Ken is a self-taught artist. He depicts life on the reserve as he remembers it as a boy. In many of his scenes a small boy can be seen tagging along with elders as they embark on a hunting or fishing expedition; fetching water or cutting down a fir tree. These are images that are most real and deeply engrained in Ken‘s life-style and native ancestry. Each work portray memories of warmth, color and action. Frequent trips to the Whitebear reserve replenish his imagination and motivation to capture the realities of life of the native people. Ken's work can be found in private collection across Canad, USA and Europe.
Her love for for her family of cats is aptly depicted in her realistic renderings of some of their favourite poses. She is able to depict every line, color and nuance of her subject matter by skillfully combining pastels, charcoal and coloured pencils to bring them to life. About her work, Brenda states, “My Cats bring a smile to my face and a peaceful feeling to my soul. I like to think the images I create will bring some of what I feel into other’s homes and lives.” Brenda’s works are in private collections across North America and Europe.
Dorothy’s watercolours evoke the atmosphere and warmth of the Victorian era. Her still lifes, mainly comprised of old china, silver, lace and jewelry are rendered with such skill and intimacy that each object in some degree has a personality—a beauty of form, a quality of color and texture, a way of taking the light. Charming in their style, the mood of her paintings is both gentle and authentic. The late Miss Phillip’s work can be found in private collections across Canada, U.S.A. and Europe.
