A graduate of the University of Manitoba’s Fine Arts Honours program, her work uses dramatic light and rich colour to capture the beauty and changing moods of the natural world.

Brandi Shabaga - (@bshabaga_art).
Brandi Shabaga is a contemporary mixed media artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She is best known for her work melding together acrylic painting, collage, and print-making; combining influences from bold pop and graphic arts with a loose, expressionistic painting style. Growing up on the Prairies and spending summers exploring the Interlake Region of Manitoba, she developed a connection with nature at a young age. While her art practice is currently evolving, her connection with nature, and interest in its cultural significance and interface with society, is a constant in her work – bridging her art with her academic background in earth science and anthropology. She is a proud member of Aceart Inc., the Manitoba Arts Network, the Manitoba Printmakers Association Inc., and the Manitoba Craft Council. She currently serves on the board for the Winnipeg Fine Art Fair, and is represented by the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (AGMS), Woodland’s Gallery, Warehouse Artworks, C2 Centre for Craft, and Shop Art Manitoba.

Charlotte Sigurdson - @charlotte_sigurdson_art
Charlotte Sigurdson is a painter and doll artist, based in Winnipeg, Canada. Charlotte was born in Toronto and has lived all over Canada and in Europe, though her strongest roots lie in the prairies.
She began her artistic career as a doll maker, creating bespoke dolls for children. Over time, her work has evolved away from toys, but dolls remain a core aspect of her practice and a source of inspiration. Charlotte’s practice now includes oil and acrylic painting in addition to sculptural art dolls and other objects made from mediums such as wood, textiles, ceramics and goldwork embroidery.
Charlotte’s work explores the human condition and the ways in which our inner worlds interact with the world at large. Her paintings focus on the human form juxtaposed with surreal elements and bold colours and patterns. Similarly, her doll work combines realism with abstraction and exaggerated forms.
Charlotte has exhibited her work in various exhibitions nationally and internationally including several solo shows in Winnipeg.
We’re so excited to have Charlotte joining us for this year’s gala. Swipe through to see a selection of her past work.

Lisa started working with watercolours in 2015 when she made the decision to stay home and raise her kids. What began as a hobby, quickly turned into a passion. Her entrepreneurial spirit and desire to share her work has turned Whitehouse Art into what it is today.

Danielle Fontaine Koslowsky @daniellefontainekoslowsky.art
Danielle Fontaine Koslowsky is a Franco-Manitoban visual artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Working primarily in oil on canvas, her paintings explore the interior life through abstraction, using colour, gesture, and visual texture to give form to experiences that are difficult to express with words.
Following in the footsteps of Hilma af Klint and Agnes Martin, Fontaine Koslowsky brings contemplative practice and painting together. Since 2015, she has developed her own visual language through sustained studio practice, research, and contemplative study.
Her paintings are held in public collections in Winnipeg and private collections across Canada and the United States. She has exhibited in a range of galleries and cultural spaces throughout Canada and internationally, contributing to an ongoing dialogue around abstraction, perception, and the inner world.
