Mike Radford

Mike Radford was born in Kamloops in 1958.  His family relocated to Prince George where he finished secondary school and went on to study Fine Arts at the College of New Caledonia.

From 1983 - 1987 he studied in the Studio and Commercial Arts programmes at Capilano College in North Vancouver.  During this time, he was fortunate to study under many of British Columbia's finest painters.  Here he developed his skill and love for watercolour.

Mike works almost exclusively in watercolour and chooses a variety of subjects to paint.  Travel in such exotic locations as Mexico, Cuba and India has inspired many of Mike's watercolours.  His home province of  BC continues to provide him with beautiful subject matter to paint.

A British Columbian artist, Chris Charlebois has been painting for many years. He attended Vancouver School of Art during the 70`s, and his painting instructors were Bruce Boyd and Don Jarvis. Inspired by Riopelle and Borduas and not without influences coming from Turner, Klimt and Van Gogh, his work is evolving into a kind of a nature based abstraction.

Price is an established artist who lives in Tsawwassen. She has been featured in many solo shows in Western Canada. Her nature, being fond of exploring a range of colour and textures, lends itself to working in just about any media - which she does.

"Art to me is sort of drawing a spirit and soul out of a two or three dimensional surface," says Price. "There are times I want to have that immediate, spontaneous experience, and I would choose painting on silk or something similar. Where other times I want to slow down and have more control with exploration that takes a little longer as in building forms in clay and creating an installation."
