Denise & Jeremy Nichol

We are excited to welcome back mother and son visual artists, Denise and Jeremy Nichol. Their distinctive mixed-media artwork combines oil and acrylic painting with 3D creations featuring beach glass.

Jeremy Nichol, a West Coast-based artist, has been dedicated to expanding his artistic vision. His work spans a wide range of interests, from historical to contemporary, and he utilizes various mediums such as oil, gouache, egg tempera, and pen.

Denise Nichol studied visual arts at the University of Regina. She is a self-taught painter whose work is influenced by her love of travel, nature, and the diverse flavours of different cultures. An avid beachcomber and collector of beach glass, Denise uses her art to communicate and share the beauty of nature with others, exploring a wide range of subject matter.

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.

Her fluid paintings uniquely capture the vastness of the sky, the depth of the ocean, the mystery of the stars and the vitality of the forest. Through her work, she hopes to convey messages of love, peace and joy, making art a bridge that connects the human soul with the world around it.

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.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, Patti Tan ended up working in the corporate world and continued to pursue her enthusiasm for art in her spare time. She has an art studio in her home and dabbled in gouache, watercolours, acrylics and soft pastels. She enjoys creating with soft pastels the most and it has now become her passion.
