Art of Camrose
Natalia Beattie Art has always been about passion, about feeling. Ever since my hand held that very first crayon, I’ve held that passion. My name is Natalia Beattie, I am 16 years old. It has always been my dream to one day show the world my art, so for ten years I have been trying to do just that. I have sold artwork at the Bailey Theatre in Camrose as well as through facebook and have recently created my own business cards. I received top academic in art last year and have something extra special planned for the new Bawlf School. According to the principal, it will be placed in the new commons room. My work is unique, I take requests. People will confront me with an idea of what they want and I will create a masterpiece based off of their vision. My mediums include pencil, pencil crayon, chalk, ink, and acrylic paints. The price varies with each request; depending on the amount of detail, size chosen, and time it took for the piece. With each precious creation I hope to improve and continue to make people feel something about the beautiful strokes that were once blank surfaces. 8

Rita Sherman I live in
My name is Rita Sherman, and I’m very excited about trying a new venture. As an MS patient, every day is an adventure and carrying my camera with me is routine. It is part of me, the best therapy in the world, and good incentive to keep trying to improve myself. I’ve been privileged to have been a part of the Camrose Art Walk for three consecutive years. I have worked at the Farmer’s Market in the Mall for two years and was part of their Camera Club until my elderly parents (back in B.C.), needed too much of my time for me to stay committed to a membership. I’ve had one of my pieces showcased at the “Art Box” Gallery in Calgary, where it sold. Mostly, I just love what I see through the view-finder, which I’ve only been doing for four years now. I had a different career before that, (piano-teaching), but sometimes we get sent down a different path due to circumstances beyond our control, so down the path we roll, enjoying the trip as we go. I live in Gwynne, Alberta and you can find some of my photo-collection on flickr.com. Once you’re on the website, go to ritaspics2 and that is where I’ll be. I was also invited to post on the “Northern California” web-site, which I do from time to time. E-mail me at rsherman@xplornet.com 14
