Dwayne Schweitzer
Dwayne Schweitzer is a digital artist, meaning that all of
his creations are done via a computer. He first started out
with a friend giving him an early version of Photoshop. He
started out doing photo manipulations and he has never
looked back. He now calls Camrose home. He has been
creating his art for about seven years now. He has been a
member to the Battle River Art Club and is currently a
member of the Mirror Lake Art Club.
The various pieces that he has made have ranged from
animal portraits to landscapes pieces. He really is not set
in one genre. Experimentation in the arts is endless and
the possibilities are only limited to only ones imagination.

Jim Brager
One of the reasons I paint landscapes is to stay connect
with the outdoors. I grew up in the country and the
country is in my blood. My camera is part of my tools as
I collect ideas and with thumbnail sketches I plan
composition and value arrangements.
I am primarily a studio painter as I find it is essential to
be in control of the drying process. I try to keep in mind
three primary objectives in my painting. Simplicity,
dominance and contrasts, for me it is important to
simplify shapes and not be concerned with detail within
the shapes in the early stages of the painting. I ignore
what doesn’t contribute to the picture and I emphasize
what does. Secondly I keep in mind a dominance of
shapes for size and value. Thirdly I like to contrast the
elements of design such as color temperature, e.g. warm
and cool within each shape, contrasting value such as
light against darks, contrasts of hard and soft edges.
Finally contrast of intense color with muted colors. Too
many colors tend to cancel each other out.

The western Canadian landscape remains my subject of
choice and while I enjoy painting locations from my
travels abroad and elsewhere, I inevitably
returned to my prairie roots for my inspiration.
To be an artist you have to be prepared to be
a student all your life.

Diane McLaren
I have been involved in various forms of art my whole life
so I’ve taken numerous art workshops over the years. My
minor in University was art and I have attended six
Summer Series one week Courses at Red Deer College.
For the last 3 years I’ve been learning sculpture from
Sharon Moore Foster, a fabulous professional sculpture
from the St. Albert area. I started out my adventures in
clay about 20 years ago when I began working in
ceramics. Ceramics taught me so much about glazes and
finishing techniques. Then I moved into hand building
and throwing functional pottery on the wheel because I
want to create my own objects to paint on. I still have
fun with hand building and occasionally teaching clay
classes for the Chuck MacLean Art’s Centre but figure
sculpting is really my passion. It is exhilarating to watch
a block of clay take on life and movement as the figure
emerges. Sculpting has given me an appreciation for the
beauty which can be found in all body shapes and types.
I create my sculptures using three different cone six
clays. Then I fire them and finish with a variety of
mediums. I’m interested in connecting with other
sculptors in the Camrose area. Check out my website at
artnaturescapes.weebly.com to view more samples of my
work.

Rita Sherman
I live in My name is Rita Sherman, and I’m very excited about
trying a new venture. As an MS patient, every day is an adventure and carrying my camera with me is routine. It
is part of me, the best therapy in the world, and good
incentive to keep trying to improve myself. I’ve been privileged to have been a part of the Camrose Art Walk
for three consecutive years. I have worked at the
Farmer’s Market in the Mall for two years and was part of their Camera Club until my elderly parents (back in B.C.),
needed too much of my time for me to stay committed to a membership. I’ve had one of my pieces showcased at the “Art Box” Gallery in Calgary, where it sold. Mostly, I
just love what I see through the view-finder, which I’ve only been doing for four years now. I had a different
career before that, (piano-teaching), but sometimes we
get sent down a different path due to circumstances beyond our control, so down the path we roll, enjoying
the trip as we go.
I live in Gwynne, Alberta and you can find some of my
photo-collection on flickr.com. Once you’re on the web-
site, go to ritaspics2 and that is where I’ll be. I was also
invited to post on the “Northern California” web-site,
which I do from time to time.

Celestine (Sally ) McIntyre
I have always had a passion design and colour so
drawing and painting drew me to take some classes
during my training at the University of
Saskatchewan. I worked on pieces from time to
time throughout my teaching career but began to
do a lot more once I retired. I have taken many
workshops over the years and experimented with
many different media. There always seems to be
something new to learn and enjoy. My most recent
work is done in pastel and features mainly trees in
the landscape. I work in a somewhat stylized
manner which I find very enjoyable and rewarding.
I love the colour possibilities using pastel and find
working on black paper produces a striking contrast
in my subject .
