BRENDA ROY
Dangly Necklace
Sterling Silver, Emerald, Yellow Tourmalline, Chrysocolla
1.75″ pendant, 18″ chain
$210
I am one of the few metal artists in the country extensively using stone inlay in my work and I constantly experiment to find unexpected and non-traditional ways of incorporating stone into jewellery pieces. I love to play with the surprise of asymmetrical designs and unexpected material combinations. – Brenda Roy
Jasper and Jade Earrings
Sterling Silver, Picasso Jasper, Black Jade 2″ drop
$150

BECKY HOLUK
Elbow Falls Panorama
Acrylic on canvas 24 x 54 (triptych)
$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.
Lagoons at Sunset
Acrylic on canvas 15 x 60 (diptych)
$2100
Becky captures the breathtaking beauty of the world in her distinct and vibrant style. She sees each painting as an opportunity to form a joyful and grateful response in colour and motion to what she has had the privilege to experience.

ANDREA ROBERTS
Halfmoon Bay Earrings
Sterling Silver, 18kt. Yellow Gold, Aquamarine drops (Brazil) 0.8″ drop
$980
My aim is to create a story with each of my designs to spark a conversation that mirrors a personal experience, family story, memory or inspiration that lies embedded in my jewelry. I am intrigued by coloured, interesting gems placed in juxtaposition to a carefully chosen texture combined with a design application like foldforming that complete an original design. My inspirations often come from my travels, nature and art that have influenced me throughout a design finding process. – Andrea Roberts
Aqua Ring
Sterling Silver, 18kt. Yellow Gold, Aquamarine (trillion cut) Size 7.75
$760

MARY-JEAN BUTLER
Summer Day, Fisgard Lighthouse
Oil on canvas 30 x 60
$5400
Last summer I spent time exploring the area around Fort Rodd Hill. On this particular day I was struck by the soft golden light cast on the beach and grasses in the foreground. The lighthouse stood as a beacon with its bold red tones illuminated against the soft palette. – Mary-Jean Butler
Standing Tall
Oil on canvas 36 x 24
$2800
Mary-Jean’s 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.

SHINAH LEE
Somewhere in the Memory
Oil on canvas 30 x 80 (diptych)
$4100
Shinah begins her work on the floor, using washes of pigment as a backdrop. Then she rotates her canvas on the wall until she is satisfied with its composition and vitality. As a final touch, she adds colours in very fast and instinctive gestures. Shinah’s paintings 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.
Waving Star I
Oil on canvas 30 x 30
$1725
Shinah’s natural talent for colour, texture and composition is palpable in her abstracted, botanical canvases.
