From my earliest beginnings I can remember my desires to express myself through artistic mediums and consider myself artistic from birth. Mostly self taught I gained my inspirations from nature and from brightly contrasting colours. I have always felt a need to express myself through one art form or another and have tried many different mediums, but painting became my choice because through it I could bring the colours out from subconsciousness that yearned to be expressed. Born in Vancouver I have lived all of my life in British Columbia and most of it on Vancouver Island growing up in Campbell River. Later in life I found myself living in Victoria B.C. and have been living there and studying my art. Through the span of a lifetime and through all of the soul searching that I have done I found my way. I have found my path in the form of a limitless expression of art all unto myself.
Thank You.

Heather Hughson is a contemporary artist whose passion for the scenery around her is vividly seen in her photographs and paintings. She often travels around Vancouver Island capturing scenes on camera to later work on in her studio. As an artist, she realized she would have to photograph the things around her that she wanted to paint which started her love of photography. Her most recent photographs document the penstocks that will be removed as part of the new Hydro power station project.

I am a self taught artist and have painted most of my adult life. My mediums include Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour and graphite. Local scenes are favoured subjects as well as human and animal portraits, My work has been displayed and sold internationally.

I have been doing painted chairs for at least ten years. Most of my work is done on well made older wooden chairs. Over the years much of my work has been sold all over the island parts of Vancouver and shipped to the States. I have successfully sold my work at the Farmer's Market for the last five or six years. I have often thought that vibrant painted chairs placed around the downtown area would be an interesting focal point for visitors and tourists .sincerely Denise Klobucar.

Alethea Lewis was born in the small town of Weyburn, Saskatchewan. At the age of 12, she relocated to Sidney, British Columbia on Vancouver Island, where she lived for many years. In school, she dabbled at art with pastel, pen and ink, and charcoal. Taking a short course in oil painting as a teenager, she painted her first work… a dead tree. In the later years, she moved to Calgary, Alberta and remained there for 16 years. She discovered Fish Creek Provincial Park where she explored the many deer trails that led to the river. She became fascinated with the devastation that nature can unleash and was inspired to paint again to tell the stories that unfolded all around her. Then returning to the island, Campbell River, where the forests and streams are so abundant, she continues this theme and continues building on it to include the ocean and Arbutus trees. She uses oil paints with palette knives to create the heavy texture of the trees to capture the circle of life within the forest. Her work can be recognized by her realistic bark and has been described as “…so lifelike” and “Her trees come alive.” Some see only devastation, she sees… HOPE, STRENGTH, AND BEAUTY

Inspired by nature, Jill grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has painted for over 50 years. Currently, she devotes serious studio time to her art, both in painting and art instruction. Color, texture and line, and their subtle nuances intrigue her, and she is a perpetual student of the landscape and the emotion it evokes. "I pray my Art, which illustrates the brilliance and beauty in Nature, is a comfort to the viewer."

From my first pencil drawing at the age of five, through my high school art program, I have had a passion for the arts. I received my Diploma of Fine Arts from the Alberta College of Art in Calgary. I was directly hired as display artist for the Provincial Museum in Edmonton, which inspired me to later open my own Graphic Design Company, where I continued a career in graphic design and illustration. Today that same passion for the arts continues in my daily life.

In a world that bombards us with not-so-happy images on a daily basis, Naomi wants to counteract the negativity with a good dose of humour and joy. Bringing a smile to people’s faces and allowing them to forget their troubles - if only for a moment - is what inspires her and is the ‘why’ behind what she does. Working from her home studio in MulberryLand, Naomi paints light-hearted whimsical images on canvas as well as digital drawings & is illustrating a children's book series to inspire you.

Growing up on the Queen Charlotte Islands , I discovered at a early age that I was able to recreate the beauty found in my surroundings and began the process of self teaching myself how to capture each image I saw. I was able to develop a unique style of painting that captures the deeply felt emotion evoked by breathtaking scenery from all around Vancouver Island .
A graduate of Vancouver Island University 's Interior Design Program I combine my skills as an artist with my aesthetic skills to create contemporary art that appeals to a diverse audience.
