Robert Genn is one of Canada’s most accomplished painters, having gained international recognition for his genre subjects on Canada’s West Coast.  He has painted landscapes throughout Canada, the United States, Central America, Europe and Asia.  Born in Victoria, British Columbia in 1936, he attended Victoria College, University of British Columbia and later the Art Centre School in Los Angeles, California.

Genn carries on the tradition of the Canadian Landscape with fresh, crisp, painterly techniques and strong compositions.  He especially exhibits his own brand of landscape painting by reducing grand themes to small panels painted in the wilderness he loves.

Thick paint, rich colour, strong rhythms and patterns define Mandy Budan’s love affair with fine art. An award-winning professional painter, Mandy Budan has paintings in collections around the world. Mandy Budan travels around the beautiful Canadian countryside seeking out those perfect moments where light, colour and the landscape collide. Photos, sketches and memory come together in the studio as she strives to recapture that moment in a contemporary, abstract way.

Mandy Budan Artist Statement: I paint abstracts of the landscape, emphasizing and rearranging the elements to show the beauty of the landscape in unexpected ways. Inspired by nature, I use strong colour, discrete shapes and rhythmic patterns to create my abstract landscape paintings which can be enjoyed for both their abstract and realistic qualities.
