This new exhibition of paintings and drawings highlights her ability to translate the deft mark-making of her pastel studies into richly atmospheric acrylics. Her work is featured in public and private collections throughout Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Austro-Canadian painter Ernestine Tahedl has been exhibiting in Canada and abroad for over 50 years. Her vibrant abstract canvases draw the viewer into an immersive experience of colour, texture and light. Named for pieces of classical music she listens to while painting, her works are a paradoxical balance of painterly freedom and underlying rhythmic structure.

Saimaiyu was born in Iqaluit. She moved to Cape Dorset as a child, where she has lived ever since. Her parents, Lau Akesuk and Olayuk Akesuka were one of the first Members of the Legislative Assembly in Nunavut.
Saimaiyu was inspired by the work of Ningeokuluk Teevee while they took a class together, and turned that into her own unique style.
In her works, Saimaiyu often draws bears, birds and other wildlife rendered with strong colours and patterns. Through simple stylised forms, Saimaiyu's work exudes energy and whimsy, and takes a bold approach to contemporary Inuit imagery.
Clayton Anderson was born and raised in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Inspired by iconic Canadian painters such as Emily Carr and Lawren Harris, Clayton's paintings demonstrate a strong understanding of composition as well as a subtle yet luminescent rendering of light. His work evokes a distinct power of place.
Rick Bond is an established western Canadian artist. He currently lives and paints full time near Vernon, B.C. He was born in Victoria, B.C. and grew up in the Gulf Islands off the west coast near Vancouver. Rick started his painting career in 1980.
