| Angelika Jaeger | | ‘Art is an expression of the world as seen through my eyes.’
I have discovered by working in mixed media and collage that the layering process is synonymous with our human condition: life experiences, learning, evolving, adding and subtracting, lost and found. These are the layers of my life and my art.
When I feel my artwork is complete I love to share it with the audience, so they can start their own relationship with each piece.’

| Barry Rafuse | | Barry Rafuse likes to paint pictures which leave something for the viewer´s imagination. He is attracted to nature and often his paintings reflect a mood. Barry is facinated by the forces of nature - the power of a thunderstorm, the ravages of the waves, the shimmer of wind on the grasses or the magic of sunrays. "My challenge is to capture this drama in paint".

Artwork | My work reveals a personal and collective history and creates a dialogue between the past and the present. As a child growing up I often listened to my grandparents stories of their experiences in a variety of places and imagined in my mind what those experiences would look like. For me recalling the memories made their history come alive and relate to my life. The specific stories of people and places and how the combination of these things creates memory that can be recalled and re-examined is the basis of my work.

| Deborah Wilson | | Deborah is known internationally as a jade artist. Her starting point was in the early 70s after graduating from the Vancouver School of Art. Jade carving was a way to transition into the real world but jade did indeed become her chosen medium. Relocating to the Okanagan in the 80s allowed her to focus on this very challenging hard stone.
After successfully completing "KALAMALKA REFLECTIONS" in jade for the City of Vernon ( made possible by OTISS 2002 ) she has taken on several commissioned monumental sculptures. The most recent one is "LUNA ", carved in Mabel Lake marble, installed at the Watermark entrance way at The Rise in Vernon in 2008.
