We have the pleasure of display the vibrant Art of Michael La Rocque & Aunaray Carol Clusiau
Michael La Rocque
Born in 1968, Michael grew up near London Ontario where he attended Bealart at the age of 17. Later he went on to graduate from the Alberta College of Art & Design in Calgary in 1995. In his 3rd year Michael spent a semester studying abroad in Dundee, Scotland. In 2006, Michael was the selected Artist for both The BC Summer Games and The World Velocity Speed Skiing Challenge. Most recently, Michael has participated in the World Wildlife Federation fundraiser called “Faces in the Wild” held in New York City and London, England.
Aunaray Carol Clusiau
She is happy to be living away from the big city, in the beautiful Okanagan where she has renewed her passion for painting.
Large Contemporary abstract and impressionistic paintings of trees and water are an ongoing theme in Aunaray’s work. “I feel most at peace when I am in quiet places surrounded by nature especially around and in water and among trees. It upsets me when I see trees just wiped out to develop an area instead of honoring them and working around them and with them, so I think that is why I like to paint trees in almost an iconic way, singling them out to be admired.”
