Art By Di
Canadian artist Di was born in Vancouver in 1984 and graduated from Simon Fraser University with a Major in Archaeology. As a self-taught artist her style evolved through the exploration of using bright solid colours and flowing lines to reduce the endless detail of life into calming, simplistic beauty.
Di’s body of work includes acrylic paintings and digital illustration. Her art has been shown in galleries on Bowen Island, Vancouver, Victoria and in private collections across North America. Recently she created three murals for the BC Children’s Hospital and her 2021 solo exhibition ‘Art for Sea to Sky’ raised funds and awareness for conservation initiatives in Howe Sound. Di works from her home studio on Bowen Island where she is often found exploring land and sea with her husband, daughter and two dogs. Current works can be found at the Brentwood Bay Resort, Van Dop Gallery, Catching Stars Gallery or online at www.artbydi.ca
Randy Wachtin
Randy Wachtin is an emerging landscape photographic artist who lives near the ocean on Vancouver Island, a settler on the unceded territory of the ləḱwəŋən peoples.
His unique, monochromatic infrared photographic style incorporating long exposures, reveals an ethereal beauty of his muse; the Cascadia biodiverse region of the Pacific Northwest.
Wachtin is a fourth generation graphic arts professional with roots in letterpress printing. He is a self-taught photographer and printmaker. His infrared long exposure photography is an art form that utilises light from the infrared spectrum to create beautiful, surreal images. It captures more than the ordinary human eye can see, allowing the photographer to create unique, dreamlike images of the land and sky.
He continues to self develop his craft as he processes each image and personally prints archival carbon pigment prints on museum grade cotton rag papers in his home studio. In addition, he outsources specialised printing on sheer matte ChromaLuxe aluminium panels that amplifies the ethereal properties of infrared photography.
Results are truly stunning, with an otherworldly atmosphere and an unmistakable, captivating beauty.
