Artists We Represent
Steve Coffey
" My work is elemental, with a focus on nature and the forces with which humanity has to contend. I search for a distinctive atmosphere from the immensity and grandeur of the plains to the human mark etched upon it. With both a plaintive and expressive palette of light and movement I draw both from my past, a process I call "Memory Polaroids", and from the present day of all that surrounds me. My medium is oil on canvas...and a guitar”.
Steve Coffey has been an integral part of the Canadian art and music scene for many years. He has curated traveling exhibitions, created large-scale public sculptures, taught college, and conducted many workshops and art residencies. After finishing his formal training in 1990 (University of Regina, Master of Fine Arts.) Steve practiced formalist metal sculpture in but eventually gave in to his love of drawing and representation and was seduced by the immediacy and challenges of oil paint. He began exploring the medium full time in 1995. Steve has exhibited extensively and his paintings can be found in numerous private and public collections Worldwide and he is represented across Canada by many well known Art Galleries.
Steve’s music has received critical acclaim over the course of ten albums to date and he and his band have performed regularly and been heard on many radio airwaves over many years, from commercial to college to frequencies in between. Steve notes such figures as Tom Thompson, Emily Carr, Alex Colville, A.Y Jackson, Bill Duma, Mike Scott, Don Van Vliet, Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell for helping define his world of art & music. Steve and his family live in the small Southern Alberta town of Vulcan.

Kristofer Parley
The world around me is portrayed in my work from my watercolour paintings to my detailed pen and ink pieces. The structures that surround me, my neighborhood and the city I call home, all play a large role in my art making. By focusing on unique angles and perspectives, some that most people will never see, affords me the ability to show the viewer something new from something old. Although reference photos are used in the development of my art, I take artistic liberties with the layout of my pieces; from making some buildings smaller and less significant to rearranging streets and modifying the locations of buildings. My art possesses both a sense of realism and whimsy that has been known to create, at times, an unnerving feeling with the viewer. With each new piece that I research and create the level of detail is greater than the one before it to the point of becoming an obsession. During my process lessons are learned, mistakes are made and future pieces benefit from those experiences.
My work has been compared to that of Wayne Thiebaud (1920 -) where his use of over saturated colours and shapes emphasize the subject matter differently than what exists in reality. Delving into the realm of new realism. My work has also been compared to that of René Magritte, where we both use light to create mood and tell a story.
My art resides in private and corporate collections in Russia, the UK and across North and South America and Asia; in print and licensed in Canada.
Raymond Theriault
Works by Raymond Thériault celebrate the outer structure of our modern urban landscape: concrete and glass, bricks and stonework, curbs and doorways. The artist has made each of his landscapes a place you want to walk into and explore, a place where you want to spend time or lose yourself. Though they capture but a moment in time, these paintings are meant to be browsed through and savoured slowly.
While some of the works concentrate on the interplay between architecture and the human presence, there are also evocative touches of portraiture and still life among this collection, displaying the artist's versatility and variety of style. There are day scenes and alluring images after nightfall.
After completing his first year at the University of Lethbridge, Raymond graduated from the Fine Arts program at the University of Alberta. In his over 25 years as a professional artist he has had 12 solo exhibitions and numerous group and juried shows. In 1994, Raymond was awarded first prize in the national Visual Arts Competition by the Department of Canadian Heritage. A member of the Alberta Society of Artists, he has taught figure drawing at Harcourt House in Edmonton, and illustrated bilingual textbooks published in Montreal. Raymond is also a former president of the Alberta Society of Artists.
In addition to galleries in Alberta and British Columbia, Raymond's work can be found in the permanent collections of several major corporations, such as Suncor and Canadian Utilities, in law offices such as Ernst & Young and Bennet Jones Verchère, as well as in numerous private collections throughout the world.
