Delay, Christine
French Canadian, Metis, from Northern Ontario, Delay was not exposed to “fine art” when she was young. She didn’t experience a gallery or museum setting until she was completing her undergrad in art. Influences that seeped into her consciousness from an early age were plucked from pop culture, a vein of images, words, and sounds from which she continues to draw blood to this day.
Currently living amongst the mountains and trees of Burnaby, BC, Christine is passionately dedicated to her full-time studio art practice which she started in 2021. In 2023, she was the winner of the “Artist to Watch Award”, an award created by the Beaumont Studios to support exceptional, emerging talent.

Tokarski, Paulina
Tokarski is a self-taught artist originally from central Poland. Settling in Invermere, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Tokarski found that the outdoors became an integral part of her life, inspiring her art in profound ways. Tokarski's journey as an artist began in her teenage years. She spent years exploring acrylic on canvas and wood, later adding acrylic inks and experimenting with mixed media. She is most fascinated by working with alcohol inks on yupo paper, aluminum composite, and wood panels. Nature has been Tokarski's greatest muse. She draws her inspiration from its beauty in all its shapes, textures and colors. Being in the backcountry, feeling the power of the ocean, or simply taking in the beauty of nature allows her to engage in a creative practice of exploration and renewal. Tokarski's art reflects her surroundings and the place that exists within her creative mind; a place she can escape to and be lost within.
