Her classic Steveston Heritage Building paintings on wood blocks are always a beloved and popular addition to the show.

Donna is returning to our Pop Up space to share her passion for bird photography. Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles are among her favourite subjects, and she loves capturing their beauty both through photography and in oil and acrylic paintings.

This is Sali Rogers’ first time exhibiting in our Pop Up space. A passionate artist from a young age, Sali began painting pet portraits in Steveston in 2016, driven by her deep love for dogs.

Art Lodge

I’ve lived in the lower mainland my entire life. For a number of years I worked at a print shop on River road in Richmond. My wife of 38 years, worked in Federal Employment Programs helping Steveston fishermen adapt to changes in the industry. I’m a member of the Richmond Arts Coalition.

I started creating 3D designs on the beach using driftwood, sea glass and beach rock. It was part of a morning meditation practice. When a local artist discovered my work she encouraged me to take them home and mount them. I’ve had success at craft fairs, online and at a local boutique and galley.

Suzanne Basnett

I am a local Richmond resident and have been working with clay since 2012 when I took my first wheel throwing class. Two years later I set up my home studio in a shed in my backyard in Steveston. My pots are primarily thrown on the wheel, but lately I have been exploring slab building and combining the two processes.

I strive to make pots both functional and beautiful to be used and enjoyed every day.

I am a member of and very active with Richmond Potters Club, Fraser Valley Potters Guild and Potters Guild of BC.

C.C Chen

C.C Chen is a passionate and enthusiastic Richmond artist whose creations are inspired by her inner world. Her works are more than just paintings; they are stories, emotions and spiritual expressions.

Reach to Teach Art Installation

The Arts Conservatory & Renaissance Academy of Learning (Steveston) proudly presents another creative student-led installation through their “Reach to Teach” program.

Collaborating with students from James Whiteside Elementary School the art installation is inspired by the work of 19th Century painter Henri Rousseau, a French post-impressionist painter in the Naive or Primitive manner, most well known for his jungle scenes.
