Pamela Thurston’s paintings are simple statements about the joy of being still; of simply seeing and being aware of a connection with place. The images speak in mystical tones, not only because of her own sense of wonder in the face of nature, but because of the time in her life when they were created. Viewers are asked to slow down and sense the inner peace that the landscape near the artist’s home provided during a time of stress and loss.

Daniel Bagan’s artistic philosophy is to create art from what you know. Images of landscapes, especially these which are from sites in the central Alberta Region, hold a certain familiarity in them because they mirror our own experiences of once being in similar places. The artist creates his work en plein air (on location outdoors), which means that his feelings as an artist about the surroundings at the time are a part of every image.
