Alison Laing ARTIST
Artist Biography
The aim of my work is to provide bright moments of transportation that celebrate the landscapes and wildlife that I love. After arriving home from a trail run, hike, or camping trip, reference photos and threads of memory filter through my imagination and onto the canvas. I’m drawn to vibrant colours and a mixture of smooth and lively brushstrokes to convey the feeling of that moment in time. I also like to push the boundaries of realism by choosing exaggerated or original colours for my subjects. I find the practice of painting to be deeply engaging, mostly fun (but sometimes maddening), and endlessly fulfilling. I plot, plan, sketch, and paint from my home in Calgary, Alberta.
I am a primarily self-taught acrylic artist who has been making art since I could hold a crayon. In recent years, I have been fortunate to participate in mentorship groups led by artists David Langevin, Heather Pant, and Anita McComas Their guidance and expertise have pushed me to develop my style, refine my technique and embrace the joys and struggles of being an artist.
I have been exhibiting and selling my work since 2021, with my paintings finding homes with collectors across Canada and the USA.

Audrey Orosz ARTIST
Artist Biography
I studied art at the University of Saskatchewan and over the years I have participated in a variety of workshops and classes. I was a member of the Creston Art Club and I served on the executives of the Creston Arts Council and the Kootenay Regional Arts Council. Being involved with these organizations were invigorating and nurturing experiences.
I am a watercolour artist and I have been painting for twenty years. My style is realism and I prefer to paint prairie and farm pictures, landscapes and scenes from Mexico. I paint with watercolour but I also use a variety of techniques and media to enhance the paintings.
My goal is to capture the beauty, colour and memories of a scene and share it with the viewer. Watercolour is an intoxicating and tricky medium and every project teaches a lesson. It is a study that takes dedication and practice. But there are times when the painting almost seems to flow out of the brush as if driven by a creative spark and a need to share how I see the world. It is through artistic expression that I tell a story.

Terri Heinrichs ARTIST
Artist Biography
Terri is a self-taught artist, who has been selling her work professionally since 2001. She is part of several art groups and enjoys showing her work in a variety of art shows around Calgary each year. Her paintings reside around the world.
Terri’s passion for painting is clearly evident in her art. Her Vivid Impressions series bursts with colour and lush texture using thick, creamy oil paint to abstract her unique view of the natural world. Her In Depth series layers two paintings to create a unique visual experience.
Terri finds beauty and inspiration everywhere, from the expanse of the Rocky Mountains, to prairie skies, to details of wild grasses or poplar tree bark. Her work portrays her love of the Canadian landscapes. Boldly abstract when seen up close, her paintings become more realistic when seen at a distance. Terri's masterful layering process blends a bright background color, subtle gold underpainting, and deftly applied oil colors to create a visual feast for the eyes.
