Jeanette Jarville’s work shows us a pictorial world in which the figure and abstraction meld through the expressive power of colour. She has created her own language which goes beyond stylistic constraints and captures her intense spirit and boldness. Recently, Jeanette has been focusing on painting on glass, a unique reverse process. The reflection of light coming from the paintings a luminescent and powerful effect.

'For me the epitome of painting is with Cezanne and Les Fauves: Matisse, Derain-those artists who use color and form emotionally rather than after physical reality.  Sure there have been other loves but these are the enduring ones.

For several years now trees have been my “motif”. They represent my spiritual reach for higher states of being.'

Pam has studied at the Academy Julian in Paris, France and Hornsey Colleg of Art in London, England. She has exhibited widely in Vancouver and Bermuda and is listed in the Dictionary of Canadian Artists at Auction. She currently resides in Richmond with her husband and family.

'My paintings start from ideas collected in my sketch books, photos and memories.  My immediate and personal responses to these ideas become the seeds from which my work begins to develop. As a result, although they undoubtedly have roots in my daily life, they are a good deal removed from reality.'

'I was born in Burnaby and grew
up in Richmond. I suppose
destined to be involved in art.
In some way or form. My first
illustration on a scrap of paper
is of a grasshopper. I wasn't
yet 2. And ... it looks like a

grasshopper! Drawing and
painting became passions
as I dreamt of one day
becoming an Illustrator.  My introduction to photography
was with an old-school manual
SLR in grade 11.  I was hooked!'

'Exploring in clay is a never ending learning experience, and this journey has led me to wood firing, which I find most challenging of all.”  This process involves feeding a wood burning kiln for 2 days reaching temperatures of 2300 degrees f.  Natural flow of ashes from wood is deposited on the surface; melting and glazing the pots.  Each pot  becomes unique.'

Shirley is a Richmond resident who has enjoyed working with clay for the last 27 years.

After finding great joy in working with clay, she took private lessons with Barbara Baanders.  She completed her ceramics program with honors at Douglas/Kwantlen College and became an instructor of children as well as adult classes at Richmond Arts Centre for 11 years.  During these years she studied other fine art programs in the summer months at Emily Carr College of Art & Design.
 

Shirley’s work has been shown in group as well as solo exhibitions.
