(By Kate Knowles) The latest in a series of posts featuring artists and works in the Art Rentals and Sales Gallery

By Kate Knowles Let Albertan artist Darcy Gusse Edinga draw you into the delicate, shimmering world of hand-painted Silk Concepts scarves and silk art compositions. From a young age, she knew she was destined to be an artist. Inspired by textiles at an early age, she is still happiest when creating her hand-painted silk wearable art scarves or her unique silk art compositions. Darcy is a graduate of the University of Alberta’s Clothing and Textiles program.

(By Jodie McRobbie) Eva Foote writes songs and sings them, and she’s coming your way for the next AGA Vibe party on Friday, May 19. Music has defined much of Eva’s life. With a bluegrass musician father and a family from Louisiana, Eva reminisces “there was always a honky-tonk, bluegrass or folk album playing around the house.” She admits that style of music has been a grounding force for her through every phase of her life. Eva currently splits her time between Edmonton and Montreal, where she studies at the National Theatre School.

Written by: Kate Knowles This is the latest installment in a series about Art Rentals and Sales artists and their works. Artist Jim Davies has an uncanny ability to create beautiful visual stories. Like a fine art photographer, Davies plays with light and shadow in all his paintings, creating soft, warm realms of colour and shape within his landscapes. He turns the familiar Albertan sceneries you know and love into mysterious places, where imagination and fantasy are still possible.
