Elizabeth Ranger (b. 1984), uses watercolour, gouache and pencil to create intricate, surreal paintings that explore ideas of fluidity, mortality and the spirit.  Coming from a place of femininity but also post-gender queerness, and inspired by the symbolists and turn of the century illustrators, she uses abstractions, fantastical elements, organic textures, and vibrant colours to bring her works to life.  Born in Ottawa and trained in Montreal, she currently lives in Halifax with her two young kids and two old cats.

“Returning" is a painting about our connection to the natural world. About our stardust body, about loss of ego and reintegration.  A piece meant to inspire and comfort, to remind that death is fruitful as life, that we borrow everything we are and experience, and that one day we will be returned (to the cosmic library, perhaps).

Terri is a Saskatchewan-born painter, illustrator, and animator who works with themes of memory, childhood, and humour. In her paintings, Terri nurses a love for the expansive prairie landscape, combining elements inspired by folk art and her family’s generational quilting past- time to create a series of painted patchwork landscape fantasies.

« At Home In The Hay » is Terri’s reaction to memories of her husband’s family farmhouse, now abandoned, and sitting hours away from pretty much anywhere. Visits to the house (which has now been taken over by racoons) are always bittersweet and lonely feeling, but also full of warm and interesting stories of events that took place ther

Hive Mind, acrylic on canvas, 20”x24”, 2019
We are instinct-driven beings, repressing parts of ourselves to fit our busy modern life roles. When dreaming, our minds are allowed to explore these instincts, in ways that are sometimes scary, exciting, pleasurable, or nightmarish. This painting is part of her "Dream-bodies" series, a collection of paintings that examine the connection between our unconscious selves and the natural world. "Hive Mind" is a glimpse of the artist's creative center, and the buzzing, squirming ideas within.
