LUCY GODWIN is an international contemporary artist whose artwork has been described as "when Basquiat meet Pollock" through her use of vigorous gestural markings, text, and high resolution colours in a Neo-Expressionist style.

Lucy embraces the urgency of acrylics and the flexibility of mixed media as her process is often alla prima. Her paintings are transmitted through a resolution of intuitive consciousness and stimulation from mass media. She strives to achieve a trans-cultural visual language, thus Lucy’s work often contains encryptions and symbols as comments on societal inequalities. 

The Saatchi Gallery commented on Lucy Godwin's work via email:

"I am contacting you on behalf of the Saatchi Gallery here in London. Whilst searching the web I came upon your web site and was impressed by the high standard of work."

I think that all creative endeavours are essentially autobiographical, reflecting the greater curiosities and preoccupations, as well as the small, seemingly insignificant attributes of the individual. And, I find that often these small (and constant) signifiers are most revealing. My works shift in scale, medium, or principal concerns, but these attributes trace throughout: a predilection for broad, open space, colour, tone and form; rhythm and relationship, movement, transition, sound, growth, subtlety and balance; notation, tracery and repetition.

Developed as abstract notations, my works "play" with these attributes; and offer the space for some to recede, for some to come to the fore, but, ultimately, for all to remain constant.

I was born in Montreal, Quebec and have lived in five Canadian cities, but Vancouver, British Columbia is home.

As a visual artist I sample a variety of disciplines to amass information for my work that is about both the physicality and subtleties of being in geographical place. My practice consists of several media interpretations in which I collect and mound together form and material in fleeting references to my memory and experience of landscape.

The things I look at inform the things I make. Follow my blogs and see what I see.

Concerned with the fluctuations between isolation and connection in our daily negotiations as human beings, Lilac Lang produces work that is both dark and girly. Born in Kelowna, BC, she has lived in the Okanagan, Edmonton, and the Lower Mainland. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of British Columbia and has shown at the Alternator Gallery and Sopa Fine Arts in Kelowna, Gallery Vertigo in Vernon, and 221A Artist Run Centre in Vancouver.

Carolyn Stockbridge is known for her expansive paintings that echo 1950’s
abstract expressionism. While her work is a clear nod to the past her paintings
ring adamantly of independence while addressing contemporary concerns in painting.
Influences include Frankenthaler, Guston, Gorky and Hockney to name a few.
Excelling in the arts from an early age, Carolyn acquired a sensibility for painting
and classical music that continues through her life today. Soon after arriving in
Canada from England she received an entrance scholarship in 1982 to study at
the Emily Carr School of Art & Design.  After painting under her own volition for
years after, she moved to NYC to pursue concentrated studies at The Art Students
League. There, she studied under painter Catherine Redmond, and became associated
with painter Henrietta Mantooth, both women, alongside the teachings from the NYC
School of Abstract Expressionism were important influences in Carolyn’s development
as a young painter. Collaborations with fellow artists were initiated in NYC and projects
continued to Los Angeles with filmmaker Nina Rota and photographer Julia Brandreth
Stockbridge soon became known as the composer for films by Rota and Sorella Productions
whose independent films continue to be received worldwide. Carolyn lives in Vancouver
and shows in Canada and the USA.

Russell Leng is an artist.

Vancouver born artist Karin Vengshoel left a near decade career in fashion design and merchandising to pursue her first love, painting.

Over the last several years Karin has created a large collection of paintings, many of which can be found in private and commercial collections across BC.

The foundation of her work lies in the consistently strong process-based element, where she employs repetitive, obsessive techniques to create oil and mixed media paintings on wood and canvas heavily laden with expressive brush strokes.

Currently her passion for painting has found her integrating arts and science.

Karin’s interest in astronomy and cosmology has had a deep impact on the direction of her work. Each new piece created is a testimony to the awe-inspiring magnitude of the universe and the increasing ability of humanity to see and understand it.

Our purpose is to create a favourable space for artists & designers to share, build, and understand the values of their practice. The major activities of our organization is operation of the gallery, management of the shared studios, and coordination of community programming.
