Canadian painter Meghan Hildebrand was grown in the Yukon, and went on to study art in Nelson BC, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Over the past 10 years, Meghan’s work has changed from simple and squarely structural to what could be described as landscape-exploded.  Local scenery becomes the stage where her personal symbols have come to mingle and converse.  Animal ghosts happily inhabit our ruins.  Trees take root below basements, offering cities to the sky.

Meghan likes to work on multiple canvases, often replacing brushstrokes with collage, representing fragments of time and space. The acrylic & collage underpainting is finished with oil glazes.  Her sunny Powell River studio is a tornado of paper scraps, paint, tools, books, sewing and music.  Paradise.

Luther Pokrant was born in 1947 in Rosenfeld, Manitoba. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Manitoba School of Art and his Master of Arts degree from New Mexico State University. He is a past lecturer at the University of Regina. An active member of the Manitoba Society of Artists, he is also a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

These include shows at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, the Manitoba Society of Artists, the Moose Jaw Art Museum, and the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba.

An avid fisherman and canoeist, much of his painting is inspired by the natural beauty of the Manitoba and Ontario lake country. Water reflection and water lilies offer are an endless source of inspiration for painting compositions. His illustration work is often thematic or historical in nature. Great Canadian artists of the past and their iconic works have been favoured subjects for his commissioned and non-commissioned illustrations.
