Web Site: www.margselkirk.com Email: margselkirk@shaw.ca _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Pat Stauffer Studio Name: Impressions  Impressions…………… everyone has a different impression of what they see around them. Each of us has something that we see which triggers an emotion or a memory While painting what pleases her senses Pat creates her impression of what she has seen. If she manages to strike a cord that plays a memory back to a viewer, she often finds that this will be the person who buys her painting. On her travels Pat has been fortunate to use her camera to capture impressions that she finds pleasing and has amassed a large inventory of photographs from Canada, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, England, the Mediterranean and the United States. Many sources of inspiration are close to home while walking through some of the local parks, in a garden or in one of our local parks. When she takes a picture she usually has a painting forming in her mind. “I try to keep my subject matter varied as I find this keeps me fresh. I really enjoy painting flowers and nature but I want to continue to challenge myself with something different that will appeal to others. I feel excited about expanding my creative horizons. Pat usually does a detailed drawing and stays pretty much to realism. Every effort is made to work with the best paper and paints available with attention to conservation techniques in the framing so that a client will know they have a piece of original art that will last for many years and will look as fresh as the day they acquired it. Pat is a member of the Campbell River Arts Council, Comox Valley Arts Council and Pearl Ellis Gallery.

I graduated from the
Elizabeth Gaskell College, Manchester and taught art, design and
textiles at various levels before leaving for Canada in 1982.
My passion has always been colour and textures. Recently I have taken up water colour painting and find that it both challenges and compliments the fabric artwork. Over the past four winters we have been visiting relatives in Western Australia. Australia has been very instrumental in giving me new ideas to develop. At the moment I am developing works that have an added dimension by making them 3D. Although most of the work originates from a series of photographs that I have taken to get the realism and accuracy, most subjects gain a new perspective through artistic creativity. My first public show in September, 2010 (Themes and Dreams) at the Pearl Ellis Gallery, is the accumulation of these new ideas and techniques.

Steve’s interest in photography grew when trained by the Royal Navy as a ‘Ship’s Photographer’ and was further broadened by a diploma college course in the late 90’s. He moved to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island with his wife Pauline in 2006 and really fell in love with BC and its special coast. Over the past decade or so Steve’s work has been published in newspapers, on several websites, has been used in promotional video presentations and national slideshows and has been retained in government and scientific databases for reference and referral archiving. Today, photographing the region’s wildlife is his passion. “In my short time in BC I have learnt and seen so much, this coastline and the Great Bear Rainforest are wonderful places to see, I feel very privileged to be able to live and work here.” Website: www.stevewphotography.ca email: steve@stevewphotography.ca___________________________________________________________________________________________

Photographer
and conservationist Steve Williamson spends as much time as possible
working up and down the BC coast and when possible works with
conservation charities in the Great Bear Rainforest. Working with these
organisations has enabled Steve to see many of the amazing sights and
wildlife presented in his photographs. It also allowed him to learn a
great deal about the spectacular scenery and wonderful wildlife he was
seeing, whilst at the same time being able to give something back to the
environment and the area in which he was working.
