Sheri Bakes
Sheri Bakes received a BFA from the Emily Carr University in 1998 and began exhibiting with the Bau-Xi Gallery in 2002. The base of her work is Rewach: spirit, breath or wind. From this base, many layers are built within a context of Canadian landscape. Kevin Chong wrote for the Globe and Mail, "Her brooding wind-swept scenes highlight tensions not only between the sky and land, but also between the physical landscape and the world of the mind." Sheri Bakes exhibits with the Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver and Toronto, in the Foster/White Gallery in Seattle, and at the Cella Gallery in Los Angeles. Her work is represented in collections across North America and in Europe, and is held in collections including Toronto Dominion Bank, Emaar Properties, Dubai, UAE, Enuciate Conferencing, Vancouver General Hospital and St. Paul’s Hospital.

Lisa Birke
resides in Vancouver BC
Lisa Birke is a practicing artist working primarily in painting, drawing, and sculptural installation. Since graduating from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (BFA 1999), Lisa has had public and commercial solo exhibitions in Canada, the US, and the Netherlands. Using black humour as a backdrop, her work is an eclectic mix of mass media, pop culture, and kitsch imagery. It references art history and makes social observations about consumerism, human impact on the environment, biological manipulation, social stereotyping, and loss of identity in the modern world. Lisa has been an arts educator for seven years and has given numerous lectures on her work, travels and creative process. Her work is exhibited in the Bau-Xi Galleries in Vancouver and Toronto, and the View Art Gallery in Victoria BC.

Lori-ann Latremouille
born in Vancouver BC - resides in Vancouver BC
Lori-ann Latremouille creates her captivating images by letting her mind flow freely without inhibition or preconceived ideas. She is self-taught and developed her stunning technique and visual philosophy outside of any institutional influences. Latremouille's work is not easily categorized. There is a quality that echoes the native totem artifacts that stand not far from her home, the way her figures magically morph into each other. Some viewers see more contemporary influences like M.C. Escher, Pablo Picasso, or Henri Rousseau. "It comes from the world of the fantastic and the alluring" says Art Perry, critic for Vancouver's The Province. "It's all unreal but totally believable." She is also an accomplished poet and singer songwriter which explains the musical imagery often seen in her work. Over the past 20 years her work has been exhibited extensively in the US and Canada and hangs in many prominent private and public collections. She has also exhibited in Europe. Her work is found in BC, Alberta, Florida, Oregan, Switzerland and Washington.
