Looking Back, Moving Forward: A Retrospective

January 9 – 21, 2024

Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 5pm.

Meet the Artist Times, TBA.

Biography: Earl Rina was born in 1987 in Cebu City in the Philippines. They started their journey as an artist in 2010, two years after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. They worked as a nurse and as an artist in the Philippines until 2018, and are now based in Winnipeg, Canada. Currently, they are enjoying further studies after receiving their Art Program Diploma from the Stratford Career Institute, and they are now pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours Studio Degree at the University of Manitoba.

Earl Rina works in a variety of media and techniques ranging from painting, photography, and mixed media as they explore the often-complex connection between humans and their social environment, mental state, and nature. Blessed with both a male (Earl) and female (Rina) name by their Filipino family, Earl Rina is a strong new voice sharing their exploration of emotions with the world.

Artist Statement: The goal of my artwork is to explore and share emotional experiences through my visual adventures in painting, photography, and mixed media. I aim to show the connection between our daily encounters with our natural, social, and mental environments.

When engaging with my artwork, I am inspired by the details of nature, social issues, and the mental state that provide me with a sense of wonder and capture the exploration of emotion in my art. I am also inspired by Florence Nightingale’s environmental theory, which is based on the concept that a healthy environment is essential for healing.

This environment is a connection between our daily encounters that directly affect our physical and mental healing through tackling and exploring environmental, social, and mental issues. Experiencing nature, engaging in society, and exploring mental issues to the fullest have allowed me to capture emotions and stories through my range of works.

I continue to learn from the beauty, wonder, and complex nature of our environment as I share this exploration of emotions with the world.

Go down memory lane with JoAnne’s paintings, influenced by her Icelandic heritage and life on a dairy farm in the fifties. She is very connected to nature which determines her choice of subject matter.

Julia’s championing of women artists through the ages comes from her feeling of their sparse representation in the art world. That’s why they are created in the form of portraits. She came to know their stories while she painted them in her studio that is surrounded by her companion trees.

Helma shelved her early career’s work. Her imagery in the past twenty years was dedicated to the water landscape and the large water birds. In the blink of an eye she began to explore the universe and left her representational art style behind.

JoAnne Gullachsen’s interest in art at a young age led her to entering into The Interlake Juried Art Show later in life where she obtained a first and second place award. Her work was then featured at the National Gallery in Ottawa in 1988 and a solo exhibition at Mayberry gallery in Winnipeg in 2011. Her show was written about in the arts section of the Winnipeg Free Press, “Never too Late to Paint”.

Julia Penny creates in her studio daily as a trained graphic designer artist. Her subjects are portraits – even as landscapes, still life, faces and figures. She is collected nationally and internationally with her portrait commissions being a mainstay of her art practice. She has participated in the WAVE Art Tour and numerous solo and duo shows in Selkirk, Winnipeg, and Regina. She has published a book of portraits and biographies called “From All Walks of Life”.

Helma immigrated to Winnipeg in 1966 from Germany. She moved to Winnipeg Beach in the Manitoba Interlake over 20 years ago. She creates, in the lee of the prevailing lake gusts, visuals of the marsh and lake landscape and writes poems and stories. She has undertaken many projects, one of which was the ambitious documentation of large waterbirds in the Interlake landscape with a Manitoba Arts Council major arts grant. She is also an award winning poet.
