Aron Hill
Aron Hill currently lives and works in Calgary, Alberta. He graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2000 with a BFA in Interdisciplinary studies. He then completed his MFA at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His work there evolved into installation based projects using traditional drawing and painting methods alongside formal sculptural elements, large format photography and text based work. He has recently been focused on formalist paintings that recall aspects of minimalism and color field paintings though with references to the figure throughout. He finds conceptual company in the late Modernist paintings produced particularly in Canada. The choice of a restricted medium, acrylic ink washes on prepared raw canvas, forces restraint. The work's graphic nature relies on the sheer flatness this medium produces. Aron has exhibited internationally, occasionally lectures, and writes.

ARTIST HIGHLIGHT
Angela Lane
Anglela Lane's interest in the art world began in Grade 10 when she was fortunate to have an inspiring high school art teacher who nurtured her creativity and love for the arts. Although Angela was passionate about pursuing an arts program after graduation, her parents encouraged me to follow a science-based path. She applied to both medicine and pharmacy programs and was accepted into pharmacy. Within a few months Angela realized it wasn’t the right fit for her, so she made the decision to follow her passion and began a Bachelor of Fine Arts at ACAD. After completing her BFA, she went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, graduating in 2011. Following her studies, Angela balanced working part-time in pharmacy with developing her painting practice. In 2020, she was diagnosed with cancer—a life-changing experience that prompted her to reassess her priorities. After this, Angela committed fully to her art career and now dedicates all of her time to her studio practice which includes carpentry, sewing and painting to create her fantastical 3-dimensional paintings.
