Artist Spotlight - Tanya Slingsby
Tanya Slingsby works independently from a 2,000 sq. ft. studio gallery in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2002, she has focused solely on abstraction in painting, creating visual discourses on primordial and ethereal states in nature and the human condition. Using a formalist approach, Slingsby explores the energetic and emotional interplay of colour, texture and surface. Each work is a meditative addition and subtraction, layering polymer resin, pigment and encaustic 'mis en plat'. Tanya completed her Bachelors Degree with Honours in Fine Arts and History of Art at the University of Victoria and holds a Masters Degree in Aesthetics and History of Art by scholarship from the University of Sussex, UK.

Art Donations 2010 - David Burdeny
Award winning David Burdeny has donated his piece: Moss Covered Lavafield, Iceland, 2008 to UNITE WITH ART, 2010. His piece will be auctioned off during the Live Auction which begins at 8pm.
Moss Covered Lavafield, Iceland, 2008
32 x 64 inches, chromogenic print, aluminum mount, UV laminate
edition: 2/10
estimated value - $7,500.00
Donated by Artist
Courtesy of Jennifer Kostuik Gallery.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, David Burdeny has degrees in both Interior design and a Masters in Architecture. At the age of 12, Burdeny started to photograph the prairie landscape and make his own black and white prints in a makeshift darkroom that also served as his bedroom closet. Primarily self taught, his architecture and design background greatly influence his penchant for simple exacting photographs of sky, horizon and the marks humankind leaves behind. Burdeny chooses to photograph in poor light and near darkness. He uses unusually long exposures to see what our eyes normally cannot. Burdeny is based in Vancouver, Canada, and has exhibited with the Jennifer Kostuik Gallery since 2001. He has won several gold awards in international art photography competitions, the most recent being selected as International Photographer of the Year amongst 23,000 submissions, revealed at the Lucie Awards Ceremony in New York City, October 2008.
