KATHIE
BIRD
Born and raised in Prince Albert, I am fascinated with the complexities of people, awed by nature, and very aware of the energies of my experiences. Painting since childhood, it is what I speak about with my art: reflections of a rich myriad of moments. Working primarily in acrylic, I also enjoy playing with other mediums and new techniques.
PATTI CANNON-LEVESQUE
A background in biology combines with a lifelong passion for art to impart a unique perspective in Patti’s work. Patti finds beauty and inspiration in the grand and the minute. Her art is informed by an ongoing interest in our relationship with the natural world. Patti feels privileged to live and work in Saskatchewan.

Patti works primarily in glass mosaic.

KIM MORRALL
I live in Prince Albert with my husband John and my four children. Ten years ago, I decided to take my art to the next level and start working more seriously to become a professional level artist. I learn from experience and experimentation. I work mainly with acrylics, but experiment with many different mediums. My inspiration comes from many different places - nature, my dreams, literature, politics, religion, life. I aspire to create imaginative, textured pieces that bring the viewer a little closer and feeds their minds with conversation.
MARCEL ST. AMAND
Marcel has a fond connection with nature specifically wood and stone. He believes there are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Marcel uncovers the beauty of raw stone through shaping , polishing and featuring each in hand crafted wire wrapping. If rock is not your forte then Marcel also recaptures a new spirit through his hand carved wood pieces.
LORNA BORYSKI
A lifelong love of any and everything ‘artsy’ led Lorna to finally begin studying fine arts in 2017. She had always had the desire, but also had the suspicion that once she started, it would become an obsession that would consume much of her already busy life. She was not wrong, and continues to surprise herself about what is possible.
Inspired by an endless number of mediums and subjects, Lorna is still discovering her niche in the vast means of interpret, capture and display. She is enjoying the journey to its fullest!!
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.
