About the artist
Chantelle Matkowski is a student at University of Saskatchewan finishing up her final year of her Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) degree. She is an aspiring photographer in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, who mainly shoots in 120mm and 35mm colour film as well as some black and white film work. She grew up in Candle Lake, Saskatchewan, where a lot of her photographs are inspired by the beautiful nature landscapes. Her main focus in her photography is experimentation with different techniques in camera and on the film to create different unexpected outcomes on the photos, such as light leaks and double exposures. She has had multiple shows within her artistic career, including shows in Saskatoon, China and Newfoundland; with this she has gained a wide knowledge of gallery procedures and installations.

About the artist
Cecilia Drummond was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, but has lived in Saskatoon for the last six years working casually as a nurse. For the last four years she has been dedicated to the BFA Honours in Studio Art program. Although she dabbles in drawing, print making and sculpture, she mainly works in painting, often using oil on top of acrylic. Her work is usually a mish mash of realism and conceptual art, paired with abstraction, dreamscapes, and surrealism. Drummond hopes to create art that tickles the curiosity with both a sense of seriousness and a sense of play. She hopes to further develop her sense of play, in both life and in art, and see just how far it gets her. She plans to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree as soon as the opportunity arises.
