Artist Statement
The Painters’ Studio was formed in Kelowna in 1992 as a new alternative to the established art groups who had lengthy waiting lists for new membership. At its inception, there were seventeen fellow artists working in diverse media, but open to new and innovative approaches to expressing their art. After make some serious changes in the group in 2006, they redefined themselves into a new and forward-looking society abd have some together with a new purpose. Their purpose is to promote and support their members and to encourage them in their artistic growth.
The Studios’ Okanagan artists are committed to ongoing growth through tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, and programs within The Studio itself, and have added a website and obtained Society status. The group has held many shows over the years, and continues to bring a high standard of fine art to the public. In 2022, the Studio happily celebrated their Thirtieth anniversary.
Members of the group include Lizann Allan, Kit Bell AFCA, Colleen J Dyson AFCA SCA, Susan Priest, Laura Reagan, Anita Skinner, Lynn Tribe, Launna Vinnedge, and Jetta Williams. They bring a wealth of experience to the group with some members offering classes, and others showing their work in various galleries.
