Lucie Walker - Painter Artist Statement I love the bridge between past and present, and the universal themes of loneliness and hope. Every painting starts with a feeling rather than an idea of what to paint. I let the subject emerge and lead me. As the painting unfolds, so does the story. I leave questions in my paintings left for the viewer to take further; Is the letter good news? What did she decide? Biography Self-taught and painting voraciously since 2004, Lucie Walker is a Vancouver artist, painting mostly with acrylic, sometimes oil. 2007 found her studying oils with artist Madeleine Wood, allowing Lucie to explore painting from life and photographs. Merging her newfound knowledge with her 'happy accident' approach to painting some of her canvases are whimsical and light, some capture moments in time...forlorn characters, usually women, with a retro feel. www.luciewalker.com  Snapshot" |

Crafts Association of B.C. presents A Mano 2008 Innovation and Excellence within Emerging Jewellery Design Profiling: Sue Fitzwilson, Negar Khatami, Linda Read, Sue Seward Four students taking programs with Vancouver School Board Continuing Education and Andrea Roberts Studio in Vancouver are presenting their unique work for the first time to the public. Andrea Roberts, a recognized Canadian goldsmith and Vancouver instructor in cooperation with the Crafts Association of BC present "A Mano," a show of local hands reflecting a continuous dialog and exploration of emerging jewellery art and design. Sue Fitzwilson Sue holds a fascination with texture, shape, form, and the shifting shades of light and dark. This fascination with these elements has been reflected in her photography and weaving, and is currently being explored in her jewelry making. The wonderful world of metal is an endless exploration of infinite shapes and possibilities for Sue. Negar Khatami Born and raised in the Middle East, Negar combines her ethnic background with the contemporary notions of working with metals to create and communicate her designs. Negar prefers to work with high carat gold, sterling silver, precious, and semi-precious stones. She also, works to coordinate a variety of techniques, mediums, and methods such as lost wax carving, texture, and Keum-Boo. Linda Read Five years ago, Linda began her journey in working with metals and has not looked back since then. From the first time that she aimed a torch on a piece of silver, she was hooked. Linda enjoys learning new techniques; using different materials and experimenting with color, texture, shaping, and melting. She feels that even mistakes can lead to new discoveries and looks forward to discovering more possibilities with metal. Susan Seward Whimsical and inventive, Susan designs with environmental impact in mind. She is a treasure hunter discovering new and exciting ways of shaping metal and transforming the inspiration of our natural world into jewelry. She loves the way hard metal can be transformed into an organic, gentle, and beautiful art piece. |
