MARY-JEAN BUTLER
Lone Arbutus

$2800
Mary-Jean’s new oil paintings reflect the rugged landscape of British Columbia’s coastline. Her education in both fine art and graphic design play a strong role in the stylization of her work.
Standing Tall
Oil on canvas 36 x 24
$2800
The focus of my work is the exploration of looking inward when interpreting the landscape, the opposition of different forms, lines and colour to intensify each element’s dynamic properties. The study of contrasts between massive trunks juxtaposing the most delicate of foliage, the blackness of a heavy handed shadow intensified by playful strokes of light. – Mary-Jean Butler

VANCE THEORET
Ice Fishing Lessons
Brazilian Soapstone, Indian Soapstone (base) 8.5 x 8 x 11
$1200
Vance carves a variety of subjects, but bears are by far his favourite: “Bears are like big kids that never really grow up. So I can get away with portraying a lot of human qualities in them.” – Vance Theoret
Owl Be Right Back
Brazilian Soapstone, Aventurine (base) 11 x 5 x 5
$800
I like to let the stone tell me what it wants to be… when I do this the end product is so much more alive than if I had forced my design upon it! Doing this also allows the stone to work with you and puts colours and patterns in places that you couldn’t plan any better… Although I take my work seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously… so much of my work has a light playfulness about it! – Vance Theoret
Can See A Lot From Here

$4200
Eunmi’s newest abstracted landscapes show her spirited vision of our west coast.
Arbutus
Acrylic on canvas 48 x 24
$3100
As a contemporary impressionist and expressionist artist, my desire is to create paintings which bring energy to the canvas… more an expression of the mood in the scene rather than a realistic picture. I use depth of colour and form to balance realism and abstract. My hope is that viewers connect emotionally with my paintings in their own way. – Eunmi Conacher
