Lundy Dale
Hand painted tile & mosaics
Lundy was born, raised and lived most of her life in Vancouver. Both her parents were artists so it seemed only natural that she would follow in their footsteps. During her art career, she dabbled in all the mediums: sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, painting and finally textiles. She loved working with textiles, but could never achieve the results she was seeking. Her true inspiration came to fruition with her visits to Mexico and in northern Italy. That is when she realized that tile and mosaics were to be her medium of choice. The colour and flavour of these countries can be seen in many of her pieces.
Sandrine Pelissier
Artist
Born in France, Sandrine has been living in Vancouver for the past 10 years. She works with watercolours, acrylics, crayons and pastels, sometimes independently and sometimes in a mixed media approach. Her subjects are landscapes, still life and portraits. She is an award winning artist and has been an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists since 2002. She has exhibited at many juried exhibitions at the Federation of Canadian Artists Gallery as well as in group and solo exhibitions in numerous cities in both Canada and the United States.
Donna DAquino
Artist
Originally from the Prairies Donna moved to Delta over 20 years ago and the local ocean and wildlife became her inspiration. In 1998 Donna became interested in pen and ink drawing and today she often incorporates several mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, pen and ink and pencil crayons into her work. She is a member of the Delta Artist's Guild and often shows her art in the Longhouse Art Gallery in Delta and from May through September at the Lac Le Jeune Lodge in B.C.
