2. Elizabeth Barnes

Artwork: “Binary Moth”. Monoprint. Framed 13” by13”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $300. Starting bid $125.

“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.” Website: http://www.winsorgallery.com/artists.php?artwork=barnes_11


3. Greg Kawczynski

Three artworks donated by the Artist.

“Originally from Lodz, Poland, Greg Kawczynski now lives and works in North Vancouver, BC.

4. Cathi Jefferson

Artwork: Hand painted ceramic bowl. 7” by 13”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $165.

“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 intosomething special.” Website: http://www.cathijefferson.com/


5. Eve Leader

Artwork: Untitled. Graphite on Mylar. Matted and framed 15” by 20”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $850. Starting bid $300.

“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 onehuman 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.”

7. Faye Gordon-Lewis

Artwork: “Tulips No.2”. Acrylic on canvas 24” by 30”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $600.

“Nature is my muse - whether it is the intimacy of the inside of a blossom, a cluster of fruit, a stand of winterized forest by moonlight or a scene from a British Columbia coastline. I work in acrylics,watercolour and pastels. My technique involves applying thin layers of paint initially, working to a thicker, more opaque finish in jewel-like colours.

Although travel has stimulated my aesthetic experience, my images reflect the immediacy of my environment. I completed a four-year program at Emily Carr University and then pursued my Bachelor of Arts, in Studio Art, at the University of British Columbia. My work has been shown mainly in British Columbia.

My art is in private and institutional collections both nationally and abroad. Also, my art has been published on the cover of a University of British Columbia course calendar and in an issue of the Federation of Canadian Artists’ Art Avenue.”

8. Laura Clark

Artwork: ”Planters 2007”. Limited edition photograph 1/3, framed 20.75” by 17.25”. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $400.

The photography series "Cementerio" is part of an ongoing project entitled Memoria y Significado. This project explores the diverse cultural practices and religious beliefs evident in cemeteries in various regions of the world.In this case, Argentina and Chile. These photos reflect Laura's interest in how we choose, individually and collectively, to preserve the dead on intellectual, spiritual, and emotional levels. By exposing intimate and personal visual details alongside structural landscapes, the photos are meant to depict individual lives that once were, and more importantly, those that survive, carry on and remember.”

9. Ann R. Uusoja

Artwork: “Gypsy”. Turquoise, white jade, amazonite. quartz, old beach glass, and pewter necklace. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $125.

“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.

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.” Website: http://circlecraft.net/page345.htm

10. Ross den Otter

Artwork: “Tempest”. Mixed media, plaster, carbon, acrylic and epoxy on panel 12” by 16”.Donated by the Artist. Valued at $500.

Ross was born Port Alberni BC in 1969 and was raised in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. He is a photographer, mixed media artist, small scale sculptor and photographic printmaker of over 25 years. A natural collaborator, he has worked with many of Vancouver’s fine art and commercial photographers.

As a child he was taught the importance of stewardship of the land, conservation of resources and creation of a strong community. Those lessons formed his core values and have guided his personal growth through his life. Ross is an active scuba diver and has amassed hundred of dives off the west coast shores, assisted in the training of divers with physical challenges, and worked with conservation agencies in the annual Ling Cod egg mass counts. As an advocate, he proudly contributed to his community by negotiating a complex agreement resulting in a six million dollar improvement to the second purpose built Artist Live/Work studio building in Vancouver while creating a protected green space, in commemoration of Brewery Creek, on what was a neighbouring vacant lot; a process of negotiation that spanned nearly a decade.

Artistically, his photographic works have appeared in publications across North America; have travelled with and promoted arts and cultural performers and performances, and are held in private collections. He calls Vancouver home, travels to expand his cultural base and, leading by example, he can be seen zipping across the city on his electrically powered motorcycle.”Website: http://www.nuovofresco.com/


11. Shirley Lowes

Artwork: “Dans Critters”. Pastel framed 14” by 20.5”. Donated by the Artist.. Valued at $225.

My entry into the realm of painting was at the urging of my artistic sisters who believed in me - the chosen medium was watercolour.

I began by painting flowers as a natural progression of my experience as a floral designer. I have expanded to encompass a variety of

subjects and mediums.

My art is an inherited gift for which I am eternally grateful. The pleasure of sharing my paintings with others brings great joy and the love and support from my family enables me to make this a reality in my life”

12. Sylvia Ohrn

Artwork: White stoneware vase hand painted with a black slip 11.5” tall. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $135.

“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.”

19. Jessie Forman

Artwork: “Nester”. Materials: Needle felted wool, wire, floral tape. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $40.

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 the surrounding wildlife.

Jessie's birds continue to evolve. She has since shown her work at Birkeland Brother’s Wool on Main Street in Vancouver. She enjoys accepting 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.”Website: www.jessieforman.com E-mail: [email protected]

Largely a self-taught artist, she was practicing in Toronto, and fell in love with Vancouver on a visit during Expo ’86, and

30. Michelle Kuen Suet Fung

Artwork: “Where are we going? I don’t know”. Mixed media on paper framed 16” by 16”. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $120.

“Born in Hong Kong and educated in Canada, the artist's works have an Asian sensitivity that is intuitive to her heritage, blended seamlessly with her adopted Canadian culture in a way that is impossible to stereotype.

Michelle's current research interests lie in the play between what is cute and what is repulsive. Cuteness triggers nurturing instincts and is life-affirming, whereas bodily imperfection is the last thing we want to think of after dinner. Her style has been sweetly influenced by the copious amount of manga she read in childhood.

Her artworks have been featured in many television shows and magazines, including Breakfast Television (Vancouver), Photo Magazine (Hong Kong), Crow Toes Quarterly (Richmond) among others. Her newest series Terrible Beauty was published in Ricepaper Magazine in November 2008. Her artworks are in private collections in Asia, North American, Europe and Africa, and in Canada Council Art Bank collection.” Website: www.artatsnow.com

31. Laurie Parish


31.1 Artwork: Bracelet sterling silver bangle blue zircon, Pacific opal, copper crystals.Valued at $75.

31.2 Artwork: Earrings Colorado topaz crystals, Amazonite gems with sterling silver.Valued at $35.

“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.”Website: The Red Bug Bijoux http://redbugbijoux.com/collections.html


32. Veronica Foster

Two artworks donated by the Artist. Valued at $150. each.

32.2 Artwork: “Mystic Rose”. Mixed media hand painted digital print in Fresco plaster 8”by 8”.

“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.”

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 an RCMP officer 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 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 tracked down my Grade 9 art teacher and she came. I tried to find the RCMP officer. 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"). Last year 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.” Website: http://www.johnsayer.ca/

36. Yvonne Wakabayashi


36.1 Artwork: Raspberry hand cut, dyed, and fulled wool lace shawl neck wrap.Valued at $150.

36.2 Artwork: Hand made grey wool shawl neck wrap - Shibori stitched and bound, slashed, over- dyed and fulled. 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.” Website: http://www.circlecraft.net/main.jsp?p2=modules/artisans/artisan.jsp&id=1024061275589

Artwork: Ceramic platter. Donated by the Artist. Valued at $110.

“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.”

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.”

“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.

putting on musicals with my choirs, painting stage sets and designing costumes. This has carried right into my life at present working with seniors to put on musicals. I have played the piano since I was 4 years old studying Toronto Conservatory for 10 years and teaching piano privately. I use my love art in my garden, designing areas and building garden sculptures. I sew, carve wood, and play the ukulele all of which influence my painting. I have taken courses at the Whiterock Summer School for Art, Emily Carr School of Art, worked with well-known Vancouver Artists showing my work in various local venues.

“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.”

“I am a multi-medium artist in my final year at Emily Carr University of Art. My practice ranges from painting, sculpture, installation, costume replication to metal working and textiles. In my works, I draw my subjects from the materials themselves or usually, the natural world.

As a developing artist I have become increasingly aware of animal rights and the dire situation of animal exploitation. My work seeks to question and address the anthropocentric mentality generally displayed towards the treatment of all non-human species that co-inhabit the Earth”.

She started painting in 1974 - in the beginning just for fun. But after a few years she developed into a serious and very successful artist. Most of her work is done “Under Glass" which means painting in reverse on a sheet of glass - a 500 year old technique which was a folk art in Europe. Exhibitions of her paintings have taken place in all major German cities, as well as in Salzburg, Paris, New York and Victoria, BC. Several copies of her paintings have been published by various publishers. Her first calendar titled "Funny Cats" was brought out in 1984.

For 30 years Anne Freidank lived in Munich - In 1988 she immigrated to Canada and isreestablishing her career on Vancouver Island”.

Growing up in Guyana, South America exposed me to vivid colours and wide open spaces, which is why I am naturally inclined to paint landscapes. My main concerns in painting are design, space, light, value, and an emotional connection to each painting. Painting landscapes gives me an opportunity to escape into the world I create on canvas, and I hope that viewers feel a little of what I felt when I created each painting. To satisfy my craving for

colour and culture I return to South America to immerse myself in the milieu.

I received my true art education by traveling and visiting major galleries in Europe. My work is influenced by the French Impressionists, and I spend several hours studying their paintings at the Musee d’Orsay whenever I visit Paris. Standing a few feet away from paintings by Goya and Velasquez at the Prado in Madrid, and a close up view of Picasso’s Guernica, have been very inspiring moments for me. My experiences while traveling through Europe, Australia, New Zealand, West and North Africa, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, South America, the USA, and Canada, have greatly influenced my work.

I am an Active Member with The Federation of Canadian Artists and the North Shore Artists Guild. My paintings have been in several exhibitions including The Ferry Bldg. Gallery, The Silk Purse, West Van. Memorial Library, The Federation of Canadian Artists Gallery, Bellevue Art Gallery, The Shanghai Art Fair, and the North Shore Artists’ Guild Annual Exhibition and sale. My paintings are in private collections in Canada, Ireland, Guyana, Australia and New Zealand.

I am happiest with a paint brush in my hand, and plan to keep painting for the rest of my life. Website: http://nsartists.ca/gloriaoneil

He immigrated to Canada in 1972 and, to survive entered business, leaving twenty-five years later to start a coffee shop in Steveston.

“Lea grew up in the United States, moving from the east coast to the west coast in mid 60s. As an only child and being raised in an era of children should be seen and not heard, crayons, paper and pencils became her silent companions. Encouraged by both parents and teachers at school, she continued on her goal to become a productive, accomplished artist. Art Center College of Art and Design in Los Angeles attracted her based on its fine reputation and she majored in advertising illustration. After completing 3 years of study, Lea earned a Bachelor of

Fine Art and headed north to Vancouver, BC, a place which she had visited during a holiday between semesters. Lea began working as a freelance illustrator and photographer mainly with advertising agencies and some notable personal clients including BC Forest Products and the UBC Botanical Gardens.

In the late eighties, Lea had the opportunity to further her studies and undertook three years at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, completing a Diploma of Fine Art with a concentration in ceramics, three dimensional work and mixed media. It also gave her the confidence to begin to let go of the commercial art field and move more towards fine art, sculpting and painting. Lea also began working and curating in galleries in Vancouver, Delta and White Rock, immersing herself totally in the art world and observing the styles and techniques of other artists.

Today Lea is painting full time in-between teaching children and adults in both group and private lessons. She also volunteers with the South Delta Artists Guild, helping to strengthen the art community.”

“A.J. Brown started to explore various arts in 1999, as a way to overcome personal fears. One of these was a nightmare she had as a child. This dream is a parable of her life: I’m at the bottom of a well, looking up. I see the Sesame Street puppets with their mouths opening and closing. I have a feeling of no way out. I can’t yell for help, because no one understands my speech. This is such a feeling of helplessness!

A.J. Brown had a brain injury during birth. This brain injury caused her to become deaf and to have something that looks like Cerebral Palsy. As a result, she has difficulty speaking and using sign language coherently.A.J. is self taught. She works with acrylics, pencil, charcoal, pen, pastels, felt pen, collage, scratch art, and her cat. She was also a potter, writer, poet, actress, dancer, music composer, and musician. She created, wrote, produced, directed, and edited a video. In 2004 she wrote and illustrated a book, titled: My Voice: A Journey of Creativity, Courage and Hope. This book contains her short stories, poetry and art. She sometimes mixes these media to create something. Each piece of her art is unique. She paints slowly and meticulously for one, and fast and impatient for another.Each has its own personality: One will have vibrant, wild, lush colours, and another will have shy, withdrawn, tame, muted colours. Some are whimsical, and others are serious. Her work shows how she feels right at the moment of creation. To borrow a quote from her aunt, A.J.s art has a childlike naiveté and is not contrived. I think it was Picasso who said the most wondrous art is that done by children - bold, courageous and honest.

With her art and through her images, she can be heard. A.J. believes this is her way to freedom and spirituality. Most importantly, art is her way out of that well.She resides in West Vancouver, with her gorgeous cat, Rumbles.”Website: http://www.handsandpurrs.ca

“I was born in Vancouver and educated and trained locally save for traveling abroad. I took general drawing courses, life drawing in Germany and a year of post-grad work in China.

While working in Europe, I painted the walls of a preschool. That research using children’s story books motivated me to train in the arts. Then, a summer job in Europe following first-year art training brought me face to face with Toulosse-Lautrec at the British Museum. That stone lithograph print inspired me to major in printmaking and specialize in lithography while attending Capilano

College, Emily Carr and Zhejiang Academy of Fine Art.”

“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.” Website: http://www.circlecraft.net/main.jsp?p2=modules/artisans/artisan.jsp&id=1017405751559

“Born in Germany and raised in the middle east and Asia, Christine developed an early interest in art as well as an appreciation for the infinite variety of life offered by nature. She combines her talent with her love of animals to produce art that resides in corporate collections around the world.

Subjects are depicted from life, the product of hours spent observing, taking notes, sketching, and photographing in the field. Raising many injured and orphaned animals has provided first hand knowledge of anatomy and behavioral characteristics, resulting in accurate, detailed renderings that allow insight into the day to day lives of her subjects.”

Eight artworks donated by G. Anderson – Courtesy Creekhouse Gallery.

These spiritually inspiring times of her youth gave impetus to her desire to develop her artistic talents. Today one sees the result of her hard work in her exquisitely rendered landscape and wildlife paintings. Marla’s work is done with dedicated attention to authenticity, which has come through intense study of animal anatomy, plant life, and land forms. Marla works on one image at a time, spending a month of long hours to complete it. Marla is currently seeking new inspiration in the forest depths and coastal regions of Vancouver Island.”

98. Ken Jackson

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

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.”

105.2 Artwork: “My People Were Many”. Limited edition print 287/295, 20” by 26”. Valued at $100.

“Canadian artist Dorothy Francis was born and educated in Saskatchewan. The cold winters of this prairie province gave her an insight into some of the living conditions of the Canadian north. She later moved to British Columbia where she began studying at the Vancouver Art School. She is widely known for endearingworks of art which show her unique form of sensitivity and appreciation for grace in day-to-day life. Her compositions radiate a light-hearted happiness and usually feature native children. She records the north, past and present, hoping to give us a glimpse of the Inuit way of life.

Through her acrylics, oils and pastels, Dorothy has earned wide recognition for the respect and warmth with which she portrays her fellow Canadians. She has exhibited in many major galleries in Canada and the United States.”


106. Abraham Apakark Anghik

Artwork: “Dance of Life and Death”. Limited edition print 274/300, 20” by 26”.Donated by John Polnick. Valued at $165.

“Abraham Apakark Anghik comes from Paulatuk, a community in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Born to parents Bertha and Bill Ruben, he is one of fifteen children. Anghik shares his artistic passion with his brother, noted artist David Ruben Piqtoukun, and both artists have received international recognition for their artistic achievements. Anghik’s early life was spent in a nomadic lifestyle, a background that gave him a permanent link to the Inuit way of life. He also spent eleven years in a residential school where the main goal was to assimilate the children and rid them of their Inuit heritage. While this time resulted in the artist’s loss of his mother tongue, Inuktitut, it also drove him to search for personal identity and history.

In the artist’s words: “I have chosen to be a storyteller for my people… I need to do my part in carrying on the stories, myths and spiritual legacy”*. This personal objective is strongly reflected in Anghik’s work; much of his imagery is based on stories of ritualistic ceremonies that were told by his grandparents and extended family.”

107. Keith Hiscock

Artwork: “Harbour Light”. Limited edition print 624/950, 23” by 29.5”.Donated by John Polnick. Valued at $165.

“Keith Hiscock was born in Victoria, B.C., and he has been working as a professional artist for over twenty-five years. His home in the Pacific Northwest and places to which he has traveled inform his artistic practice. From earlier abstractionist explorations to his current forays into magic realism, this self-taught artist's work is distinctive and compelling. His punctilious attention to detail and uncanny ability to create surreal distillations of light and atmosphere are of a very high order.”

110. 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 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.”

“I am twenty-six and living and working in Vancouver. I have been focusing on painting as my artistic practice for over ten years, and during that time my work has gone through many phases. However, generally described it strives to give shape and visual presence to subconscious processes, archetypes and entities that reside in the female psyche and play an integral role in a woman's journey of self realization. The pieces submitted for the Artists for Animals auction represent various phases of my painting style and thematic interests. Using strong imagery these works aim to explore the visual field of the canvas with line and colour, while delivering a powerful impact to the viewer. More of my work can be seen this weekend at the Drift.”
