Internationally acclaimed wildlife artist Terry Isaac grew up in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and it is there that he began his love affair with wildlife.

Drawing inspiration from his own backyard and from the captivating vistas of the Northwest, he began to create dramatic wildlife art. He now calls Penticton, British Columbia, Canada “home” and, since moving, has continued to create paintings capturing unique characteristics of wildlife and their habitat. Terry travels around the world to capture exciting images.

During his successful professional career Isaac has been the featured "Artist of the Year" at a number of prestigious art shows and expos.

Art Show Opens June 6, 2013

 Jonn Einerssen and Vance Theoret

Vance Theoret

Jonn Einerssen has studied light as his life’s work since he started to paint at the age of 21.The allure of wide open spaces-where the imagination can wander as far as the eye can see-has been the dominant inspiration for Jonn’s golden prairie landscapes and sunlit seascapes; the subjects and style he has become known for.”Art is not a product of decoration, but a window into some place you have been, or want to go. Rather than limiting your space within the confines of a frame, art should expand your view,” says Einerssen.

Both privately and self-taught, Einerssen has followed a successful, adventurous career as a self-sustaining artist for over three decades, painting and exhibiting across the continent. Jonn spent many years on the west coast and living in The Rockies while establishing a fine arts career. He eventually settled in Kelowna, where his studio and gallery are currently located. Einerssen finds inspiration in his years as a boy living on the prairies; he paints what he remembers seeing on the horizon of his childhood like the grain elevator. His pioneer spirit is kept alive because Jonn is compelled to document his experiences in his ever-popular prairie landscape paintings.


 

 

Vance Theoret is a man of few words, as are many who work with stone. But when he does get talking it takes little time to feel his passion for the stone that he works with! And of how he communicates with the stone in a manner hard to put into words but nonetheless very tangible. Theoret is of Mohawk/Metis descent and connects with each stone, allowing its ancient memory to speak to him. Using this first impression of what the stone has revealed, he applies a 'direct carve' approach, letting the design emerge. This rough image is then refined into a clean, solid sculpture, with precise, yet minimal, detail. "I let the stone tell me what it wants to be. The results are far more exciting than if I forced my ideas on my material." While Vance's work portrays the physical presence of the stone, it also evokes a wide range of emotions - from humor to a sense of tenderness shared between mother and baby - and seems to touch you on a very primal level. The pieces that Theoret carves seem to not only have a life of their own but this method also showcases the real star of the show. The stone itself!

POP Original
by artist Dean McLeod

 

Born in Eston, Saskatchewan. McLeod grew up on a wheat farm, where the prairie wind and big sky seared his soul. The rebellious and free thinking culture of his family is evident in his artwork. His father set a life's course for him with the regular advice, "It doesn't matter what you do just be happy". So, he never felt compelled to follow anything other than his heart.

Viewers are struck at once by McLeod's paintings visually deceptive spaces and the rich color of the saturated canvasses. Objects are depicted in a style that could be termed as "contemporary representational". Handmade frames adorn each painting. Built from a wide variety of materials, the frames are an integral part of the artwork. more

What is Pop Art?

Pop Art - comes from the words Popular Art and is a genre of art that uses elements of popular culture with techniques from commercial art and advertising along with bold and bright colours to attract attention. Pop art can be paintings, sculptures, and graphics that use the imagery of popular or mass culture such as newspapers, comics, advertising, and famous people, places, food or material things. A witty and ironic art, it emerged in New York in the 1960s after having it’s start in London during the 1950s.One of the most notable pop artists of all time was the artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987). One of his most famous paintings was that of a Campbell's soup can which was considered iconic to the pop culture of the 60's. Think of pop art as being fun, colourful with child-like playfulness and simplicity.

Love In A Mist by artist Dennis Magnusson
 

 

 

"I believe that flowers are Mother Nature's finest gifts to us all.  The varieties of shapes and colours are endless, and I enjoy the challenge of capturing that beauty on canvas."

-Dennis Magnusson


Red Daylily III by artist Dennis Magnusson
 

 

          Born and raised on a farm in Alberta, Dennis learned to appreciate the beauties of nature and the arts at an early age.  The family home was always alive with music and both parents and siblings had various artistic talents.  Dennis had a definite flare for art in high school, but went on to college and was consumed by music and the high-technology business world for 35 years.  His talent lay dormant until he started drawing and painting in 1998.  Now retired from business, Dennis lives in Vancouver and devotes his full time to the visual arts, painting daily.

 Dennis has taken drawing and acrylic painting courses, but his style and many of his techniques are self-developed. Current passions include detailed pencil creations, and bold, bright flowers in acrylic.  Dennis is a member of "Artfully Yours" artist group and an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
