About The Artist
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Jared Loewen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan into a large family of seven. From a young age, he was always drawn to serenity provided from drawing cartoon characters in imaginary worlds. As a teenager, Jared spent most of his free time honing his skills as a cartoonist, realistic pencil artist, and eventually painter. Originally, he desired to be a hand-drawn classical animator for film and television. When computer animation began to increase in popularity, however, Jared steered his plans into a more desirable and traditional route. He enrolled at UBCO and majored in history with a minor in mathematics. Elements of Jared’s post-secondary education are seen in his work today. His appreciation for history, for example, is hidden in the conceptual meaning of his works, while math is seen more evidently in his use line, shape, and order. Jared went on to become an elementary school teacher which he continues to this day.
On this series of hard-edge paintings: "Each painting is a physical representation of the ether in which everything resides and from which all forms come into existence, the Soul ingredients of the universe."
Jared is a self-proclaimed lifelong learner and has always been drawn to the elemental aspects of life - it’s origins, meaning, and destiny. His current body of work breaks down the human form into the fundamental expressions of line and shape. He uses these basic elemental forms to build, express, and contemplate the interplay between form and formlessness, the fabric of consciousness, and the origins of the human story. Today you can find his contemporary original works at The Lloyd Gallery in Penticton, BC.

About The Artist
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Artist Statement – Tannis Seufert
Art is a portal—an invitation to move beyond the thinking mind into a dreamscape of imagination and energetic receptivity. In my work, I create immersive spaces that allow the viewer to steep in their own waking dream, awakening memories, emotions, and inner worlds often left unexplored. These are not imagined places; they are living, breathing dimensions within us—frequencies that I intentionally transmit through my art.
Each piece is born from the energy of the present moment. I do not work within a fixed aesthetic or traditional structure; instead, I listen to what timeline or story wishes to emerge through me that day. My collections are built on the evolution of frequency rather than a repetition of form, colour, or trend. My practice invites viewers to connect with themselves as pure energy, and to interpret their relationship with their environment from that place.
Every artwork begins with a handcrafted wooden canvas, built in my woodshop using both local and exotic hardwoods. I plane, square, clamp, grind and sand each frame to bring out the grain of the hardwood. Often times, the colour of the hardwood can inspire the undertone of the entire piece. The most central part of the design process for the 3D pieces is the cavity I cut out of the surface of the Birch. It defines the design. I work with resin—a medium that is glassy, reflective, and rich in colour encryption. Resin has an aliveness and a movement to it and a chemistry hidden in its nature. Once you unlock the magic of this special medium, there is no limit. Hand-selected crystals and minerals are incorporated into some pieces that either float within the surface or emerge in three-dimensional detail. LED lighting is often incorporated to amplify the interaction of light, colour, and crystalline structure.
An extension of this practice, The Living Urn Sanctuary (est. 2018), is a deeply personal, commemorative body of work that incorporates cremation ashes into resin art. I have worked extensively with the texture of ashes exploring new ways to express it through my work. Ash is the purest representation of energy transformation. This work transforms grief into reverence—a reflection of love, life, and the sacred continuity of energy.
Bio – Tannis Seufert
Tannis Seufert is a full-time artist based in the Pacific Northwest of Kitimat, British Columbia, where the quiet rhythm of the North deeply informs her work. Her textured, living landscapes and energetic compositions speak to the sacred relationship between the natural world and the human spirit.
Tannis studied Fine Arts at Whitecliffe College of Arts & Design in Auckland, New Zealand, and earned a diploma in Fashion and Textile Design from Fraser Valley University in British Columbia. She spent over two decades in the fashion industry across New Zealand, Australia, and Canada before transitioning fully to studio art. A lifelong multimedia artist, Tannis has explored photography, silversmithing, screen printing, and furniture restoration, but it was through resin that her practice fully blossomed.
Her artistic foundation is also deeply influenced by 15+ years of study in multi-dimensional quantum physics and holistic healing modalities. Her creative process is an act of listening, remembering, and transmitting—an embodiment of the evolving human experience.
Tannis has completed numerous private commissions throughout Canada, the USA, and the South Pacific. Her work has been exhibited at the Kitimat Museum & Art Gallery (2022), Art Vancouver (2024), and George Gallery in Vancouver (2024).

About The Artist
Jane observing Jane…
For Jane, art in all its various forms, has been intrinsic in her approach to all aspects of life. The ability to perceive objects as the end point of some form of creative process inspired a lifetime of artistic endeavours. Although the traditional canvas is a dominant medium for Jane to relay an interpretation of what we all inhabit, Jane also uses other physical mediums to express and create beauty. Whether it is her extensive work in computer graphics, interior design, or garden design, producing an outcome that gives people pause greatly inspires Jane to find different depths to her art.
Although Jane’s art genre is dominant in all forms of abstract, there is a gravitation towards a form of geometric abstraction. The dominant use of shapes can be found in many of her pieces. This could be a reflection or remnant of her upbringing in London, England and the exposure to period buildings and artworks.
Environments: Contemporary, traditional, or something in-between.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Julia Veenstra is a Canadian artist whose work is found in collections around the world. Julia has lived in four different countries, and brings the influences of each to her impressionistic representational, and lively style. Her work reflects the joy she sees in her surroundings, and so her medium of choice is acrylic as she enjoys the immediacy and the bright colours.
In the past few years, Julia’s work has highlighted her native Canada’s vivid landscapes, leading to nationwide recognition. Most days you can find Julia in her studio, a converted garage, at her home on Beach Boulevard in Hamilton.
Artist Statement
There is a moment in time that when remembered gives comfort or reassurance. A smell can transport one back into a deep memory and stir up emotions of all kinds.
I am attracted to those moments that create comfort, those scents that cause a rush of deep memories. As a child (a creative one) who was raised by a single mom on welfare, there were so many dreams of home and a longing for security. On walks through other neighbourhoods I would be dreaming of the whole families that must live inside. These walks are some of my first memories of observing the world around me. Over time, this defined the moments that held rich and satisfying experiences real or imagined.
As an artist I love to translate those special moments. Moments that will transport me to an understanding of wholeness and peace. Whether it is how the light hits the trees and the shapes of the shadows stretching long on the fields or the manmade shapes of homes erected for a purpose of housing loved ones. My work reflects, consciously or not, a connection with ones past or a time of security. Wholeness is explored not by tradition but by what fulfills.
I work with vibrant colour and expressive strokes, exploring shape and form as well as the constant desire to portray light. The works often develop their own life and the paint creates shapes and detail that I had not planned on but complete and round out the experience. The canvases I paint can be quite large and the result is the ability to experiment with a range of tools that create variety of texture and interest in the pieces and can pull from me an energy and joy. Negative shape plays a role as important as the positive and develops from the layering technique that I employ.
Home is different to every person. But we all have connecting experiences that cause us to collectively remember and feel safe. We reflect a creation of beauty and of seasons that continuously march on. I hope to reflect in my work moments that cause a stirring in a person’s heart. Moments that were noticed and stored.
