About the artist
Originally from the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, Cristine relocated to Saskatoon in 1999 with her young daughters to begin a new life. In 2015, she returned to university to pursue her lifelong love of art. Areas of focus during her time at the University of Saskatchewan include painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture/installation. Cristine has been the recipient of numerous awards and scholarships based on her academic achievements at university, including the Michael S. Misanchuk Memoral Award in Art and Art History for Travel, the Athetes and Art Scholarship, and the Anna Bychinsky Award for Excellence in the Fine Arts. She has volunteered at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery on campus and was involved with the Visual Arts Student Union as a board member. In 2018 she was chosen by a professor in the Art and Art History Department as one of the top three painting students to enter a student painting and sculpture competition at Galerie Art Mûr in Montreal and was subsequently chosen as one of the student-artists to take part in the associated exhibition that same year.

About the artist
Diana Roelens was born in Nongoma, South Africa, and immigrated to a small rural town on the Canadian prairies in 2004 together with her husband and young family. She currently lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, but grew up and lived in various South African locales. The richly diverse environments of South Africa and Canada have strongly influenced her work through painting, drawing, sculpture and installation. Roelens has participated in student exhibitions at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery. In 2018 she was one of the students nominated to submit paintings to Fresh Paint/New Construction at the Art Mûr gallery in Montreal to participate in this survey exhibition of new works from students across 14 Canadian universities. She has also exhibited in group shows in Saskatchewan and South Africa and had work featured on the cover of ESJ, a University of Saskatchewan research journal.
