Eric Hibit: “Abundance and fertility are a metaphor for the creative process itself, where ideas flourish and come to life. I see color vividly and express that perception in my work, creating new color relationships that are both beautiful and intense.“ #artistinresidence
Ginger Marcinkowski: “I try to absorb the life taking place around me or I skim through old photographs and then mold those moments into stories that will move the reader. I enjoy writing ‘faction,’ or truth nestled between what is real and what is expected." #artistinresidence
Chantal Houle: "I'm merely a witness to the world I live in as I try to understand and improve my own process. I have so much to learn and...in a way...so little time. But I'll give it my best shot." #artistinresidence
Kristofer Parley: Upon moving to Victoria BC, his love for architecture blossomed and became his primary subject matter. “Parley’s incredibly vibrant watercolours take local scenes and imbue them with his love of his community.” #artistinresidence
Kalina Winska: “As an artist working in contemporary abstract drawing, I am interested in exploring environmental issues such as our ambivalent relationship to climate change, concepts of weather modification, and the human drive to control natural phenomena.” #artistinresidence
Pierre Poussin, Installation Artist: “Currently, I am exploring much more personal themes of mental health and addiction, as well as different artistic mediums that can evolve my ability to articulate emotion through art.” #artistinresidence
Mitchell Hung Kit Mei (Seeyu) - Hong Kong: "Leaning on my foundational training in traditional Chinese painting, I compose my landscapes with the rhythm of ink, using the "cursive brush" techniques inherited from masters of the ancient Dynasties." #artistinresidence
Heather Browne: “Art has always been a conversation. I sense a great need for the human voice today in our digital climate. In a time of disconnectedness, story becomes the most honourable way to reconnect with ourselves and with others.” #artistinresidence
