Valerie
Biebuyck Art Photography
Valerie
began taking photographs at the age of six when she was given a Brownie Box
camera for her birthday. She now uses digital SLR cameras, further processes
her photographs on her PC and has them printed on fine art paper or canvas. Her
formal and informal training and experience was in the fine arts and many of
her images intentionally look more like paintings than photographs and express
her deep spirituality. Her subjects cross the geographical boundaries of
Africa, Europe and North America where she has lived, travelled and worked. She
immigrated to Canada in 2007 and lives with her husband and two rescued border
collies in New Brunswick on Darlings Island on the banks of the Kennebecasis
River. Since arriving in Canada, she has been inspired by the art photography
of Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant. Photographs taken in Saint John and
along the Saint John and Kennebecasis Rivers were displayed at her first solo
Canadian exhibition at the Hooper Studios Art Gallery in October and November
2009. In June 2010 her studio, in a recently renovated barn, was featured on
the Kings County Studio Tour. She is scheduled to exhibit at The Saint
John Arts Centre in August through October 2011. She attended the inauguration
of ArtLink NB at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in September 2009 and became one
of the first members to join. She is also a member of The Saint John Arts
Centre, The Beaverbrook Art Gallery and The Word Guild of Canada.

Heather Rice
Abstract Works
I've been
painting and sketching since I was very young. I remember taking art class very
seriously in highschool. It wasn't until I moved to Portland, Maine to finish
my undergrad that I started to take on painting as more of a serious hobby. I
paint with acrylic on canvas, abstract pieces using bright colors. I believe in
the power of paint as a reflection of your mood and an expression of situations
in your life. This is how I paint, I use feelings and music to really bring
creativity out of me. Every piece I paint I can look back at and think about
exactly how I felt at that time. Now living in Saint John, New Brunswick I hope
to remain loyal to my love of canvas and continue to create pieces that truly
are a reflection of who I am as an artist.

Sarah
Gautreau Original Works
Sarah
Gautreau is a Saint John native, and a full time registered nurse and part time
artist. During her days off, she enjoys spending time with arts and crafts.
Whether it's wood burning, jewelry making or gardening she has taken a profound
interest in creating art. Sarah has been sketching for 15 years and has
recently been experimenting with different mediums such as oil/acrylic paint,
charcoal, and pastels. Everything she has done in her 26 years of life has been
self taught, although her pieces are notably amateur, she is proud of what she
has accomplished and has the greatest hope that one day will create wonderful
pieces. Having no formal training or art classes, Sarah hopes to enroll someday
to expand my knowledge and skill level.

Krista
Hasson Original Works
I am a full
time artist who was born and raised in Saint John New Brunswick, who loves
using realism along with strong, rich color to portray the things I am
passionate about. My inspiration mostly comes from nature, one of my favourite
subjects being flowers, but I can often be inspired by things found in my
everyday surroundings. I was recently published in the April/May 2010 issue of
the International Artist magazine as a finalist for their International Flower
and Garden Competition. My interest and talent for art was
evident early on, as a child I loved to draw and paint, spending hours
creating. I enjoy working with various mediums but work primarily in
watercolour and soft pastel. It is my hope that when viewing my work you will
find as much joy as I did while creating it. To view more of my work or to see
upcoming shows visit http://www.kristahasson.com
