Nora Curiston
Nora Curiston is a painter and sculptor living in Grand Forks. A self-proclaimed ‘late bloomer’ she only recently graduated from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. She thinks of her sculptures as ‘visual poems’ – quirky juxtapositions or manipulations of objects that give them new meaning.
Caroline Anders
Caroline lives in Wells year round, painting during the winters and working out at Bowron Lake during the summer. Caroline had a solo exhibition titled ‘Cities’ last April at Island Mountain Arts and will be exhibiting that series at the Quesnel Art Gallery, Terrace Art Gallery and Maple Ridge Art Gallery in 2011.
Paula Scott
Paula began painting in her late thirties, is mainly self taught and credits the BC Festival of the Arts and Island Mountain Arts workshops for much of her development as an artist. Her work is mainly autobiographical; memories, feelings and muses of the world from her perspective meant to provoke thought.
Maria Sandner
Born and raised in Christina Lake, BC. Obtained my BFA from SFU in Vancouver. Never straying far from the mountains, I then lived in Whistler for 3 years, working as a Snowcat mechanic’s assistant and making paintings for art shows in my spare time. I currently reside in the small town of Ymir where I have a home studio so I can paint and snowboard full time.
Stephanie Kellett
Stephanie Kellett is an emerging BC artist whose ‘creepy cute’ paintings use collage and an expressive painting style to disarm the shadow side of life.
Laurie Monique Landry
A visual artist painting with acrylics and oil, Laurie Landry completed Fine Arts Techniques at Emily Carr University in 2008. She is currently living in Wells, BC to focus on a series of local landscape and still life paintings.
Andrew Raney
Andrew has worked with steel most of his career and gets a lot of his inspiration from nature.
His forms generally are of an organic nature, giving new warmth to an otherwise industrial material and process. Andrew works with fire to achieve the plastic state of the material, and with the high temperature of the oxy-acetylene torch, is able to cut and weld the steel into an amazing creation. www.craftconnection.org
