SUMMARY:Artist Meet & Greet with Kelly Isaak
DESCRIPTION:The Cochrane Public Library is pleased to present an artist meet and greet with Calgary artist Kelly Isaak in conjunction with her TREX (Travelling Exhibition Program) exhibition\, “Alone Together\,” on display at the library from April 17 to May 14\, 2025. \n“Alone Together” is a solo exhibition of hyper-realistic pencil crayon portraits by Kelly Isaak. These are not just generic portraits; during one of the more severe COVID-19 lockdowns in Alberta\, Isaak invited people on Instagram to submit their isolation photographs\, which she then drew. Isaak’s work captures a communal familiarity in the isolated experiences we faced. The series shines a light on those times when we felt alone\, yet navigated those moments together as a community. \nJoin us for this special opportunity to meet Kelly Isaak and hear her discuss “Alone Together\,” her artistic process\, and the stories behind her captivating portraits. Time permitting\, Kelly will also lead a short drawing demonstration for attendees.

She now resides in Calgary with her husband\, Ken Bryan\, the love of her life. Angasina was named by her grandfather after her great-grandmother from Alaska\, a name that carries deep familial and cultural significance. Growing up on the land with her family\, Denise spent weekends camping\, hunting\, fishing\, and trapping. These experiences were enriched by the making of traditional clothing such as mukluks\, seal fur mitts\, parkas\, and carry bags. Her family also prepared traditional foods like caribou\, seal\, arctic char\, whitefish\, and occasionally beluga whale. Denise’s artistic talents were nurtured by watching her grandfather’s drawings and carvings\, as well as her grandmother’s sewing. Today\, she continues to honor her heritage by creating her own Inuit clothing\, drawings\, and paintings\, keeping her culture alive and vibrant.

SUMMARY:Plein Air Oil Painting Demo with Marike MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:What IS Plein Air Painting? \nEn plein air is a French expression meaning “in the open air”\, and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light\, color and movement into their works. \nDate: May 23rd\, 2025 \nLocation: Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park | Participants should meet at the parking lot at the main gate. \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nCost: FREE DEMO \nAudience: Ages 15+ \nAttire: Dress for being outside. \nNOTE: This workshop is subject to inclement weather. \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION \nMarike will work up a painting from start to finish (hopefully) using oil paint from the scene in front of her while explaining her process and answering questions. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nborn and raised in South Western Ontario. Her early years involved the discovery of meadows\, woodlands\, farm and animal life. She showed an early propensity for drawing and longed to paint. Family resources would not allow it. After graduating from high school\, she enrolled in a Fine Arts Program at Humber College where she discovered Canadian art and the Group of Seven in addition to receiving instruction in life drawing\, painting (finally!)\, sculpture\, and printmaking. Since art school\, her artist training has been augmented by courses by various art professionals. \nMarike seeks to create works of art to share and stimulate others to an awareness of the preciousness and beauty within our world. Underscoring this yearning is her faith in God and the knowledge that whatever she creates is but the dimmest reflection of the natural world. \nFor thirty years\, Marike resided in Muskoka and was particularly inspired by the beauty of the lakes and forests of central and northern Ontario; the very landscape that had inspired the Group of Seven and countless other artists. Currently\, living in south western Alberta\, her current inspirations are the big sky and the grandness of the nearby mountains. She loves painting en plein air. She creates out of her home studio in Cochrane and she paints using oils or acrylic paints. Her work was been featured in the July 2019 issue of the Muskoka Life magazine\, and in the October 2020 issue of Arabella. Marike is represented by the Eclipse Gallery in Huntsville\, Ontario and in the Route 22 Collective Gallery in Cochrane\, Alberta.
