Erin Candela

Erin Candela is a Canadian artist originally from northern BC, currently living in Toronto. Often using historical documents such as photographs, public school books, nature encyclopedias and community journals, themes of Memory and identity are frequently present in her drawings. Ideas of North, Canadian landscape, and portentous depictions of wild creatures and characters are also common and contribute to a scattered and ambiguous narrative around identity and place.

Jen Pilles

Jen Pilles is a plein-air artist and freelance illustrator who recently moved away from Toronto to live in the forest. Her work is inspired by the natural world, and influenced by her love of exploration. Jen has been developing her plein-air practice for many years, enjoying the challenge of creating artwork from life outdoors. She allows her intuition to inform the work while savouring the view and staying mindful of the moment. Jen considers each new place she visits a chance to expand the scope of her practice, and discover something new about the world and herself. Jen's work uses a combination of media including gouache, watercolour, ink and coloured pencil on paper.

She graduated with honours from the Bachelor of Applied Arts in Illustration, from Sheridan College in 2010. Emily’s art practice ranges from exploring portraiture, both humans and pets, to following a deep love of animals and the natural world which often inspires her illustration work. Her work is primarily in watercolour and ink, but she loves exploring many mediums such as textiles, gouache, charcoal, acrylic, and digital painting. When she isn’t drawing or painting you might find her with her nose in a book or exploring the forest floor with a camera in hand.
