“I had no intention of becoming an artist. There was no childhood dream, no revelationary moment, no intuitive flash, and no channeling of Emily Carr. It was more that the specter of art-making appeared before me as an inflatable raft to a drowning woman and I hauled myself onto it as a way to save my life. I needed to see myself and know myself. Not surprisingly, I am virtually self-taught.”
Sheila Norgate excerpt from artist statement.
Sheila is responsible for sending me down the content management system road, when she contacted me last year to design a custom site her one mandate was that she had to be able to manage it herself. Kismet: I had been toying with the idea myself but had not found the time for development so thanks to Sheila for getting me started. Click here to visit Sheila’s site.
Dale’s paintings depict landscape and sky in terms of colour, atmosphere and light. While they do allude to photographic imagery, their soft minimalist qualities embrace impressionism and abstraction.
Dale’s site is a slightly altered version of Artbiz#1 template. What’s different is that we added and archive page that goes back 8 years. The archive album is a feature of Next Generation Gallery and is included in every template. Click here to visit site.
Jan Boydol is Calgary based photographer, multimedia artist, writer whose passion for visual imagery, story and travel has taken her to many exotic parts of the world.
Jan is an extremely busy person working in the oil industry as well as an instructor in Creative Journal Expressive Arts, marketing representative for Joe Englander Photography Workshops & Tours and Manager of Gallery of Photographic Arts, Canada; obviously she does not have the time to manage her own site which lead us to designing a flash based site that I will manage for her.
