Combining his passion for rainforest conservation with professional photography, TJ sheds light on BC’s endangered old-growth forests in an effort to help see them saved.

Brian G. Turner

Canadian artist Brian G. Turner has travelled Canada and has captured Canadians essence through his beautiful paintings.

“Having entered the work force as an architectural draftsman at the age of 16, Brian worked part time and full time for numerous architects and engineers over a 14-year period while he completed his Bachelors and Masters degrees of Education with a Fine Arts major from Okanagan College and Brigham Young University. Brian has recently re-immersed himself in the medium of watercolor after retiring from a 37 year teaching career. Brian’s artwork strives to express his deeply rooted love of the Canadian landscape which is a result of having lived in Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario along with his recurrent career related travels across Canada.
 “In his early years Brian illustrated numerous publications and articles. His production of artwork was laid aside during much of his teaching career and has been re-ignited in his current passion for watercolor.” https://www.brianturnerart.com/recent-work.html

Angela ( Hook) Bailey

“Angela (Hook) Bailey graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta. There, she was exposed to many forms of art and types of media. In 2002 she began exploring the possibilities of wire as an artistic medium. With few resources existing on the subject, she set out to re-popularize this form of creative expression as well as develop her technical expertise in a craft that seemed to have been forgotten.”

“I see my work as ‘linear sculpture’… it’s like drawing without taking your pencil off the paper… only in three dimensions. The continuous line is very important. That is what helps the viewer’s mind to fill in what is not there. It’s a very elegant way of asking the audience to participate in the art, to finish the picture.”

Shauna Liora

Shauna Liora from Canmore, Alberta is an artist and an outdoor adventure guide. She combines her two passions.

‘While on a trip north of the Arctic Circle in 2015 I met a First Nations artist who introduced me to the mysteries of fire and ink.

I was incredibly inspired and developed a method that allows the fluidity of fire to be captured with mesmerizing effects.

I now combine my skills as artist and adventurer to help tell stories through each piece.

We all adventure in our own way. Adventure has the ability to offer a doorway into new worlds.” Shauna Liora

Jennifer Delaney

Jennifer Delaney is from Calgary, Alberta.

“Hi! I’m Jenn. I’m a self-taught artist, well, as much as one can actually be. By that I mean I haven’t gone to any kind of school for art, but I have definitely been ‘taught’ a lot about it from many influencers that have come and gone from my life. I mostly play around with ink and oil paint.

One of my favourite things about my ‘ink’ line is that it’s very minimalistic; an approach I have been trying to include in many areas of my life. I feel like sometimes art can feel a little ‘cluttered’, which can totally look great if done right, but sometimes I want a little more simplicity in my life but still want my house to be covered in art. I also love how they’re very adaptable and can fit into any room and style. They’re still rough and sexy like a sketch should be, but have a little more depth thanks to the benefits of ink over pencil.”
