Fluid acrylics and layered glazes enable Jennifer McIntyre to create lush tropical environments filled with birds and flowers. Subtle and complex colours are signature of her work. Imaginative flights both surreal and fantastical are inscribed on canvas. Poppy paintings evoke dance movement, gestures ever changing across several permutations. Above all, her work is joyful, colourful and expressive.

Carolyn Kowalyk, an intuitive abstract painter, applies layers of texture and pigment across surfaces, moving with the flow of paint on canvas. "I love to draw on top of the paint," she says, "creating finer detail which invites closer investigation."
