metis and acadian heritage<br />
at the wheel and especially in<br />
handbuilding techniques. Her<br />
style is known as fluid with a lot<br />
of movement glazed in earth<br />
and natural tones.<br />
Susan Brown<br />
An avid <strong>Oakville</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
member, Susan divides her<br />
artistic pursuits between local<br />
Bronte photography capturing<br />
its lakeside beauty and oneof-a-kind<br />
funky yet functional<br />
hand-built pottery.<br />
Theresa Jardin-Ottoni<br />
My infatuation with creating<br />
pottery has evolved over the<br />
last five years. I appreciate<br />
the process of making items<br />
both decorative and functional,<br />
large and small. Colour and slip<br />
decoration are a new area of<br />
exploration for me.<br />
Andrea Seibt<br />
The beauty of marine life has<br />
always captured me, scientifically<br />
and as an artist. My<br />
paintings reflect my passion for<br />
the underwater environment. I<br />
enjoy using various media to<br />
develop my ideas.
Carla Gonzales<br />
<strong>Art</strong> to me is all and in everything.<br />
I paint from the heart<br />
and I paint what I see and feel.<br />
I specialize in oil painting and<br />
mixed media.<br />
Edward Hoyer<br />
A painter, photographer, writer<br />
and sculptor, Edward uses a<br />

texture his work takes you<br />

serenity rules.<br />

the Niagara Escarpment. She<br />
works in acrylic, watercolour<br />

life are also favoured subject<br />
matter.<br />
Janice Ykema<br />
I enjoy celebrating the<br />
medium of acrylics and using it<br />
to evoke emotion in the viewer.<br />
Inspiration often comes from<br />
my observations of humanity<br />
and my desire to translate my<br />
understanding through the use<br />
of creatures.<br />
Jose Homero Guevara<br />
There is a deep rationality<br />
in Jose’s work; The Tree has<br />
always been one of the most<br />
representative elements found<br />
in nature. In his paintings, the<br />
magic trees divide the space.<br />
Light & shadow, negative &<br />
positive are part of the balance.
Mae Gioux<br />
To me the art is an extension<br />
of the artist, the act of creating<br />
is even more rewarding than a<br />
superbly finished product.<br />
I believe that an artist must be<br />
a creator and express from<br />
within.<br />
Mario Angel<br />
I paint using various techniques<br />
both classical and impressionistic.<br />
I express experiences of<br />
love, hate, anxiety, regret, joy,<br />
and happiness. In my art I hope<br />
to convey the balance and<br />
ultimately the unity of life.<br />
Mary Ann Pumpelly<br />
Mary Ann has painted for<br />
many years and is currently<br />
fascinated by the vibrancy and<br />
transparency of watercolour.<br />
She uses this medium to create<br />
realistic landscapes from her<br />
travels and in life-like portraits<br />
of people and animals.<br />
Mary<br />
Pumpelly-Knowland<br />
Mary uses vibrant colours and<br />
textures to create dynamic<br />
paintings that celebrate the<br />
joy of life. Her favourite themes<br />
-flowers, animal portraits and<br />

Rhonda Franks<br />
Rhonda’s style can be<br />
described as photo-realistic.<br />
She likes to capture nature just<br />
as it is found in life. Her watercolour<br />
paintings are looser and<br />
more impressionistic, but still<br />
strive to capture nature in all its<br />
splendour.<br />
Elena Henderson<br />
My uncontrolled imagination is<br />
a crucial part of my work. I use<br />
my brush as a powerful tool<br />
of self-expression. I transform<br />
simple and refined shapes into<br />
dramatic scenery of graceful<br />
forms, brilliant colours and<br />
texture.<br />
Gordon Mitchell<br />

Maria Hoyer<br />
Strength is in the classic use<br />
of oil paint, Maria’s work<br />
invokes images that take us<br />
into a world of Latin heritage.<br />
A unique talent in detail and<br />
technique, her work is alive with<br />
colour, expression and realism.<br />
Marsha Strycharz<br />
Marsha studied drawing and<br />
painting at Sheridan College.<br />
She works in oils and paints still<br />
life in a classical realist style.<br />
Her subject matter is simple,<br />
allowing the light, shadows<br />
and reflections to share the<br />
focus.<br />
Silvia<br />
Damar Radvansky<br />
Silvia’s artistic work is a study<br />
in methods and concept. She<br />
explores different techniques<br />
with oils, acrylics, inks and<br />
watercolours to obtain textures<br />
and colours that harmonize,<br />
concepts which move from<br />
figurative to abstract.<br />
Rodgrigo Valenzuela<br />
<strong>Art</strong> has been a part of my life<br />
since I was a child & have been<br />
blessed with strong illustration<br />
skills. A professional working<br />
artist, I enjoy the challenges<br />
and details of landscape<br />
painting.<br />
Isabelle Marin<br />
Isabelle’s art is inspired by her<br />
love of travel and photography.<br />
Vivid landscapes, still life and<br />
abstracts are expressed in<br />
watercolour, acrylic and print<br />
media created at her home<br />
studio in Burlington, Ontario.
Atanur Dogan<br />
A Turkish-Canadian portrait<br />
& figurative watercolour artist,<br />
Atanur has been deemed one<br />
of the five best portrait artists<br />
in the world by the Portrait <strong>Society</strong><br />
of Canada. He is pleased to<br />
welcome art lovers to his studio<br />
home.<br />
Rosemary<br />
VanderBreggen<br />
My passions for art are in<br />
watercolour and collage.<br />
Both mediums allow me the<br />
freedom of expression that<br />
translates my life experiences<br />
to paper. Bright, colourful,<br />
beautiful, happy and wildly<br />
imaginative.<br />
Elizabeth Elkin<br />
Elizabeth is a renowned<br />
professional artist with an international<br />
reputation, with over<br />
25 years’ worth of experience<br />
in the field. Oil on canvas, her<br />
art ranges from landscapes<br />
and cityscapes to abstract: a<br />
rich display of striking color.<br />
Tad Dunin<br />
Tad skilfully uses watercolour<br />
and crayons, to capture his<br />
imaginary world. He draws<br />
on his memories, dreams and<br />
impressions to paint semi-<br />
realistic places that don’t exist.<br />
Through his paintings, he visits<br />
them, creating his own journey.<br />
Joanna Turlej<br />
Joanna is a watercolour painter.<br />
Through the use of texture,<br />
colour, and light contrast,<br />
she wants to stop viewers in<br />
their tracks and be mystified<br />
about a particular time and<br />
place and to be drawn into<br />
the unknown.
