Daniel Gintowt
Land and Day of the Wasp
I am red and black
Rights to the wasps
Injury to my enemies
Spoken as the land and of my oxygenated abode of my life
Beautiful and menacing
Black is the understanding and oxygenating
Thus-purple-rose red and yellow is my garment
I have achieved growth
Opponents will suffer under God rule and behaviour
It will not be long before
You transform to me
From the last basis to the
Originality of when I manifested my throne!
Since arriving in the Cowichan Valley in 2007 from Montreal, Daniel has shown his artwork in Verse & Vision 2007, ArtShots 2008, Collaborations 2009 and SASS~e 2009.

Naomi McLean
26 – 6111 Sayward Road, Duncan, B.C.
Telephone (250)748-2081
Email: panamac@hotmail.com
ART EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
Drawing and painting came easily to Naomi as her mother taught her as a child, and she considers herself fortunate in having had good art teachers at school.
She won the Senior art cup in high school and attended the University of Cape Town’s art school for two years, studying mainly figure drawing, design, clay modeling, pottery and still life. Some years later she attended technical college in Durban, South Africa studying painting and colour compatibility in oil paint.
On emigrating to Canada in 1982 she has exhibited in numerous shows and sold paintings in several towns in Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
Naomi is an active member of The Cherry Point Artists in Duncan and
an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her paintings were chosen for two of the international exhibitions “Painting on the Edge” and she has received other awards.
Landscape paintings give her a lot of pleasure, as does landscape and trying to paint it. She believes God is immanent in his creation and tries to communicate this in the patterns, colours and moods noticed in likely subjects. She enjoys trying to make a beautiful thing, believing that beauty is healing, and also enjoys solving the pictorial problems involved.

Painting outside on the Island at Cowichan Bay, Telegraph Cove, Tofino and Ucluelet has brought to my canvases many scenes from all of the seasons.
Working alongside with many of the island artists has initiated the enthusiasm to produce, enhance and identify for posterity our beautiful surroundings.
Teaching: Eldercollege in Duncan with beginning drawing, watercolor and acrylic courses. Also oil painting lessons with Community Centre.
Portraits in watercolor, acrylic, but mainly pastel are my main artistic endeavours, and many commissioned works have been accomplished. Commissions welcome.

Herbert Wittrin
P.O. Box 305
6603 Bear Lake Road
Mesachie Lake, BC V0R 2N0
Phone: 250 749-3818
Email: sndy116@Yahoo.com or swittrin@Shaw.ca
HERBERT WITTRIN was born in East Prussia (now Poland, then Germany), he emigrated to Canada in 1954, settled in Vancouver, BC then moved to Mesachie Lake on Vancouver Island in 1989.
After a career as a commercial artist, he retired in 1984. This allowed him to work full time in Fine Arts, where formerly, this was a parttime pursuit only.
The beauty of nature, and in particular, his love of Vancouver Island, is reflected in his landscape scenes.
Herb uses oils and watercolors where they suit the mood of a painting; but his preferred medium is EGG TEMPERA, and most recently, he has adapted his own unique style based on the "Sgraffito" method. He does not believe that one specific style is necessary to successfully express his feeling in his art. Herb says, "I adapt the treatment that best suits the mood of that painting." All work is done by the artist in his own studio, located within his home.
