Claudia Schaefer
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.

Lisa Arthur
While Eastern ink wash painting is traditionally monochromatic, relying on nuanced variations of black ink, Arthur’s work may also incorporate restrained use of colour. Central to her practice is the prioritization of brushwork and the communication of the perceived “spirit” or “essence” of a subject rather than literal depiction. Having studied the foundational elements of ink painting with artists including Yukman Lai, Ari Tomita, Kazuaki Tanahashi, and Li Zhenjun, Arthur’s current practice moves toward contemporary abstract ink painting, where inherited techniques are reinterpreted to articulate a personal and intuitive visual language . Lisa earned a Fine Arts Honours Degree at the University of Guelph and a Teaching Degree at UBC. She has also studied at Emily Carr University and Ottawa School of Art. Lisa currently provides private art instruction.

David Riddell
David has worked with wood for most of his life.
Now he sees trees and their parts differently.
What can be exposed? What can be created? Grain patterns and more.
Once he has a piece on the lathe; the inner soul of the tree emerges.
He works mostly with locally sourced woods from orchards, gardens, or the forest.

Bowls made from locally sourced woods from orchards, gardens, or the forest.
