Christine Pressburger from Yarmouth Waterfront Gallery on Vimeo.
Christine was born in Manchester, England, lived in a number of places and settled in Nova Scotia eleven years ago. Her career has been also varied – as a health professional, the owner of the Academy Tea Room and now devoting herself to painting.
She has been involved in the arts since she was five as a dancer, actress, theatre director and artist. Christine is a world traveller, but her most creative process takes place at her home in Port Maitland overlooking the Gulf of Maine. As a result her paintings are eclectic in subject, style and varied in medium.
She has studied with several teachers such as Joy Laking, Jean Pederson, Maggie Schmidt-Mandell, Will Rogers and Brian Atyeo. – developing her style in oil, watercolour & mixed media. She is passionate about art and as a result her work is vibrant, colourful and expresses Christine’s emotional reaction to time, place and subject.
Sheila Rodney-Miller from Yarmouth Waterfront Gallery on Vimeo.
As a young girl walking on the beach, Sheila found that the ordinary rock was not quite so ordinary to her. Where others saw a grey piece of slate or granite, Sheila saw a myriad of colour, looking for release. Thus a lifetime of love for colour and art were born.
She started with oils, and over the years has expanded to include working with acrylics and watercolours.
Her subject matter varies. She completed a series of paintings from her 2007 visit to Mozambique, Africa, which is a mixture of portraits and wildlife.
Sheila has displayed her work at th’Yarc and at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Western Branch in Yarmouth. She recently had a three month display at the Yarmouth County Museum.
