Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B

Bev Morgan hunts down the vision and excitement she feels when the light flows through her explorations. She is primarily a watercolour Artist finding innovation in nature, on an adventure, or painting en plein air. Bev's passion for teaching resonates with her students because she instills her passion for Art appreciation.

She encourages and enjoys the opportunity to inspire others to pick up a paintbrush. Developing over 100 lesson plans in a variety of mediums Morgan shares her enthusiasm for travel with her fellow tourists  to excite and motivate their imagination into new ways of constructing their inner visions.

Join me as we take a deep dive into  Morgan's creative process. How did she find her way into teaching on excursions around the world? What are her thoughts on Art education? Do rules help or hinder creativity? What are her influences? Do they change with location?

Hugh Gardner joins our show from a unique vantage point. Perched on top of the musical peak of being a Saxaphone player, a Visual Artist, and being involved with the theatre scene in Eastern Ontario. This gives him a rhythmic, visual, and dramatic advantage. 

Join me as we take a deep dive in understanding what got him to this very point in his career creatively. Was it the love of music that put him in this direction? Was it working with his hands? Or expressing himself impromptu on stage that was the key to moving him in this direction?

Gardiner shares his journey in this creative submersion. Does he come up for air? Or is he completely immersed in this artful avenue? Hugh gives us some anecdotes that are both endearing and captivating. Our discussion raises some interesting parables between the audio and visual worlds; how they merge and stand separate at the same. Where are the boundaries? Are there any? Who knows how to blur them effectively?

Join me as we take a deep dive with an Artist who is said to be breaking all the rules of colour. Yaw Tony an Architect, Artist, and Graphic Designer that also has an extensive fashion line. What are his boundaries with colour? Does he have any? What inspires these rich and wild designs of intricate and bizarre stories? They are flooded with intensity of pure hues and symbolism. 

Yaw Tony has a unique perspective with these three disciplines he weaves his own interpretation of contemporary values with his cultural heritage that shines brighter and bigger. We go beneath the surface to uncover where Yaw's inspiration really lies. 

Where do his artworks take us? Is it the stories he wants us to understand, or is it the meaning behind his colour choices? What is his story-telling really communicating to us? Or are they interpretations of ancient allegories or legends? Can we use them today to change our lives?

Painting thousands of paintings, having public artworks involved in Hollywood productions, and being a frequent lecturer are just a few of the tools Sutherland has used over his three decades of being a Professional Artist in the Toronto area. 

Being a prolific Artist is whats his creative practice has become. Kirk Sutherland doesn't know it any other way. It is a meditative state of flow. As an experienced Colourist and Abstract painter, that has for many years seen things differently with Synesthesia. Where he craves colours in the middle of the night because he tastes them with his mind.  This isn't something strange, it is merely how he understands his world. 

Join me as we do a deep dive on Kirk Sutherland's influences, how he understands his imagination, teaching, and his world around him. What professors influenced him while he was a student at OCAD during what he calls the golden age of learning.

Being a Canadian new media Artist means Kezleigh's creative process is always changing, and forever floating.   Her unique form of expression sits ready to fly from the layers of inspiration she cuts and molds into works of paneled plastic forms flowing like textured depth.

How did her imagination arrive at this creative place? Join me as we uncover her drives, her motivation, and what exactly inspires these forms to emerge? Was it her design experience? Or her education? Life growing up in Muskoka, central Ontario? Or did these experiences weave to influence her practice?

Expressing herself through memories and dreams, organically her work comes together in digital nuances projected through various programs; that finalize with tweaks in her tiny studio. Mapping her panels with a specialized print shop she inks her way to a 3D look that jumps into fluid integrity and nostalgia.

David Brown is an alchemist, from the humblest sense of the word. He uses the furnace of  the imagination to create a quiet loudness from encapsulating some of Canada's urban centres into sensory illusions of time and space.

Having an award winning international career in Design and Art for 30+ years Brown graduated fom Ontario College of Art and Design University.  His encaustic paintings of crisp edged abstractions of translucent conscious thoughts, resonate with engineering exactness and childlike amusement. 

Join me as we take a deep dive on how these found objects, paired with these paintings, become sacred windows to the invisible temple of the mind. What is his creative process that crystalizes this form of expression? What triggers his imagination into sharing these secrets so modestly with everyone?

Being a self taught Artist Lynden Cowan meticulously creates wild landscapes with highly detailed scenes. Finding solitary amusement as a child Lynden used scrap wood as canvas; making her own paints from dandelions, berries and vegetables. By the grace of teachers gifting her supplies - as kitchen pots were no longer suitable, her talent blossomed. 

Growing up in Brampton, Cowan returned to painting during a time of family sorrow. Fashioning her style after her memories of Nova Scotia where she was born, maturing every Summer by spending it with her Grandmother in a rural atmosphere.  This idyllic setting was the perfect opportunity for Lynden to hone her craft. 

To develop her style in both landscape and architectural subjects. As well as be a true entrepreneur starting her own Art school at the age of 16. Where did she gather the courage to start these amazing projects? Was teaching in her background? Was the gifts of art supplies the incentive to share her new skills with her students? Was her incentive ultimately the breathtaking landscape from her home on the East Coast?

Edward Moffat a decidedly unique photographer on the local scene. Describes his work as not for everyone, as nearly naked often disturbs the mainstream in ways that are peculiar. He connects with his models and has an understanding. It is what is comfortable to expose, to share, to divulge to the eye. 

Being a freelance photographer has had its ups and downs but Moffat has found a niche with his love for capturing nature both in the human body and the outdoors. Specifically he is fascinated with unusual perceptions, cropping techniques and layering negatives.

Join me as we go beneath the surface of his creative process to discover what drives Moffat to capture his innovative photographs? Was it being given a camera at a young age? Or was it teaching other Photographers how to operate a camera that intrigues him?
