SHINAH LEE
Randonnée d’automne I
Oil on canvas 30 x 72

At the age of thirteen Shinah Lee’s family relocated from South Korea to Montreal. In the years that followed, her studies at Dawson College and University of Quebec shaped her artistic sensibilities.
Somewhere in the Memory
Oil on canvas 30 x 80 (diptych)
$4100
After her father’s passing, Shinah’s paintings took on a more emotional dimension. They are inspired by images and vibrations she perceives in her surroundings. Not just a flower, but a spontaneous emotion by which the artist shares her feelings about love and life.

$4660

GEOFF SEARLE
Large Oval Vase with Double Top
Raku 12 x 13 x 13
$1000
It has been said that Geoff Searle’s work is almost as intriguing as the man himself. Not known to be a conformist, his creativity and natural curiosity have led to some exciting work that puts him at the forefront of clay innovation.
Medium Round Vase with Top
Raku 8 x 6 x 6
$465
The combination of burnishing clay and firing in a ground pit is not a new idea. The method has been used for centuries. By adding organic materials and metals to the process, many unique, complex and exciting pieces are created. – Geoff Searle, on the pit firing process

BECKY HOLUK
Marvellous Mountain Majesty
Acrylic on canvas 36 x 36
$2750
Becky considers it a blessing to be part of the connection which artwork provides between artist and viewer, and has discovered that hikes and walks in the natural, majestic beauty of the Alberta Foothills, Canadian Rockies and the West Coast are favourite times to ‘observe, record and reflect’ for later artistic pursuits in the studio.
By the Stream
Acrylic on canvas 40 x 16
$1660

JANIS WOODE
The Novel
Vintage typewriter parts, plate steel, wrapped copper wire, patina 39 x 3 x 4
$3300
The Novel pays tribute to the writer of yesteryear when words were pulled from old sticky keys of vintage typewriters. When taking apart these old wonders of technology, clues left behind reveal characteristics of previous operators. Perhaps sunflower seeds were a favourite snack consumed. Perhaps bobby pins fell when hair was pulled trying to find the perfect phrase. Tobacco and sticky suggestions of scotch or some other favourite cocktail appear like a careless time capsule. Always, always, traces of eraser and white out can be found, telling us that the perfect phrase can be an elusive creature chased still today. – Janis Woode
