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.
