DENISE ANTAYA
I was born in Windsor, Ontario and now live in Port Stanley, Ontario.
After a 31 year career in Advertising, I decided to pursue my life long passion for painting landscapes on a full time basis."
"We are surrounded by beauty. I often wonder if people see the world as I do. Do they see the magic that is all around us? As an artist I work hard to create paintings that speak to me, and hopefully, to others about the important things in life. I hope my paintings evoke memories of childhood vacations long forgotten, where the stresses of the world are left behind, peaceful times at the lake or hiking in the woods. I hope they remind us of simpler times with family and friends, times of happiness, peace and tranquility."
PAUL ABELEIRA
Paul Abeleira has been painting professionally for nearly seventeen years. Through solo and group exhibitions in the commercial gallery and print markets, Paul’s work has fallen into the hands of collectors all over the country. While known mainly for his kitchen themed still life oil paintings, Paul is equally adept at plein air landscapes, figures and portraits.
Paul holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Studio degree from The University of Western Ontario. Upon completing his formal studies at Western, he further developed his skills at Grand Central Atelier in New York City with many of America’s finest painters. Paul teaches ongoing classes in drawing and oil painting at The ARTS Project and is an active workshop instructor and demonstrator for the many art associations in London and surrounding area.
