The Role
Our artists live with disabilities of varying forms but come to the studio because they want to be artists. To help our artists meet this goal, our Studio Faculty will lead their media-specific departments while making extra efforts to encourage, inspire, and motivate them to conceptualize new ideas, create with new mediums, develop and deliver specialized training programs, and exhibit their works when opportunities arise.
Alberta artists Ana Zanella and Veronica Funk present their own very distinct versions of
memories: abstract grids depicting patterns and organic motifs found in daily life, and portraits inspired by miniature vintage photographs – bringing together old and new through bodies of work that are interconnected by the past but presented in a way that represents the present. The show runs from August 5 - 30th.
Ana Zanella is a painter and mixed media artist living in Calgary who is interested in
