Born in Saskatchewan in 1941. I do large format black & white photographs of Canadian landscapes. I have had work in over 160 exhibits in Ontario and have also shown work in Alberta and Quebec and in the USA and the United Kingdom. I taught photography at KWCVS in Kitchener for 22 years, and part time at Conestoga College.

Colour and Light features unique, abstract glass art by Erin Moffat. A former research chemist, Erin enjoys the fusion of science and art. She draws inspiration from nature for much of her work, and also likes to geek out a bit with her fun molecule-themed pieces. Erin’s fascination with Celtic imagery also shines through in her intricate knotwork in glass, and she is trying to save the environment one bottle at a time with beautiful, functional items made from recycled bottles.

Andre Campbell is a writer and blogger who has Cerebral Palsy. This doesn’t define Andre, but will allow you to appreciate his incredible accomplishment in creating this graphic novel.
He graduated from high school in 2010, and presently lives on his own in Cambridge, Ontario. Like many young people, Andre didn’t love his high school experience. In many ways, he was a normal, angst-y teenager, but if you asked him, he would say that he was made to feel pretty different.
Campbell’s peers used his disability and sexual orientation to bully him. Adding issues related to his Cerebral Palsy to this constant insensitivity it became almost too much to handle. But Andre soldiered through.
After finishing high school, things got better for Andre. Nothing changed overnight, but things did change, and they continue to improve. Good changes are possible for anyone, no matter who they are!

Terry was born in Ontario and earned a Bachelor of Fine Art (honours) from the University of Western Ontario. He currently resides in Kitchener.
Although he explores a wide variety of subject matter, Terry works primarily with landscapes, exploring the various visual elements of our province’s diverse natural environment in an abstract style. He weaves the landscape’s elements of texture, line and colour into diverse works in a variety of mediums including soft pastel which is currently his passion. Terry is also an accomplished photographer.
His work has been collected both privately and by corporations and he is currently affiliated with Art Dialogue Gallery and the Engine Gallery in Toronto.

Despite being situated in the city, Raflar’s true love is in the landscape of Canada’s rugged outdoors. Visually, he attempts to convey his admiration and love of nature. He is influenced by The Group of Seven and finds inspiration in the old Masters such as Monet, Van Gogh, and J.M.W. Turner. His work demonstrates a recognition of form but stresses the importance of perception. If someone can perceive the frigidness of the snow, the warmth of the sun, and texture of the trees, his mission is accomplished. His desire is to present the breadth and beauty of Canada’s natural environments through watercolour and acrylic so that the public can see the competing inherent fragility and strength in the world which surrounds us.
