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.

"I love Christmas. I love the long drawn out anticipation, and the lights and that cheep wine tastes better by a tree. This year, my holiday fever is stronger than ever. I’ve had a tree up for two weeks already. Though no one is coming over, I might make a cheese ball and yell at my husband for touching it before the guests (don’t) arrive, just for tradition. Happy holidays!"
Fiona Ackerman
“The holidays are a special time for me, and being at home with family feels like exhaling and letting go of any outside pressures and refocusing on magic. We are big on traditions in my house. We make handmade ornaments for our tree and for our friends every year, we bake cookies for our loved ones, we eat too much, we watch Bond movies in our PJs until the stocking chocolates run out.... we snuggle. It’s great! This year I’ve been crafting with my daughter for the first time and she’s been making these macerated glittery lumps of salt dough that are hilariously cute, if not slightly obscene in shape, and will bring laughs to all of her uncles and aunties. These are the best things about the holidays for me; the things that wouldn’t make the cut for Pinterest. It’s a time for us to play again, something that far too many grown-ups forget to do nearly enough! After all, creativity is just play working hard, or Hard Fun, as I like to call it.” Lauren Walker
