Hans Arnold: From the heart of Canada to the shores of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans, and extending across the globe, Han’s photographic work explores the fundamental elements of light, color, shape, and composition. These core principles, intertwined with modern digital technology, have led to the creation of my distinctive image collections. His aim is to merge realistic photography with digital enhancements, crafting a visionary style that offers fresh perspectives on reality. The resulting images resonate with a diverse audience, reflecting a blend of creativity and an impressionistic approach that aligns seamlessly with modern contemporary art trends.
Hans started his professional photography career in 1979 and now with an additional passion of having merged digital art with photography he inspires others to explore the new world of being technically creative with ones own camera style, mixing that with the latest digital art software and finishing the process by printing his own work. He is an international photography award winner and has been featured in some of Canada’s major photographic art exhibits in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. As a visualist he was inspired to publish two best seller coffee table books on images of the Canadian landscape and is actively involved in CAPA and NANPA, two of the largest photography associations in North America. His active role, in giving back what he has learned, is his motivation to explore the art of photography in new and skilful ways. This process has assisted in creating his unique style of picture taking and has taught him to become prolific and updated in the fast moving world of digital fine art. Hans’s current genre of photography is mainly outdoor imagery that includes landscapes, nature and wildlife. He is self-taught in wide format print technology and produces most of his own printed fine art décor. He currently teaches the art of seeing to young students throughout the province of Manitoba and continues to photograph what he calls a truly beautiful world.
Bonnie Hallman creates art a a true and direct expression of how she observes and connects to the world around her, finding words less easy to find, spoken or written even though she is a university professor of human geography and environmental studies. Her practice is profoundly shaped by academic training focusing on human-environment interactions and relationships, ‘the geographic imagination’ – in essence the ways individuals, and collectively societies, think about, value, and interpret the spaces and places of their lives. My art reflects my geographical imagination, relating that which moves me and connects me to my environment. Bonnie works intuitively and painterly to create figurative, still life, and landscape based works, painting in acrylics.
Gustavo Correa: The pieces have two clear streams: one is focused on sceneries and art inspired by Venezuela and Latinamerica. The other one is abstract and has a lot to do with feelings and introspection.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Gustavo is an artist who is strongly inclined into showing Latin America’s beauty. His inspiration are his roots, the beautiful Avila mountain view that kept him company through his youth and the vibrant colors that can only be seen in the Caribbean. Painting is the media he chooses to portray his muse, both figurative and abstract. Through his paintings, he passionately shows how he feels, looking to entertain and provoke a feeling of warmth and belonging to the viewer. Most of his paintings are done with acrylics and oil painting.

Currently, Tiffany Rozall‘s work explores identity, trauma, embodiment and existential dread through a series of self portraits on canvas and paper. Each piece deep dives into the tangled internal narrative of a woman, mother and daughter who just wants to be fucking honest and still be loved. Informed by an OCD/ADHD diagnosis, her nude self portraits are landmarks along a journey of devastating change, unrelenting exploration and unquenchable rage. These women are my mirror, my camera, my armour, my lit match.
Tiffany (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 2009 she graduated from The University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Fine Art with a major in Sculpture. Her work as a production designer, producer, writer, painter, director has been seen on stage and film.
Kelly Klassen‘s work explores my point of view of Sunday mornings. Using realism with Impressionism to demonstrate the feeling of the peaceful, calm and easygoing of Sundays. Her focus is on colour, perspective and harmony to tie the artwork together.
Kelly was raised in Altona Manitoba. She moved to Winnipeg in 2020 to experience something new. She began painting with at 15 as a self-taught artist. She uses oil paints, ink and charcoal. She focuses both on animal and nature paintings, experimenting with different type of styles such as realism, pointillism, Impressionism and expressionism. She seeks inspiration in everyday beauty and what brings me happiness. The sunlight peeking through the kitchen window, her flower garden with the never ending weeds, the smell of clean laundry, and the taste of homemade cookies. I try to find happiness and joy in my surroundings and encapsulate it in my art.
Anneli Epp: Anneli Epp is a self-taught digital photographic artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Applying the in camera function, colour sketch, she creates colourful and whimsical images. In 2022 one of her images Converging was chosen by CMU Press for a book cover. Anneli has a Master’s Degree in Theology (2000) focusing on feminist and liberation theology as paths towards an inclusive ‘rainbow’ society and is published in several publications.
Anneli Epp has a Masters degree in Theology. She was Co-Pastor of a congregation in Calgary, AB in the 1990’s. Moving to Winnipeg, where she grew up, in 2004 Anneli enrolled in Clinical Pastoral Education and became a Spiritual Care Specialist at Health Sciences Centre and a Chaplain to Veterans at Deer Lodge Centre. Anneli incorporated the arts (music, art, poetry, reminiscing, photography) into her work with clients.

Brandi Shabaga: As an earth scientist, climate researcher, and advocate, I began looking for a way to offset the carbon footprint of my art practice – collage was the answer, and the Collage Bird series was born. This collection incorporates recycled paper materials to create works of art that support sustainability principals, bring an element of the bird’s natural habitat into the piece, and draws attention to the intricacies of human-environment interactions.
Brandi is a contemporary mixed media artist and earth scientist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Her research has taken her across the globe – from the Canadian Arctic to the Gobi Desert – fueling her passion for adventure and supplying endless inspiration for her artwork. Growing up on the Prairies and spending summers exploring the Interlake Region of Manitoba, Shabaga developed a connection with nature at a young age. While her art practice is currently evolving, her connection with nature is a constant in her work. Working primarily in acrylic paint and gel mediums, she also enjoys experimenting with her art by incorporating elements of mono-printing and collage into her mixed media pieces.
In March of 2023, Brian Longfield photographed a polar bear encounter, he used two source photos of over 500. He was interested in their expressed emotions connecting the subjects, offering an opportunity to witness the social lives of the bears and their relationships.
Brian’s second series of trailcam paintings document similar to significant figures and historical subjects by studying the content and materials of artworks as a form of anthropology, by making a connection to the past. Animal portraits are time stamped by his trailcams, set up in various locations, showing where an animal was at a certain time in history. Actual statement will be posted at the exhibition as this is a brief summary.
Winnipeg Artist, Brian Longfield explores video art, installations, and paintings, performance and theater, and avante garde music. His paintings are made with photos and a data projector. His work incorporates an interest in biodiversity, ecology, science and empathy. He returned to painting in 2019 after focusing on video based work with the now-defunct collective, Viewing Method Group, and performance based work as part of the duo “6.” Brian holds a BFA from the U of Manitoba and an MFA from the University of Western Ontario. He has curated exhibitions at Frame Arts Warehouse and at his own former Gallery, Tumble Contemporary Art.
Drew Perry: Lake Winnipeg is continually inviting in its infinite variety through changing light and revolving seasons. As always, the camera supplements our vision by helping us to see what is there but not always perceived by the unassisted eye, and then capturing that new view to be appreciated again and again. I’ve learned to capture images that help me to explore nature in different manifestations and lighting conditions primarily for my own enjoyment and pleasure. I mostly shoot what I like and for myself. However, sharing those images with others is a bonus, and learning about what they might see that’s different from me is always helpful.
Drew Perry lives in Winnipeg. He loved watching his father develop black and white photos as a child, and was given his first good camera by his Dad before travelling to Europe in his late teens. The next good camera, and old film Exakta, was also from his father when children arrived on the scene, followed by B and W developing in his own darkroom. Many excellent cameras followed those early ones, with each one treasured for the new worlds they helped to open. Today, Drew mainly pursues landscapes, close-ups and street photos, apart from the continuing documentation of the life of his and Valerie’s children and grandchildren.
Jackie Linda Turnbull: Ever since I was a child nature, and animals have fascinated me. I had a slew of pets: dogs, gerbils, and birds. As a result, I am drawn to more natural themes in my art practice. Restful locales, small, furry animals and especially birds fascinate me and give me a feeling of peace and tranquility. I hope that they give my viewers the same peaceful feelings.
Jackie (JT) is a self-taught Winnipeg artist who has studied with Rachael Tycoles (Acrylic Painting) and other instructors at the WAG Studio, Heather Hinam, Ph.D. of McNally Robinson Classroom and Jordan Miller at Cre8ery. Current memberships include Creative Manitoba, Mentoring Art for Women’s Art (MAWA) and the WAG. Jackie paints in a mostly whimsical or impressionistic style and is particularly fond of natural subject matter: restful locales, birds, & small, furry animals are meaningful to her. She has enrolled in numerous classes with Heather Hinam from 2020 – 2024 related to drawing plants, birds, animals, and butterflies
James Thomson Since returning to Fine Art after 20 years of exploring and teaching Interactive Digital Media I have enjoyed the more contemplative and meditative nature of the processes of watercolour painting compared to the processes for creating a world for a video game. These images come from a delightful space of connection between artist, materials and imagery. The process includes thoughtful choices of materials, composition and colour as well as the, often accidental, results of working with wet-on-wet and spattered colour. My current works are inspired by the many images generated from the James Webb Space Telescope and other satellites. All the paintings are studies in order and chaos much like the universe we live in. This show is a continuation from the work in Dancing Skies. In this current collection, “Alien Telescope Archive”, I am imagining another life form viewing the universe, sharing in my sense of wonder.
James Thomson received his Bachelor of Environmental Studies (Architecture) in 1983 (U of Manitoba) and his Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from the University of Saskatchewan in 1985. Jim had a solo show in Wasagaming in 1989, and has participated in group shows including three Manitoba Society of Artists shows. While working in the graphic arts as an illustrator and production artist and later as a supplier. James became involved in computer graphics technology eventually an educational representative for many companies including Wacom, Adobe, Fractal Painter, and Hyperstudio. This led to a new career as a teacher of Interactive Digital Media at Kildonan-East High School. From 2001 to 2021, James taught students how to use technology as a form of storytelling, using art and code to produce animations, web sites, video games and VR experiences. Upon his retirement from teaching in June 2021, James returned to his traditional fine art roots with the exhibition “Infinite Horizons”, consisting of 30 watercolours connected by a whimsical narrative about Ravens, dogs, and a Gluttonous Moon,2023. James participated in a three person show “Dancing Skies” at Cre8ery in 2024 with his painting “Dancer in the Dark” appearing in the Winnipeg Free Press weekly promo “Top 5 Around Town” for that exhibition.

Monika Hansen generally works in oils, acrylics or watercolours and is a self taught artist. She finds inspiration to paint while traveling our prairie provinces or even walking in her home town. The subject matter varies but is focused on the Canadian landscape. Whether working on a canvas, fabric, illustrating children’s books, or using her images to make Art Cards, she enjoys having her work reach out and make a connection with people. Making a piece of art functional and useable is an added treat to her creations. The subject matter in her paintings captures glimpses of the diversity of the Canadian rural and urban landscapes. The paintings generally appear uncluttered and her love for simplicity is evident. She enjoys picking out the tiny details of a tree, or the delicate nature of the flowers found in the wild or in many backyards. Her paintings appear on canvas and lately on fabric as she explores different ways to functionally use her art. She is currently illustrating a series of Children’s books and was nominated in 2017 by Manitoba Book Awards in the children’s illustrated category for “Wilson, do you hear it?” Monika has displayed her art work at various gallery art shows at Cre8ery Gallery, Selkirk Art Centre and past Manitoba Art Expos. She is a member of the Assiniboia Group of Artists Co-operative, Selkirk Community Art Centre, and Cre8ery Gallery.
