"The landscape of the prairies and particularly that of Saskatchewan has proved a formidable subject for those artists with the courage to tackle it. Unlike Alberta, its neighbor to the West, with its picturesque mountains and plentiful forests, Saskatchewan is an understated land of exquisite subtleties, of rich textures and endless space. For more than 40 years Lorna Russell has devoted herself to exploring and interpreting this difficult but rewarding country. She has relied on her powers of observation and her poetic awareness to draw from the land its essence. Long hours have been spent walking its contours, absorbing its details and reveling in the never-ending patterns of light and dark. For Russell meaning emerges only after prolonged and intimate contact. The drawings which comprise this exhibition are about areas that have served as the artist?s subject matter for years." - George Moppett.…

"Reta Cowley, like many of the first generation of professional artists born in the Canadian west, deals primarily in her paintings with images sited in the experience of settling and developing the prairies. There is a strong attachment in her work to the particulars of a rural existence; specific elements of topography, vegetation and architecture recur in her paintings, imparting a sense of the prairie as a wilderness mediated by the fruits of a hard labour and cultivation. Her work as a painter has been a search for pictorial equivalents for these objects and the values implicit in them." - Dan Rich.…
