Peter Moore Studio Name:
Peter Moore Art Studio
Peter
comes from a family of artists. His mother paints and his brother is a
successful graphic artist in England. Although largely self-taught, he learned
soapstone sculpture from Pat Gailbraith (a bronze sculpter). He studied drawing
and water color under Frank Haddock. Peter's style was influenced through study
of the Impressionist Movement.
Peter's favorite medium is acrylic and soapstone, although he has worked in
pastels, ink, watercolor, colored pencil, and chalk. Peter
loves
working with bright colors, which acrylics allow. His love of nature can be
found in most of his works.
Peter exhibits in many shows on Vancouver Island, and also in Alberta.
Peter welcomes visitors to his website and gallery at
#18 - 717 Aspen Road, Comox, V9M 3X4.
He can be reached at
250.339.2546.

Sandra & Walter Moses
Studio Name:
Ablaze Metal Art & Design
Walter and Sandra Moses are the creative force behind
Ablaze Metal Art and Design. They’ve been in the Comox Valley for two
years now, having moved from the Lower Mainland to be nearer to family here.
Their new business is a dream come true for both of them. Sandra has been
involved in creative pursuits of one kind or another her whole life and Walter
has worked with steel for 34 years, building things like frames for telescopes
at observatories in Hawaii and Chile, rides for Disney theme parks, catwalks in
mills, and bridges. Now he turns Sandra’s ideas into art. Their
slogan is,
“If you can dream it, we can make
it.”
The dreaming image reflects the
Moses’ Native heritage. Walter is Six Nations, originally from Southern
Ontario, and Sandra is Coast Salish from the Hwilitsum band in Ladner. Native
art is part or their extensive repertoire. The designs in this facet of their
work reflect Sandra’s coastal origins: whale, raven, and frog, among others.
Sandra
and Walter also create non-Native art and can, as their slogan says, create your
art as well. This can take the form of wall-hangings or freestanding pieces.
The number of applications for decorative metal art is
extensive. For the garden, they have insets for gates or designs mounted on
stakes for planting. For the home, they make firescreens and insets for
railings and door screens. For business, they can reproduce your logo in metal,
make security coverings for windows and doors, and signage. As their slogan
implies, what they can do is only limited by the imagination.

Christina Munck
Now
that I live overlooking one of the most beautiful parts of the north end
of Georgia Strait, among the Discovery Islands, finding something to
paint is not my problem. My challenge is to capture those fleeting
changes in colour and mood caused by the fluctuations in atmospheric
conditions.
I work from studies and quick
sketches made when something catches my eye in still moments and in
fleeting glimpses. Interpreting these into paint is the real joy.
