Claudia Schaefer is a self-taught painter and photographer.
In recent years, her paintings and sculptured pieces with epoxy resin have represented an escape from the mundane and routine. Using bold colour and organic shapes, she explores chaos and order, serenity and excitement. Claudia has gained an intimacy with the natural world through her 30 year career as a botanist and ecologist, and she is fascinated by the way this relationship can manifest in her paintings.

After 40 years working for others, in both Television Broadcasting and then Interior Design and Residential Construction, Anne is thrilled to return to her first love - Fine Arts. Her Expressionistic work has gravitated to watercolour and mixed media - for now. The subject will always be there, whether it’s in landscapes or figurative pieces.

As a budding gardener and a growing artist, Micheline is inspired by trees and the natural environment as subjects for her landscape paintings. She is happy to be living on Bowen Island where the great outdoors always waits. Forests and trees are the primary focus of her work and provide great shape, texture and colour. Micheline hopes to share her love of plants and trees through these scenes from her walks in the woods and trails of Bowen Island.

She has participated in various shows at BIAC, including the 2015 Wearable Art show -for which she created a video tape dress and hat in homage to Evelyn Roth and her vision of recyclable/upcycled art.

Drawing and painting were pass times I seriously enjoyed as a child. After graduating from high school, I spent a year at the art college in Calgary. The reality of making a living interrupted my studies and over the years I was involved in jobs unrelated to art. Eventually my partner and I owned a prepress company, supplying designers, ad agencies, publishers and printers.
My favourite subjects are people and animals. Living on Bowen has given me a lot of reference, and I love its scenic beauty. I learn with every painting, and at every opportunity. carolmcnaughton@shaw.ca
