Margot D’souza, Marilyn Piccinin and Donna Gregory Wood are three talented friends
who will be sharing Pop-Up Art space alongside Jenifer Gustavsen at the Steveston
Museum and Post Office for the month of August.

**Jenifer Gustavsen – **In her first ever art show, we are pleased to welcome Jenifer
Gustavsen as one of our Pop-Up Artists for the month of August. Jenifer has a long
history with marking art primarily as a classic animator (hand drawn animation),
with film credits including Dreamworks films such as _Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour
Dreamcoat, Road to Eldorado, and Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas_. She has a master’s
degree in archaeology and majored in art from a variety of cultures. Jenifer’s research
into the brain’s response to making realistic art drove her to try her hand at oil
painting and the results are absolutely stunning. Instagram at @ars_oilpainting.

**Margot D’souza** is a local artist, Steveston resident for over 48 years and member
of the Richmond Artists Guild, Richmond Arts Coalition and Men in Hats Plein Air
painters. She has a passion for drawing, oil painting and photography and gets her
inspiration from photos or sketches made while traveling the world and being in 
nature.

**Marilyn Piccinin**, also a Richmond resident, has been painting for a long time,
and started with “tole painting” – a decorative form of painting in oil or acrylic.
Marilyn now prefers watercolour and paints and paints weekly with a group of local
artists.

**Donna Gregory Wood** has called Steveston home for over 30 years. Since retiring
from Children’s Hospital she spends most of her time exploring the outdoors, especially
walks at Garry Point, Britannia Shipyards and the West Dyke. She discovered bird
photography after receiving a camera as a gift and now has an immense passion for
birds – learning about them, photographing them and even painting bird portraits
using oil and acrylics. Instagram at @donnagregorywood.
