| One Step
at a Time Illustrations for Children's Book Jim Gummerson has been named one of the top five artists in Canada by Duck Unlimited Canada. I have worked as an Illustrator for many years, and have worked for some great people too. The projects are always interesting and I learn something new each time I think. I love this place to paint because of the diverse aspects of life here. Although the town centers around a large factory, sometimes you can find the most beautiful scenes were you wouldn't expect it.

| Ceramicist - Sherri Soukoroff | |

| Sherri Soukoroff started making tiles in1994, after studying at the Emily Carr Institute.
Originally a painter; Soukoroff treats her tile-inlays and murals as a canvas.
The tiles are handmade of earthenware, handpainted in a range of vibrant colours. The
designs are drawn onto a slab of wet clay, the individual tiles are then cut out, dried and
painted. The tiles are then bisque and glaze fired and ready for installation.
Sherri Soukoroff and Michael Petersen, furniture designer, together have created a series
of tile-inlaid tables. The tables are available at Indigo Road in Nelson.
Soukoroff also does custom and commission pieces as well as accent tiles ready for installation.
