Address: portraitsbylenore@gmail.com
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!). Find me online at https://portraitsbylenore.ca
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.

Address: brenda@blueseedstudio.com
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.

Mark Jackson
Mark Jackson's Art
Mediums: Acrylic
Address: 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.

Address: 614 HALLSOR DR Victoria, BC V9C 1L4
Description: I STRIVE to create images with emotion, empathy, and honesty. Whether it's a tintype portrait or an ambrotype landscape, I take the utmost care to make images that will stand the test of time. I am passionate about photography and the wet plate process in particular. I love the slow pace of the process. It allows time to get to know the person, or place, that I am working with. Conversations happen, stories are shared, art is created, memories are made. That too, is part of the process.
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.
