Kathryn Mullaney
born in Alberta - resides in Fraser Valley BC
Kathryn Mullaney was raised in Alberta where she excelled in art throughout her early education. When she moved to British Columbia in 1973, the influence of the West Coast manifested itself in her paintings, which most often depict the natural beauty of the oceans, their shores, and the abundant wildlife. With original works eagerly sought by an increasing group of collectors, her paintings are on display in homes and offices around the world, including Canada, the United States, the Dominican Republic, Austria and Brazil. Her work has been displayed in the Fraser Valley, Vancouver, Victoria, B.C., Edmonton, Alberta, Yachats, Oregon, and both Seattle and Issaquah in Washington State.

Mary Fox
1959 in Fredericton, New Brunswick - resides in Ladysmith BC
Mary Fox moved with her family to British Columbia in 1966. She first encountered clay in grade 8 art class in 1973 in Victoria BC and knew very quickly this was to be her life’s work and pleasure. By age 19, Mary was a full time potter, creating both functional and purely decorative works. Within five years, she had expanded her repertoire from functional stoneware to include one-of-a-kind decorative vessels and sculpture. Mary has worked as a professional potter in Canada since 1979. Her innovative creations have established her reputation as a dedicated and exacting craftsperson in her field. Mary has a keen interest in developing original glaze effects for her pieces. She has worked extensively with raku and sagger firings, low-fire crawl glazes, porcelain and stoneware. She has exhibited all over the world, including Canada, Italy, the US and Australia.

Her artistic talents were recognized and nurtured during her childhood. In 1973, she and her family moved North on Vancouver Island to Courtenay, where she renewed her interest in art. In 1986, with the encouragement of her mentor, John Millhill, Deanna decided to pursue her art full-time. Her main interests are heritage and marine scenes which she executes in oils with meticulous detail and vivid colours. Deanna's work has found its way into collections throughout BC, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and into the USA as well as corporate collections. Several fishing magazines have featured her work on their covers and BC Telephone reproduced one of her paintings on the cover of their marine directory.

Elynne Chudnovsky
Elynne Chudnovsky received her art education from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pa. Using traditional tools and native hardwoods, Elynne's sculpture is a concrete expression of the delight and awe familiar to those who spend time among horses. "I've chosen wood to be my primary medium because, much like a horse, it has an intrinsic beauty and a character of its own. Although the beauty of wood may be somewhat hidden while in its rough state, I know that with patience and attentiveness to the qualities of each piece of wood I select, that same rough wood will emerge as an equal partner in the creation of something beautiful and unique."
