The Alberta Landscape - Paintings by Regina Seib

 

 

 

Regina was born in a small village in East Germany, immigrating to Canada at age seven with her mother and grandmother.  Her new life in Canada began in a Saskatchewan farming community.  She explored her rural surroundings with a keen curiosity and wonder.  Gradually, she explored the diversity of rugged landscapes of the western Canadian provinces.

Regina Seib was born in a small village in East Germany, immigrating to Canada at age seven with her mother and grandmother.  Her new life in Canada began in a Saskatchewan farming community.  She explored her rural surroundings with a keen curiosity and wonder, and then gradually, the diversity of rugged landscapes in the western Canadian provinces.

Regina is energized and pushes the boundaries of her multifaceted ability in her approach and portrayal of diverse subject matter.  She has chosen to develop this diversity and embrace it as a unique gift and asset.   She paints with remarkable energy, allowing the mood or subject to dictate her style, feeling each work deserves that kind of commitment, liberty and integrity.  With this unique gift of diversity, she will surprise you!  The vibrancy of her colours and bold brushwork, evident in her work, is indicative of the freedom she has in expressing herself.

Regina is pleased to have her works in private and corporate collections in Canada and Abroad.

New in the Gallery: Fraser Hine & Ginette Beaulieu

 

 

Born in Amqui, Québec in 1954, Ginette Beaulieu has been a professor of painting since 1979. She has shown an interest in various mediums but prefers to use charcoals and oils. Ginette has studied the old masters techniques extensively, and her work exemplifies high realism through her use of natural pigments, which she creates. Since 1981, she has taken part in many different exhibitions, both collective and solo. The public can admire her works in several galleries. She is represented all across Canada as well as in the United States and France.

Giving Back to the Community, Plus: Enter to Win a Little Painting

Dear Friends of the Gallery,

For years, Webster Galleries Inc. has sold organically grown squash to raise money for worthy local causes. This year, gallery director John H. Webster has donated all proceeds from these squash to the Brenda Strafford Society, Discovery House, and Awo Taan in order to benefit victims of family violence.

We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who picked up squash this year to help raise money for these local charities!

Inspiration: The Alberta Landscape

We hope everyone in Calgary has been enjoying this glorious weather! Here are just a few of our favourite landscape pieces to inspire you this week.

 Fraser Hine

Fraser Hine grew up in small towns in Saskatchewan and now resides in Calgary, Alberta. Hine draws inspiration for his artistic works from everyday scenery and nature; back alleys, street scenes, and stunning rural landscapes depicting the mountains of the west are all subjects which the artist captures with a unique sense of familiarity and emotion.

Although Hine’s works represent the artist's own interpretation of a time and place -- a snapshot of a fleeting moment -- his paintings remain open to the viewer to discover his or her own interpretation.

 

Inside Look: Shirley Elias featured on Shaw TV Winnipeg

Shirley Elias, represented by Webster Galleries in Calgary, Alberta, was recently featured on Shaw TV Winnipeg presenting her daring new piece that sees music and art come together in the Muse/ically Mussorgsky Project! Check out the video link to the left to get an inside look at her vibrant paintings.

About Shirley:"My art is about communicating with color and composition. As a concert pianist my performances were about connecting with an audience from stage, using colors of sound within a structured musical framework. My work as a painter is based on a similar principle, as I aspire to communicate with colors on canvas; vibrant colors presented in a detailed and balanced composition. I am directed by the flow and rhythm of the colors and design. Just as one's ear is constantly stimulated in a concert setting, I now strive to keep the viewer's eyes engaged and moving across the painting."

Jamie MacDonald and Exhibition at Marriott Hotel

 

Jamie MacDonald is a graduate of Queen’s University, B.A. (Hons.) and B.Ed., and a resident of Calgary, Alberta. He paints landscapes and illustrations, but also enjoys the occasional portrait. His goal is to reveal the unique story of each place or person, and to tell that story as best he can. Sargent, Klimt, and N.C. Wyeth can be counted among his influences. He has been a participant in a number of group and solo shows in Ontario, the Maritimes, and Alberta. Jamie finds time to paint while acting as a fencing coach, pursuing guitar and writing, and working full time as a teacher of art and history.

 

New Paintings by Sheila Adams, Ken Kirkby, and Alice Saltiel-Marshall

In 1956, Scottish-born Sheila Adams came to Canada and made Calgary her home. The rugged beauty of Western Canada with its Rocky Mountains, Foothills and Alberta plains provide ideal subject matter for her work in oil and acrylic. Adams’ techniques and years of experience create fluid compositions that burst with the colour and energy of Alberta’s nature.

Always open to new concepts, Adams has explored various aspects of painting; experimenting with colour and design. Influenced by artists such as Norman Brown and Jean Geddes, Sheila is constantly increasing her body of knowledge and technical expertise. She is passionate about continuous growth as an artist and aims to breathes life into each of her new works. Adams is also a member of the Calgary Sketch Club and The Federation of Canadian Artists. In March 1996 she was awarded signature status with the Federation.
