He joined painting sessions and has exhibited in various galleries in the Philippines. In Canada, he continues advocating art for cultural promotions by joining exhibits and art vending at cultural events across Edmonton. He considers art as an expression of self for soul-searching and tranquility and considers art as a passive source of income for busy artists. As a ‘pluralist’, he works on different genres and mediums of art. Notable works he is into include abstractionisms with bright primary colors, landscapes and uniquely putting found objects to do dioramas. As a member of The Palette Club, he is open to clubbing for mentorship and fun socialization through outdoor painting sessions.<strong><br>Facebook @</strong>Abstract Painting by Noel Rile <br><strong>Instagram @</strong>noelrile.arts</p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1730149803583_62985"><div class="sqs-block-content"><hr /></div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1730149803583_63048"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Daisy Ann Ramos</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Daisy Ann Ramos</strong> is a self-taught artist with a penchant for art nouveau style.

His 30+ years of professional practice allowed him to work with various artists, institutions, and governments. Oliver currently writes in two Edmonton newspapers about business and the role of art in development. In this exhibit, his “Novo Cubism” twists Picasso’s traditions by composing in layers and displaying a breadth of coloring techniques from transparent, translucent, and opaque. His works are generally poetic and philosophical relative to abstract socio-realism.  Being a member of The Palette Club, he hopes to attract art agents, co-artists, and potential sponsors for collaborative projects in the future<br><strong>Facebook @</strong>Oliver Rabara <br><strong>Instagram @</strong>rabarao</p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1730149803583_64406"><div class="sqs-block-content"><hr /></div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1730149803583_64469"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>A Blush of Memories will be on display from November 5 - November 30, 2024.

Young.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Artist Bio</strong><br>I observe plants around me and record their vitality through line, colour & composition. I feel an energy from plants and try to convey that energy. I have maintained a regular meditative observational ink drawing and watercolor practice of plants for approximately 15 years. I received an extensive art education, particularly in blind contour drawing, when I was a child at the Edmonton Art Gallery (now Art Gallery of Alberta) and evening classes for adults offered by the University of Alberta Faculty of Extension and the Art Gallery of Alberta. In 1992 I attended Emily Carr College of Art and Design mono print program in Florence, Italy.<br><br><strong>Artist Statement</strong><br>Ink and watercolor observations made by me during the summer of 2023 in Edmonton. My favourite flowers: are roses, clematis, foxglove, and nasturtiums. All work is from life. Ink and watercolor on cold press watercolor mounted on cradled wood panels.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Rhonda’s work will be on display from July 30 - September 1.

He couldn't speak English, had no connections, and no job. Through volunteering at The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse—Arts on the Ave's social enterprise on 118 Avenue—Ammar learnt Canadian culture, practiced and developed his English language skills, and found a community. Today, Ammar is our Lead Barista and food pantry coordinator. In this leadership role, he teaches new skills to our volunteers, has shared his generosity and has found a safe home.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">When you support Arts on the Ave, you help us provide extensive neighbourhood programming. Which includes our free festivals, the Kaleido Family Arts Festival in September and Deep Freeze: A Byzantine Winter Festival in January. Your support also helps build a community that is safe, welcoming to newcomers and minority groups, and celebrates our culture—all through the arts.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a

artist, draws upon his heritage and experiences to fuel his abstract art style, inspired by the railways of his hometown in Manila, his vibrant artworks embody the convergence of cultures, emotions, and urban landscapes. Through a meticulous process, Rile creates dynamic compositions that capture the essence of movement and the transformative power of progress. His abstract works invite viewers to delve into the complexity of human connections within bustling train stations, reflecting the diverse tapestry of Manila's urban life. As a Filipino-Canadian artist, Rile bridges his cultural background with his Canadian identity, resulting in artworks that celebrate both worlds while inviting contemplation on the universal experiences of migration, hybridity, and the profound impact of our surroundings on our sense of self.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Noel’s work will be on display from April 2 - 27.

educator that has been involved with various visual arts programs with the City of Edmonton, including painting, drawing. I designed and set up the children’s program at the City Arts Centre. I have been invited to Edmonton Public School classrooms to teach art. I have exhibited and sold various work throughout the years through various small galleries in Edmonton and as well in Radium, BC”</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Artist Statement:<br></strong>This series of paintings was in response to lock down during the pandemic. I focused on a light hearted representation of the creek and pond life in my backyard. I was intrigued with the overlap of boundaries between the wild and the urban. I enjoy telling a narrative using playful interactions. Colour and pattern help create visual interest in the story I am telling.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Lori’s work will be on display from March 5 - 30.

me joy, and I love sharing that positivity with others. My art is a visual representation of children's playful ideas, reflecting the kindness and warmth I aim to spread. Currently, my works are all hand-painted in watercolor. It looks like a world filled with vibrant colours, whimsical characters, and an atmosphere that captures the innocence and creative spirit of childhood, inviting everyone to join in the celebration of life's simple moments.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Jan’s work will be on display from December 5 - 23.
