Alexandra Saunders 
Wildlife and the world of nature are at the core of my being. The gift of wonder for the diversity of life was given to me from an early age and it’s my love for animals and nature that inspires me in everything that I do.
Although I've worn many hats in my lifetime, my world revolves around my love for the natural world.
My work attempts to capture the innocence of some very special non-human individuals. My pieces are intimate portraits of them; they, like us, have a reason and a right to...

Geraldine Simmons 
No matter which species I draw, it feels natural to portray sensitivity and innocence as a common denominator, even in the fiercest of animals - something animals do not hide that inspires us to reconnect. With their soulful expressions, you can feel each animal asking you to connect, to listen. I create my art to heed their call.

Karin Snoots
The driving force of my work is to share with the viewer the inherent aesthetic beauty that all living things possess, be it raging surf or a tranquil pond. I want to express my excitement over the incredible things I am so fortunate to encounter. I strive to capture the natural setting by experiencing it first hand. What I find so amazing are interactions with the natural world that I would have otherwise missed, i.e. the company of a little fox or a conversation with a proud raven.

Elisabeth Sommerville 
My strength and my joy is my ability to draw, for which I am eternally grateful. My style is meticulous and detailed and I spend weeks happily drawing a single composition. I experiment with placing my subjects, usually birds, in groups where their poses and expressions seem to form a dialogue among them; a narrative that appeals to the viewer in a lighthearted way. My Métis heritage has likely engendered my love of birds and animals as subject matter.

Linda Sorensen
"As an artist , I am inspired by nature's many seasons and infinite moods of color,light and form. It is here that paint and canvas come together and renew my soul".
Linda Sorensen was one of the most talented and dedicated students I had the pleasure to teach and know in my 20 years of teaching. Her work is strong and bold, starting with nature and putting her distinctive creative stamp on it. Art begins where nature ends. Linda's art was always clearly "Sorensen" The clear stamp of...

Cindy Sorley-Keichinger
In today's busy world, it helps to stop and smell the roses. Gives a person a chance to recharge their batteries. The best medicine for this is a walk in Nature, as found in several studies. I hope that my work of painting landscapes and Wildlife helps with this; and gets people to notice the world around them. If people are engaged with the world, they help protect the other inhabitants.

Through my work I want to show the beauty and diversity of life within nature, especially the natural Grasslands region of Canada in efforts to raise awareness of this region and to contribute to the conservation of this land for future generations. Through my work I hope to inspire others around the world to find their unique abilities in life and their true passions, and to put the two together to also make a positive difference in our natural world in a way that only THEY can do.

Carol Stratman
IT IS THE INNOCENCE AND PURITY OF WILD ANIMALS THAT IS SO ATTRACTIVE TO ME. I STRIVE WITH EACH WORK TO PORTRAY THEM AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, MY HOMAGE TO THEIR BEAUTY AND SIMPLICITY. TO ME, THERE IS SOMETHING SO INTRIGUING, AND HUMBLING, IN DRAWING SOMETHING THAT EXISTS THAT DOESN’T KNOW IT EXISTS. ANIMALS SIMPLY ARE. THEY KNOW INSTINCTIVELY WHAT THEY NEED TO DO EVERY DAY TO SURVIVE AS THEY COEXIST IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT IN A FRAGILE AND HARMONIC BALANCE.

Mark Susinno
I consider myself to be a fanatic fisherman, and one of the aspects of fishing that inspires my artwork is the physical beauty of fish themselves, even those many people consider less attractive. But I also find the underwater environments inhabited by fish every bit as worthy and compelling subjects as any above-water landscape. I am often asked why I choose to paint fish, but to me, the greater wonder is that so few other artists do so.

Tammy Taylor
My art is an extention of myself; always present is a connection to something I know and love. Art is not just my passion but it is an outlet for me to document visually what I am passionate about. It is very important to me that I am accurate in details so that I can create life like images, but also try to capture something in my subjects that is unexpected. Something that personifies the animal in a way that we can relate to, and that will evoke an emotion or memory.

Rich Tesner
Explore, Dream, Create, Inspire.
As an artist and instructor, I look for inspiration through the exploration of the world around me. I am an avid traveler, photographer, and painter. I enjoy spending hours behind the lens in hopes of capturing one or two images that might reveal themselves as opportunities for a new painting. My painting style ranges between impressionism and photorealism, and is greatly influenced by the subject matter. Each painting has a story and each one is a reflection...
