Rachelle Brady - Oil Paintings
Her method is oil on canvas, mainly through the use of highly textured palette knife work. Rachelle and her husband love to travel, from right here in North America to Europe and South America. As avid outdoor enthusiasts they can be found hiking, biking, and skiing in the Canadian Rockies throughout the year. These opportunities provide a vast array of inspiration that is reflected in her paintings.
Karen Klassen - Mosaics
Susan Jones of the St. Albert Gazette writes “Colour flows through her art the way a river might flow over rocks and stones. Some of her mosaics appear as if lifted from a desert, while others are more reminiscent of the sand mandalas made by Buddhist Monks”.
Her goal is to create works of art that are inspirational, timeless and can transport us temporarily to a higher level of consciousness.
Karen`s mosaics can be seen at current events, galleries, and festivals throughout Edmonton, and Canmore. Her mosaic “cells” was selected for permanent display at the Edmonton Cross Cancer Institute.
She believes that art sets down a distilled expression of the human spirit, one that`s tangible in form and accessible.
