| ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | Encouraged by her teachers, Inez Demuynck finished high school emphasizing art and graduated from the Lakeland College (Vermillion, AB) with distinction. She has trained extensively since 1962 in various media and techniques including serigraph and aqueous media, and ceramic handbuilding and throwing. She has been an Alberta Government Grants (1969) and scholarship (1971) student, and is a certified graduate from the Banff School of Fine Arts (now the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity) and the University of Alberta. She settled in Dawson Creek, BC in 1975.
Demuynck feels that art is as sophisticated as nature itself, and is known for direct, transparent watercolours and clay works. She has taught painting, drawing, and pottery at the University of Alberta, the Fairview Summer School of Landscape Art, in public schools, and has worked on a volunteer basis with senior citizens and disabled children. She has held membership with the British Columbia Provincial Committee of Art, Canadian Artists Representation, Canadian Federation of Artists, and Peace Watercolour Society. She has exhibited regionally in solo and group shows, and her work is held in the collections of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Alberta Cultural and Recreational Department, the Prairie Gallery Permanent Art Collection & Northern Lights College Art Bank, Vancouver General Hospital, and Proctor and Gamble.
