Andrea Bird
I am passionate about healing through art, and the emotions we can access safely through the journey of creating. My art is generally abstract and impressionist in nature, and I seek to make it sustainable through the use of reclaimed materials, found canvas, and wild-foraged dyes and washes. This is an important aspect of my work but not always practical, and so I have a mixture of mediums I employ.
Kyla Lewis
Always a spinner, she took the down time during covid to learn how to do narrow band weaving, and later that same year she also leaned the ancient art of Språng, which is one of the earliest known forms of textiles. She began working with clay during covid as well and that has blossomed into a full blown passion for pottery. Kyla is now a full time artist, works as the pottery technician at the Prince Albert Art Centre and will be opening Rose Hound Studios later this year.
Ulrike Graner
I was born in Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1995 together with my husband. We started farming (and a family) in 1998. Art had always interested me, be it visiting museums with my parents or looking at their art books. However, being quite critical, I never felt confident to see my own art dabbling as successful. I took an art class with George Glenn while pregnant with my 3rd child and loved it, but it was still not something I could pursue at that time.
In 2017, I found a pastel teacher on Patreon, Karen Margulis. I also had more time in my life, and since then never stopped painting.
Pamela Hird
My journey into the art world began as a personal exploration of how to regain productivity after a change in health.
What started as a search for something fulfilling quickly became a profound passion that renewed my sense of purpose.
As a self-taught artist born and raised in Prince Albert, I specialize in textured art, but I also enjoy working with acrylic paints and exploring new mediums.
I love creating pieces rich in depth and character and that add beauty to the world.
I am now a full-time artist, and I am quite happy to be fully immersed in the art community, continuously learning, growing, and embracing both the online and in-person aspects of the creative world.
