John Langeveld
“I am an artist from Calgary specializing in portraits.
For over 50 years, I have been capturing the essence of both people and pets.
Quality portraits begin with subjects who are at ease and being uniquely themselves. This is what I capture in all of my portraits.
form live posing, but that is not always possible (kids like to move around ) interacting with children usualy works the best, taking professional snap shots and use the images to complete the portrait in my studio. Portraits can also be done from existing photos if you already have a favourite.. the quality of your photo must be excellent quality”
Jillaine Jurchuk
Jillaine Jurchuk a Calgary, Alberta artist creates a fusion of photography and paintings for her amazing works.
“The creative flame that came into this world whom we know as Jillaine Jurchuk, began her mortal adventure and spent her formative years in rural Ontario. Honouring the artistic muse that has shaped her life experience since she first picked up a crayon, Jillaine discovered that interior design provided her with a meaningful and practical expression of her artistic gifts, graduating from studies in this discipline in 1999.
After graduating, Jillaine followed the call of the west, settling in Calgary, where she continues to flourish and evolve as a working artist.”
Virgini Senden
“I am an artist who enjoys working in acrylics and oils, and am inspired by the natural environment as well as people. I mostly choose to paint landscapes, trees, florals and animals.
Intrigued by what goes on in an animal I often choose to present them as portraits. Alberta is blessed with a multitude of gorgeous critters and breathtaking landscapes which I love to explore in every season of the year. I cannot go outside without being intrigued by the beauty surrounding us and showing itself in so many different ways. The way the light hits and creates a special atmosphere not only in large areas but also in tiny little niches captivates me. I am mesmerized by it.
My style can be defined as a kind of graphic realism. I enjoy exaggerating on the brightness of colour to produce a cheerful image. I hope to make people smile, not take things too seriously and to enjoy life.”
