M.L.(Marv) Skelton has always had an interest in painting and drawing and joined the Richmond Artist Guild in 1994.

“I find the act of painting very creative. Within the one discipline you can change, grow and evolve forever”

He is a founding member of “Men in Hats” a plein air group of lower mainland artists who paint every Tuesday at various locations throughout the GVRD.

In addition, Arlene Skelton, member of Richmond Potters Club, joins Marv to showcase her beautiful pottery.

Scott Pleydell-Pearce has been an artist all of his life and at 55 years of age he has packed in a lot of experience. His working career is in the world of Animation where he has filled many roles from Animator (2D and 3D) to a Series Director for TV animation.

Scott started painting in watercolour 12 years ago. Self-taught, he threw himself into the enormous challenge that is watercolour painting. His style can be described as bold, energetic and dynamic. He has the ability to draw very accurately but also turn his hand to a looser approach as well.

Embracing the outdoors, he paints En Plein Air as much as possible as nature is truly the greatest teacher.

Jennifer James and Tom D. Taylor Share Pop Up Artist Space for November

Come and visit the November pop-up artists at the Steveston Museum & Post Office! A percentage of all art sales goes towards SHS programs and events that support our community.

Jennifer James is a multi-textural artist who started her art journey from the time she could hold a crayon. She is fascinated by the spiritual significance of birds as can be seen in her cherished creations of a series of pottery bird women. Jennifer’s love of sewing and creating sculptural art allowed her to use up leftover fabric and create beautiful fabric birds. In addition, this talented individual is also an encaustic artist who uses wax to carve and build up layers making her paintings more 3D.

Tom D. Taylor is a talented local artist mainly working with Acrylics, Gouache, Watercolours and pencil. Tom’s love of painting was fuelled when living at a young age in Northern BC. Tom attended BCIT and graduated with an Architectural Design Major. While pursuing his business career, Tom continued painting and drawing at home and now focuses the majority of his time to art.
