self taught artist, he achieved national and international acclaim in his early youth. Undoubtedly, he is the most collected Indian artist.

72. Rosalyn Gale Powell

Artwork: “Flowers”. Limited edition print 34/48. Framed 30” by 24”.Donated by Peter Steele Valued at $500.

“The modesty of Bainbridge Island painter Rosalyn Gale Powell mirrors the scale of her subjects – a single blossom, a handful of cherries, a vase of blue and mauve hydrangeas. Her modesty does not do justice to the delicate detail and nuance of colour she weaves into her meticulously painted still-lifes.

Whether the subject is a luminescent pink peony or a hanging basket of lush, draping greenery, exacting detail and quiet control shine through. In both oil and watercolour, her delicately poised compositions grow from a life-time of keen observation and disciplined dedication to painting.

Popularly known for several Pike Place Market posters that feature her work, Powell’s paintings are widely collected and have earned her the Governor’s Art Award.”Website: http://www.fosterwhite.com/dynamic/artist.asp?ArtistID=112

87. Ken Jackson

Three artworks donated by G. Anderson – Courtesy of Creekhouse Gallery.

“As a child living in the suburbs, Ken Jackson preferred solitary ramblings in woodlands. This early love for nature shows consistently in his work. Ken started his career in commercial design and advertising and then switched to set design, brochures and marketing matter. His burning desire was to paint on his own and, after 10 years of working for others, he became a fulltime artist.”

48

Ken Jackson continued

“To see his paintings is to also recognize the man. Each piece of his art is the result of careful solid planning. His paintings evolve gradually and are based on a personal emotional appeal and desire to satisfy himself. Like many artists, he is at home outdoors and occasionally travels to a national park to spend time walking or canoeing. There he sketches or photographs and his love and feel for the landscape become obvious. By observing his subjects on location he gets a better sense of the textures, shifts in light and other intangibles that ultimately affect the finished work.

Ken uses his own mixture of egg tempera ingredients as his medium. His work is clear cut, precise and exact, yet alive, whether lit by the brilliance of the sun or the muted light of the moon.

Ken comes from London, Ontario where he maintains his home and studio.”

Hughes remarkable career as an artist spanned70 years and encompassed his work as a gifted printmaker, successful muralist, outstanding Canadian war artist and prolific painter.

His paintings depict land, sea and small moments of daily life with a rare clarity and vividness. Hughes has a distinguished reputation for work underscored by a passion for the beauty of the west coast of Canada.

In 2001 E.J. Hughes received the Order of Canada and in 2005 he was awarded the Order of British Columbia. His achievements and rare success are due to his singular approach to representing Canada with passion and originality.

95. Bonny Roberts

Six artworks donated by G. Anderson – Courtesy of Creekhouse Gallery.

“Bonny Roberts has been painting & experimenting in art for as long as she can remember. With a love of all mediums she has experimented in watercolour, acrylic, oil, ink and collage. Recently relocated to Keremeos from the Lower Mainland, she and her husband have built a spacious studio/gallery in her home. Having been a member of the federation of Canadian Artists for many years, Bonny has attained her AFCA status and has taught many workshops in BC. With a number of awards under her belt and paintings sold world-wide, she is currently exploring the world of colour and is turning more to the abstract for subject matter.

Bonny's goal in every painting, whether abstract of representational, is to create excitement for the viewer. Other things may fall by the wayside but a piece must always stir the emotions. Energy and colour are the means by which she tries to achieve this goal.”

“I have painted all my life. My style has been mainly representational with the single most important element being colour. I have, during the last several years, been struggling with the abstract in order to explore the spectrum to its fullest without the distraction of recognizable form. Whether attempting abstract or representational, I limit myself to a very small portion of the colour wheel and try to explore

every facet of the section I have chosen. ‘My scope is as limitless as the universe and my excitement rises each time I sit down in front of a blank canvas. Each small segment of the wheel represents a multitude of possibilities. My goal is to create excitement and emotion in each finished piece. Needless to say, I will never live long enough to explore all the nuances of each possible combination but I will give it a darn good try.”

100. Suzanne Nairne

Three artworks donated by the Artist..

“In 1994: I was in a very small (5 students) beginning metalworking class in an old studio with high ceilings, huge, heavy worktables for benches, large well used pieces of equipment bolted to the floor, and cupboards stacked with hand tools; it was New York City and the space was full of history and atmosphere. The teacher asked that someone turn out the lights so she could demonstrate soldering. The white light that was the heated solder flashed around in a circle connecting the round bezel to the silver sheet below in a strong bond. At the risk of sounding too ‘Hollywood’, it really was one of those transformative moments for me -words like alchemy, epiphany, magical, primitive, elemental, sprang to mind and I sprang to the bench when she asked who would like to try soldering first. I loved this fire that could also change metal, seemingly so hard and ungiving, into a malleable, cooperative material with which to work. My collaboration with metal that began that night at The Craft Students League is always challenging, but endlessly inspiring. “

Suzanne Nairne continued

“Since: I was at The Craft Students League for 2 ½ years and 10 years ago, returned to Vancouver. I work in a studio room in my home and use outside studio space as well. Being a member of Circle Craft Co-op I am very thankful that I was awarded a scholarship that allowed me to take workshops with Harold O' Connor and Charles Lewton-Brain. Please check Circle Craft website for a review of a solo exhibition in Sept. 2006.”

“In Suzanne Nairne’s ‘From Nature II’ one of a kind collection she blends architectural lines with natural elements. She combines elements like seeds and bamboo leaves with gold to represent what is precious in life.”

102. John C. Sayer

Artwork: “Dragonfly”. Signed print. Framed 19” by 29. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $300.

“My grade 9 teacher told me I should be an artist as a career... I wasn't a great drawer but I had an unique imagination... But I got into drugs and booze when I was 12 and a life of crime... When I was 16 a cop got me a job and I turned my life around always thinking about what my grade 9 teacher had said, so I went to some night school classes when I was in my late 30's and got back into it... Thinking of becoming a tattoo artist, I studied Chinese brush painting and took some drawing classes... So I quit my job as a scale tech, rented a warehouse and was going to open a gallery... But 3 weeks before the opening a car turned in front of me at an intersection while I was doing about 60km an hour on my Harley almost killing me... While I was in the hospital a friend ask me to do an abstract painting for him, so I designed my first abstract and used acrylic paint for the first time... It took 3 years to recover and I had painted many abstracts so I went into debt for another year and a half trying to do it for a living... I bought a 44 inch inkjet to make my own prints and gave it my best shot, maxed out my credit and had to go back to work but I gave it my best shot all because I felt guilty about not being an artist.

I had my first art exhibition at a friend's salon; it was the biggest day of my life. All my close friends and family helped make the food, my daughter sold raffle tickets and my wife looked after the guest book. I even tracked down my Grade 9 art teacher and she came as well. I tried to find the RCMP officer who got me my first job and turned my life around. I put letters on 20 of my paintings and when people came in they got a sheet with 20 spaces and were asked to give names to my paintings, it was a big hit. When I went onto the sundeck after the show, all my friends cheered and clapped it was very moving for me.

My teacher liked one painting the best (so I named it "Teacher's Pet"). Well about a month ago I got a call from the school board, my teacher was retiring and she requested one of my paintings as a retirement gift. I was her pupil the first year she started teaching, now 31 years later she is retiring. At her retirement party they gave her the painting that she had liked at my show, she started crying and we hugged, it was very moving. I don't think teachers that are good realize how much they influence our lives.”

Artwork: “Cambie Village”. Signed and Serialized Print Set #00000 Sigma. Framed 18” by 74”. Donated by the Artist in the name of his cat, Fat Mama, and his dog, Miss Bailey. Valued at $600. Starting bid $150.

“I am nothing more than a tool of creativity. Ideally, when people interact with my work, from paintings, to four player chess games to web sites or 3d animations, it is my hope that the viewer gets trapped in the experience and spends hours enjoying my work.

I am about being all things Canadian and setting new standards of excellence. I am the only Canadian painter to ever send a flag into space on STS-115 with Dr. Steve MacLean of the Canadian Space Agency. Dr. MacLean was gracious enough to carry the flag the Canadian Forces gave me as thanks for my work commemorating the loss of our soldiers in Afghanistan. That flag escorted the souls of our fallen soldiers home to the heavens to make sure they made it home safe.”

57

Joseph Green continued

“I demand an exceedingly high output of professional grade quality of work, demand that all of my work has integrity and honour and bleeds all things Canadian. I am about setting new standards never seen before in human history and I am not interested in doing this for any other reason and just seeing how far I can push in this lifetime.

My next project is "The Vancouver 50". Fifty paintings of Vancouver's historical landmarks each measuring 5X4. At the opening of that show, I will announce my next major project: the project that will involve every artist in the world. Simply put it is the most ambitious art project in human history and I am going to attempt to demonstrate the full power of the world wide arts community.

Above all, never stop producing because in a blink of an eye from now, you will be dead.”

111. Allyson MacBean

Nine artworks donated by the Artist.

“Allyson’s early years in England, Newfoundland, and the countryside of southern Ontario instilled in her an enduring love of nature. Although she enjoys painting landscapes and people, many of her paintings portray the interconnectedness of the natural world, especially birds and animals. Over the years, she has been working on a series of collage-like paintings of Van Dusen Gardens, one for each month. In 1992, her watercolour “The Birds of Vancouver” was chosen by the Vancouver Natural History Society as a commemorative poster celebrating its 75th anniversary.

In addition to receiving both private and corporate commissions, she has illustrated books and magazines on nature, including Gardening for Nature, Birders’ Journal, A Birdwatching Guide to the Vancouver Area, and The Natural History of Stanley Park.

After visiting Italy, she became interested in urban architecture and portraiture. In 2005, her portrait of her husband, “Vintage Red,” won An Award of Excellence in the Human Figure Show at the Federation Gallery. In 2005 and 2007, her paintings won the Western Art Circle’s Picture of the Year Award and the North Shore Artists’ Juror’s Choice Award.

She is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, the Western Art Circle, and the North Shore Artists’ Guild. Some of her work is being shown in the Eileen Fong Cooperative Gallery at 88 West Pender, Vancouver, BC.”
