    “There are aspects common to all of my work: collage, use of recycled and re-purposed materials, density of information, a tendency for elements to emerge, interact, then subside or decay, and a sense of interconnectedness uniting diverse fragments. Though individual works may seem finished and complete unto themselves, I often use them as parts of a greater whole. Each is potentially raw material to reuse or remix in a larger, ongoing work.”

    “I draw inspiration for my jewellery designs from life’s experiences, my travels, and the natural beauty of the world we live in. I particularly enjoy making jewellery that has an element of ‘play’ in the design, like my “champagne” rings with tiny bubbles that ‘lift’ off the surface in a gem-like effect. I use my natural curiosity when creating my designs, exploring ways to use the metals to create a visual sensation, perhaps one of delicacy, softness or fluidity. By using distinct shapes, capturing or reflecting light, adding textures or finding novel ways to blend gemstones and design elements into my pieces, I hope to evoke an emotional response when people see or wear my jewellery. “

    “My urban nightscapes show my fascination with the artificial dream world created by neon and traffic lights. The composition borrows from the randomly scattered light plays I find in the city: the patterns, the juxtapositions, the blending, the subtly and the bright. The reflections of wet surfaces on rainy nights make the colours explode, emphasizing our theatrical surroundings. It’s a world we seek to escape from - real and at the same time, surreal.”

    Jenni Johnston’s oil paintings raise questions of history, identity, mortality and absence. The mundane objects and the memories that surround them are the sole visual focus of her oil painting, though it is the traces of the absent individual that are intriguing. The absent figure that is portrayed in each piece stands in as a universal for everyone.

    “My work proceeds along two parallel paths. I feel dedicated to the preservation of our architectural heritage. I love restoring or replicating old leaded windows, continuing a legacy of increasingly imperilled craftsmanship. Traditional stained glass windows require adherence to an exacting process, and allows little room for improvisation. In my personal work I colour outside the lines. By overlapping pieces of glass in a kiln, I fuse the glass together without the need for a leaded matrix. I simplify naturalistic forms in pursuit of a universal primitivism.”

    “My landscape paintings are both a study of the physical and metaphysical. I strive to depict the beauty and colour of our natural world infused with the multidimensional reality of light. By immersing myself into the elements of nature and expressing my experience in an abstracted expression of the landscape, I practice capturing the feeling of the natural world. Through the inspiration of nature I witness the deconstruction of form into the formless and back into form again; deconstructing trees, hills and sky into colour, lines, form and space.”

    “Although I like my compositions to be abstractly interesting from a two-dimensional perspective, the thrill for me is metamorphosizing a flat white board into a realistic, three-dimensional form. Some of my most realistic textures are generated from random accidents rather than a formal technique; I like to manipulate colour into an earthen, harmonious palette; and I paint from life in my endeavour to capture the essence of a subject’s beauty through its innate imperfections and details. My concepts are equally influenced by a naturalistic rural upbringing and modern urban experiences.”

    “I have been drawn to decay and the transitory nature of the world around us. Buildings and communities age and disappear and are confined to stories of days past. I use acrylic paint and routed wood to capture the images of the outports of Newfoundland and Labrador and the barns of Ontario. These solid structures become fragile as they are subjected to the elements of neglect, the environment and despair. My paintings hold onto the world that is lost or disappearing – sometimes in the blink of an eye.”

    “I paint from my own experience, from what I love and know- if the subject evokes an emotional response in me, then I know it can work as a painting. The best ideas for paintings or drawings often come when they are least expected. I may set out to sketch a waterfall, but on the way find a sunlit milkweed pod beside the path, just waiting to be drawn. Watercolour and graphite are ideal mediums for me, since they are portable, adapt to any subject matter, and allow for both intimate detail and impressionism. “

    “Emotional memories are not always imMedia:tely recognizable as having a concrete birthplace. This concept was explored by photographing through an unfocused lens. Rather than dictating what is to be the perceived truth, blurred images create a doorway that allows the viewer to follow a personal narrative into each photograph. Our memory bank acts as a container in which we capture poignant moments that both consciously or unconsciously take root and follow us through time. The subject matter in my work is familiar to many, but the accompanying sensory memories and the location the viewer places then in, are unique to the individual.”

    “My starting point is landscape. From there I find my way to the materials that best evoke the terrain that attracts me. My interest is less photographic depiction than connecting to the spirit or energy in the composition. Painting landscapes for me is a way of uncovering imaginative states and mirroring emotional realities. I work with large spontaneous gestures, whenever possible involving the whole body in the act of creation. This complete physical engagement liberates the movement within the materials themselves, the painterliness in the paint, and the soul in the charcoal. My work exploits the tension between the rigor of conception design and the unpredictability that come from responding to the materials in the moment of creation.”

    “Working with both native and exotic woods, I try to expose the inner beauty with each piece I create. The shape and form of the vases, bowls and platters I create is dictated by the wood itself. My body of work contains both functional and artistic pieces. The feel of my finished work is as important as the look. It needs to be touched to fully appreciate my unique creations.”

    “I look to the Canadian landscape for inspiration for every piece of artwork that I create. I have harnessed my passion for nature and my background in textile design into the ever-expansive world of abstract painting. My focus in each piece is two-fold; I build texture using Canadian plant material, and develop an abstract pattern. “

    “Two techniques have given me endless opportunities during my 15 years of working with clay. One is using clay slabs, irregular shapes and treating the surface as a canvas. The other is coiling. The fragility imposes wonderful challenges, will the form crack or wrap during firing? Success makes it all worthwhile!”

    “My installation/exhibition addresses aspects of dysfunction. One series, ‘Scheme-ata’, maps dysfunctional communication flow. Gentle pastel colours belie the emotional drain of the situations at hand. A second series in the same colour palette portray anger through humorous images complete with arrows making the trajectories of flying objects- inspired from expressions shouted in anger. “
