Blue Apple Community Holiday Fundraiser

Edmonton-based artist, Renee Shelast, combines movement with colour. In an effort to create depth and texture, layers of medium and paint are added using palette knives. She has the ability to use the Act and React process which freely allows the painting guide her. Using colours as an inspiration, this piece called Fireworks, is a well-balanced concept that opens the mind and allows the viewer to build a connection with the artist.

This painting for me represented a reawakening of art. Earlier in the year I was told by a local gallery that my artwork needed work and that was hard for me as an artist. So I layed my brushes down ever since that meeting. A lot of emotion and letting go flow through this piece. The artist and me as a person will never let anyone affect my art that way again. Titled: Tree of knowledge

Justin Wayne Shaw began creating the ‘Western Horsemen’ collage series as a way to visually explore, contextualize and interpret western north american beliefs and practises. The images that have developed are responsive to his experiences in navigating contemporary cultural norms and historical representations. The Subversive reimaginings and appropriations speak to a multitude of layered narratives, provoking a discursive approach to subsequent reading, and as broader contexts develop for viewers, the images may suggest subjective personal interpretations.

As a graduate of five separate programs at Edmonton-based Intuition by Design School of Energetic and Healing Arts, Tami is excited to offer a full sci-chi tarot reading to the Blue Apples fundraiser.

In Sci-chi tarot readings, Tami uses the psychological and physiological meaning of colour, shape and placement, in addition to the use of intuitive information to read past, present and most likely future information with her clients. Questions typically revolve around relationships, career or life path, and health, though the readee is encouraged to bring along their own unique questions and challenges to the session.
