I make art to create beauty. I am inspired by nature and by human interactions with the natural world. I live in British Columbia, Canada on the ocean on Denman Island where I regularly walk the trails and beaches, and sketch en plein air.
In addition to painting, I am a textile artist and print maker, and have shown my work in a number of shows in various locations, including West Vancouver, Courtenay, Duncan, Victoria, Denman Island, and Austin, Texas.
I have a dedicated painting and print making studio space at Artwrx in Courtenay, British Columbia where I am supported and inspired by interaction with my fellow artists. My small home studio on Denman Island is full of textile art projects on the go, embroidery threads, dyes, fabrics, and tools.
I am a member of the Denman Craft Shop collective where I sell textile work, watercolours, cards, and fine art prints. I teach embroidery workshops through the Creative Threads Conspiracy on Denman Island, and the Vancouver Island branch of the Surface Design Association.
I retired from a professional career as an academic librarian in 2008. I studied Fine Arts at North Island College part-time from 2015 to 2020.

Description:
I paint in acrylics, and I specialize in portraiture. I also paint animals--pets and birds in particular. My goal in capturing likenesses is to convey life, not through the precision of rendering but through the energy of wielding a large brush with skill and blending paint on the canvas. I prefer to paint large, up to 30x40", but am exploring painting small too--down to 6x6 inches (so far!).

Jock Hildebrand
Mediums:
Public sculpture, bronze and stone, printmaking Painting
Description:
Jock Hildebrand: An international reputation for sculpture making.
Jock Hildebrand is a graduate of Emily Carr University with an international reputation for large sculptural projects, primarily in bronze and stone. Having worked in Asia and Europe, as well as North and Central America, Hildebrand’s vision of sculpture has been gathered from his almost 40 years as a professional artist. Many of his ideas stem from his interest in anthropology and ethnology, as well as extensive travels. These influences are often portrayed in his works, but also interspersed and blended with his love of the ocean and the West Coast topography.
Hildebrand was founder and lead organizer of the Okanagan Thompson International Sculpture Symposium in 2002. This project left 20 monumental pieces of public art in the region. As a result, he was nominated by the former mayor of Kelowna, Sharon Shepherd, for the Order of BC, and in 2009 he received the Okanagan Visual Arts Award.
Jock has also lectured in China on sculpting in the digital age and worked as a consultant for the Government of Belize to assist with the establishment of a public art collection.
In addition to creating sculpture, Jock is also an accomplished painter in oils, acrylic and watercolour. In the 1990’s he was cited by Dr. Edward Gibson, Curator at the Simon Fraser University Gallery, as one of the three best watercolour artists on the West Coast, along with Toni Onley and Mark Tobey.
Over my 50 year career, I’ve been fortunate to have placed monumental sculpture around the world, receiving a number of international and national awards.
When not in my studio, I’m likely sailing my 52 ft wood ketch out of picturesque Maple Bay on Vancouver Island, where my wife, Carmen, and I make our home.

Mediums:

Description:
Within the range of possibilities of any given moment there lives a state of enchantment – the chance to find and follow our bliss. When I work in my studio, that is the place where I reside.
There is an alchemy that never ceases to amaze me when working on my metal pieces, how hours of drudgery spend grinding and buffing small pieces of metal and then bending and forming begin to turn them into a beautiful shape.
My metal pieces also tend to take on very feminine forms, flowers and seed pods. They are not always realistic. They are not what you would expect. And slowly, my eyes are being opened to the way the process of forming a beautiful sculpture mirrors the ways our beings as women are shaped.

2078 Ingot Drive, Cobble Hill, BC, V0R 1L6
Description:
Mark Jackson is originally from the UK, but has lived on Vancouver Island since 1998. Ever since he can remember, he has had a passion for classic machinery, particularly cars and motorcycles. Mark can be frequently seen driving his 1970 Triumph TR6 British Roadster around the Cowichan Valley.
Mark specializes in capturing classic cars and motorcycles in a realist style. He works in acrylic on canvas, using bold and vivid colours and the play of light.
Through his artwork, Mark aims to evoke feelings of nostalgia and rekindle memories of simpler times. He believes classic cars were designed and built during an era when craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued. Mark replicates this ethos in his art and for his clients worldwide.

Georgina Montgomery
Mediums:
Mixed Media, Painting, Photography
Description:
I'm an abstract/contemporary artist working in mixed media, photography and paint. Chief among my creative influences: abstract expressionism, colour field painting and surrealism.
The marvel that we exist, and time—the currency we spend for existing—are key themes that influence my art making. My aim is largely on interpreting and expressing visually what scientists, philosophers and poets have to say on both subjects.
My focus in the last couple of years has been a photo-based project that harnesses crazed light. Using an unconventional “lens train”—and, by usual photography standards, imperfect technique—I can seemingly expand the content in any slice of time. The resulting art works, produced as archival pigment prints on fine art paper, capture the rich sensuality and complexity of paintings.

Address:
#103-255 Ingram St Duncan BC V9L 1P3
Description:
With a keen eye and attention to detail along with the philosophy that food should evoke the trifecta of memory, emotion, and hunger in people, Jules Sherred is an unparalleled emerging talent in the field of food and lifestyle photography.
Based in Duncan, BC, Sherred works as a photographer, writer, journalist, and outspoken advocate for disability and trans rights. He is an official contributor to Getty Images, a staff writer for Fstoppers news site, an instructor for professional photographers looking to expand their skills, and is an accredited food photographer with the Professional Photographers of Canada.
Sherred’s history behind the camera goes back decades, from growing up in a household that encouraged photography to being an active member in various photography clubs. His experience during that time instilled the art and science needed to be a quality photographer, but it wasn’t until 2019 when he started his web site, Disabled Kitchen and Garden, that he began to develop his food photography skill.
Disabled Kitchen and Garden was born out of the need to include disabled people in the conversation around food. Through the site, Sherred’s focus was to write about his own experience as a disabled person by sharing the benefits and joys of accessible products while providing a number of tips, tricks, and recipes to make cooking and gardening easier for a variety of disabilities.
Initially Sherred took photos chronicling the cooking process for his readers, but as popularity for the site grew and the opportunity to author a cookbook presented itself, much of the past year went into developing his photography skills to a professional level. The results from that intense period of study are a veritable feast for the eyes. Photos brimming with vibrant colours and staged in a way to both showcase the skill in which the food was prepared and entice the viewer to experience the flavours the dish has to offer.
Possessing a talent and creative eye only matched by his unwavering advocacy for the needs of marginalized communities, Jules Sherred is doing so much more than simply taking photos. He’s sharing the world through his eyes and letting his subjects, inanimate or not, tell their story.
