ARTISTS
STEPHANIE FEHRENBACH grew up in Toronto, Ontario in a very creative family. She credit her parents as doers - if they didn’t know something, they’d find a way to figure it out. If something was broken, they’d fix it themselves. If something wasn’t designed well enough for what they wanted, they’d alter and improve it. This has served as inspiration for Stephanie in her career.
Stephanie always wanted to become an artist, but it never seemed like a realistic career path to pursue. She received her B.F.A. Honours Degree from Queen’s University in 2006. Stephanie recalls packing bins in the supply closet for an artist’s mural one day, admiring her life, and thinking maybe her dream to be an artists was not so crazy after all. So, she set up an easel in the kitchen of her tiny, one-bedroom apartment and just started. She hasn’t stopped 8 years later! Hundreds of paintings later, she has found a distinct style and process and exhibits throughout southwestern Ontario. |
ELEANOR LOWDEN studied fine arts at the University of Western Ontario, OCAD and ACAD, as well as participated in many workshops during her 30 year career as an artist.
“My work is an interpretation of life from a happy point of view. My style plays with patterns and repetition of forms, it is both illustrative and impressionistic too. I am inspired by many things; country roads, umbrellas, trees, polka dots, mass cultural objects, people, dogs, and most recently, spring flowers. Through these differing subjects, I am continually exploring unique compositions while creating bright, luminous paintings with my own unique color palette and marks.” |
