Exhibiting Artists
Sarah Lovell
I'm a British illustrator, living here in Port Moody. I am inspired by nature, wildlife and magical things, and get many ideas for illustrations, characters and stories from walking in the forest. I have loved to draw and paint for as long as I can remember.
Art has always been a part of my life, from studying it to degree level, to having regular local exhibitions, and now for illustrating children's books. A day does not feel quite complete if I haven't picked up a pencil or paint brush. I love to get lost in the worlds I can create on a piece of paper or canvas.
All of the paintings you see exhibited here are original artworks, painted using a mixture of paint, colored pencils and pastels. I hope you enjoy having a look around. If you would like to buy any of the artwork exhibited, please contact me through my social media links.
Silvana Kane
Born in Lima, Peru, Silvana has travelled and toured extensively throughout the world with her band Pacifika. Music, art, and cultural explorations have been the foundations of her life and Mother Nature her greatest inspiration. Her paintings are expressions of her love for the natural world and created in celebration of its beauty. Silvana is based out of Port Moody and works in her little 'casita' in the woods.
"I have been creating, drawing, dancing and making music all my life, and think that the way we do one thing is the way we do all things. I like to feel unrestrained so I paint directly on the canvas and often use my fingers, dipping them into bright colours to create layers and texture. I turn the canvas in many different directions to allow the piece to express itself. I use gold and silver and bold fluorescent colours and add textures to allow the painting to change with light and to elicit a feeling of wellbeing. I often work the canvas with cloths and textiles and improvise along the way. I approach painting the way I do movement and music, with fluidity and a great sense of joy."
