Susy Raxlen
resides in Victoria
BC
Susy Raxlen is an artist who has had an "intense" involvement
with intaglio printmaking for over thirty years. During her professional
career as an intaglio printer, she has collaborated with close to
a hundred artists in Montreal, Santa Monica and Victoria. After
moving to Victoria in 1992 she purchased a press and set up her
own studio, describing her mixed-media works on paper as process-driven
and her art practice as something evolving out of experimenting
with materials and techniques and responding to whatever comes out
of the successes and mistakes. She is currently a printmaking instructor
with the Vancouver Island School of Art (VISA) in Victoria.

Laura Harris
resides
in Victoria BC
Described as 'beautifully imperfect' Laura Harris's paintings
speak to an inner voice often ignored – with strikingly
bold colours and texture, each one takes you on a journey that
requires contemplation and offers discovery. Mostly self-taught,
Laura began painting in her teens. With her draftsman father teaching
her perspective and technique, he also encouraged freedom of expression.
Before becoming a 'serious' painter, Harris attended college and
worked as a graphic designer, specializing in corporate identity.
In 2001, her successful design company gave way to her full time
art career. Harris is having a run of successful shows and critical
acclaim in Victoria and Whistler.
"The splatters of paint represent people or souls, rising
from the ground up into the horizon... open and searching, connecting,
together. The black represents the chaos of daily life, and the
brightness represents hope, calm, and the inner peace I feel when
I stop."
