Ernestine Tahedl

Ernestine Tahedl was born and educated in Austria and received a Master's Degree in graphic art from the Vienna Academy of Applied Arts.  Following graduation in 1961, she collaborated with her father, Professor Heinrich Tahedl, in the design and execution of stained glass commissions until she immigrated to Canada in 1963.  Her studio is currently located in King City, Ontario. 

Klyment Tan

Klyment Tan is an artist, photographer and motion picture camera operator who also works as an imaging consultant, specializing in technically challenging projects. He graduated from the University of Alberta, and is based in Edmonton, although his highly regarded commercial work takes him around the world. His creative practice combines his interests in aesthetics, technologies and processes. Some of his recent projects include Cloud Buildings – Urban Landscape, light-boxes that explore the symbiotic coexistence of natural and man-made environments, and Quasiparticle Interferometer, a set of images riffing on quantum experimentation, with two-dimensional "particles" interacting with their framing materials. 

Jill Thomson

Jill Thomson's artwork evokes her personal history of a small town/prairie childhood, an urban Montreal young adulthood and a settled life as artist and mother of three in Edmonton. Her rich colourful palette and complex compositions celebrate a creative life in cities with generous front porches, cafes, bookstores, bicycle paths, gardens and ravines. She received her BFA from Concordia University in Montreal. She is represented by Gibson Fine Art in Calgary and AGA Art Rental and Sales in Edmonton. Thomson’s neighbourhood painting for Premier Rachel Notley depicts the Legislature from a Strathcona neighbourhood perspective, and hangs in the Premier’s Office in the Alberta Legislature. Nine of her paintings are featured in a permanent alleyway mural for the Alberta Ave Alley Project, as part of the revitalization of Alberta Avenue. She has work in Edmonton City Hall, The Alberta Foundation for the Arts and in international public and private collections.

Pamela Thurston

Characterized by strong compositional elements and a sense of a moment captured, Pamela’s paintings reveal her early experience working in the graphic and photographic arts. Her eventual choice of paint as medium resulted from her desire for a more immediate relationship with material; and the choice of subject matter from her love of nature and concern with our loss of connection to it.

George Tosczak

George Tosczak was born in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan in 1934. He grew up on a farm with six siblings during the “dust bowl” years. In 1954, Tosczak joined the RCAF where he was part of the first UN Emergency Force in El Arish, Egypt, and served with NATO in France. After returning to Manitoba in 1966 Tosczak began painting landscapes in oil. In the 70’s, George was selected by the likes of Clement Greenberg, Otto Rogers, Sylvain Voyer, William Winter, Robert A. Nelson, and Takao Tanabe in a series of International Juried Exhibitions at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Coinciding with his move to Alberta in 1975, George shifted to large acrylic and egg tempera landscapes in a loose style, always with an expansive sky. By the late 90’s, George began adding characters into his landscapes who act out stories from the artist’s past, present, and imagination. He called them the ‘heritage paintings’. George’s ‘heritage paintings’ were featured in the 2000 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art complete with their naive spirited narratives and explicit images of prairie life in the 30’s and 40’s. George Tosczak’s work is in numerous corporate and public art collections including the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Alberta Jubilee Auditoria Collection, the Art Gallery of Alberta Permanent Collection, Athabasca University, and the University of Alberta Museums Art Collection.

Richard Tosczak

Richard Tosczak is a Belgian-born, Edmonton-based figurative sculptor. He studied philosophy and modernist sculpture, working in steel, at the University of Alberta where a number of the professors had a strong affiliation with Anthony Caro and Clement Greenberg. Richard pursued further artistic training in the Loire Valley with Martine Vaugel, first director of figurative sculpture at the New York Academy of Art. Richard’s creative work is rooted in the expressiveness of the human form.

James Trevelyan

James Trevelyan was born in Calgary and resides in Edmonton. He completed his MFA specializing in painting and drawing at the University of Calgary. He has taught art history, drawing, design and painting, and served as Chair of the Visual Art Department from 2013-2015 in the School of Creative Arts at Red Deer College. His painting career has taken him to Japan, Great Britain and the US. His work is represented in collections in these countries as well as across Canada in major public, corporate and private collections. He explores geography, weather, flora, and fauna in an expressive semi-abstract style.
