Bev Bunker is an
Alberta-born artist currently residing in St. Albert and active in the art field
for over 30 years. She has studied varied aspects of art specializations in
England, Ireland, Wales, the U.S.A. and Canada. Many of her works have been
commissioned by the Province of Alberta and Corporate institutions as well as
many private individuals. Her works have been received in Vancouver, Calgary,
Edmonton, Toronto, U.S.A., Ireland, England, Nepal, and Rome.
Bev's current body of work in oil paints are inspired by travels during the
last four years. Some of her works have been described as similar to Andrew
Wyeth wherein he has created a narrative story by the skillful use of various
colors, atmospheric sense, and figures placed within the scene. As well, Bev
paints panoramas of landscapes - long and narrow vistas that invite the viewer
to achieve a sense of placement within the environment.
Since 1983 Bev
has taught art workshops and classes in St. Albert, Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary,
and in Totnes' Dartington Hall, England, and Roehampton College in London, England.
