March Feature Artist - Stefanie Denz
This month we bring you Salt Spring Island-based Stefanie Denz's gorgeous collection of local landscapes.
These paintings come from landscapes and environments local to where I live. I am drawn to familiar places, yet my terrain and foliage is full of revelations, and I marvel at how solid or vague they become depending on the light. These situations of confusion and concretization, have an invigorating and calming effect for me, which I find as well in my constructed paintings whose uneven surfaces add surprises. Later figures emerge from the scenes; family, friends, and others, painted at the same scale as the trees, and sharing a space of imagination. The places and people bring their presence to me and underlie a sense of who I am, and are part of my substance.

Next Up! Alisa McRonald
My work has always involved characters’ faces. This comes from a love of storytelling, fables, and folklore. I’m one of those people who finds faces in everything so I’m exploring, Why do we do that?! and, How abstracted can a face become before it is unrecognizable?
I use discarded textiles partly because they connect us to another time. Used items also registers the wear, the belonging, the history, the narrative and this becomes part of the piece.
