THE ARTIST
Kim Gwozdz
Kim Gwozdz has devoted over forty years to exploring the world of art, employing a diverse range of mediums to bring local landscapes, vibrant floral scenes, and wildlife to life. Her enduring connection with the Steinbach Arts Council is a testament to her dedication, having participated in numerous art exhibits, the Buy/Lease program, and the South East Artists Group.
In addition to showcasing her work, Kim has shared her expertise through teaching watercolor and acrylic classes. Kim’s work has been displayed and sold in local businesses, private collections across Canada, and internationally.
THE ARTIST
Arlene Rattai
As retirement approached, Arlene Rattai decided to take up painting, starting with porcelain. Over the years, Arlene explored watercolors and oils, but it was pastels that truly allowed her to capture animals in the way she had always envisioned.
Since beginning her painting journey in 1995, art has become an integral part of Arlene’s life. Her practice is constantly evolving, with each new piece inspiring and challenging her to explore new techniques and subjects.
