Artist's Statement: I have long had a love affair with transparent watercolour. The magic of building up colour while maintaining luminosity thrills me, and this slow layering process, combined with detailed drawing, is my meditation. I am interested in exploring the play of sunlight and the patterns it creates in everyday life. By focusing on capturing the transient sunshine, particularly in early morning or late afternoon, compelling compositions are found and I am inspired to pay tribute to the fleeting moments we all see, but pass by so quickly.

Artist's Statement: The mist, the splashing sounds, and the power of gravity perform in perfect harmony in the orchestra of nature. I was conscious of having the least brushstrokes but allowing the water to interact with the pigments and followed my feelings of a waterfall in the painting process

Artist's Statement: This artist is professional watercolour artist living in Collingwood, Canada. She is a member of the SCA, CSPWC, OSA and a signature member of the TWS, where she has won numerous awards. Their bold paintings build on the positive energy of scenes of nature. Her work as a graphic designer gives her a clear eye for form and content. The possibilities and complexities of colour, design, and the power of elemental imagery infuse her work. She is intrigued by shapes and patterns and how they relate to each other in their natural habitat. “I like to play with shapes, design, patterns and colour. My paintings end up as landscapes but they begin their process as colours and shapes that are pleasing to me in a dynamic composition. "

Artist's Statement: The prairie landscape with its flat horizon and feeling of endless space presents some interesting compositional challenges. Fortunately, the sky offers limitless possbilities for drama and aerial perspective. The foregroud bushes also add an eye-catching focal point as well as a feeling of infinite distance. My hope is to help the viewer enjoy the unique spaciousness of the prairie with its subtle but appealing qualities.

Artist's Statement: Inspired by the Ontario ravines of my childhood, these stained glass-like wildflower light catchers appear briefly in the spring to absorb the sun's energy before the forest canopy unfolds. Some species depicted in this painting include the "mourning cloak" butterfly, white trilliums, red trilliums, yellow trout lilies, bloodroot, wild ginger, hepatica, and a hint of mayapple in the background, alongside sugar maple buds. All are set in a Carolinian hardwood forest, covering remnants of glacial moraine left from the last ice age. Due to agriculture and city development, these forest pockets are becoming rare.

Artist's Statement: I've always loved the colour palette of this crockery which is made in Stoke-on-Trent in England. I've often visited this pottery and I'm always bowled over by the vibrancy of their hues. It seem as though one could use paint straight from the tube to match these tints, but no, the reality is a far more nuanced process of careful colour mixing. This painting is the 5th in a series of dinnerware.
