An original acrylic painting of "Diver" on canvas. Sized 40x40". John E. Marriott has described (and photographed) Diver and her unusual fishing behaviour several times.

Artist Heather Hawley. Value of $3,400.
This painting, “Bull Moose Solitude” (oil on stretched canvas, sized 30x30”), is based on a beautiful reference photo taken by John Marriott. As an amateur photographer, I have also had the privilege of photographing these majestic animals most notably several years ago during one of John’s week-long wildlife photography workshops that I attended in Jasper, Alberta. He knew the best locations and vantage points to capture great photos of moose! My husband and I live on an acreage southeast of Edmonton, Alberta, and we have a number of moose that frequent our area – they seem to enjoy sampling our young fir trees! I have always been fascinated by them and they are so enjoyable to watch, so selecting this image to paint was a natural choice for me. Shipped from Leduc, AB.

Tracey Halladay Photography. Value of $700.
A 30x40" canvas print of "Mob of Rams". This image was taken one morning close to where I live in Southeast BC. A friend had messaged me that the sheep were on the road licking salt. I drove up and chased them off the highway as it was on a blind corner and I did not want to see them get hit. They went off on a small side trail and, with them safely off the road, I pulled in and got out to take a few photos. As I was doing that, the largest ram, the "Mob Boss", started walking toward me. I clapped my hands and hollered but he still kept coming. At that point, I opened my vehicle door and stepped onto the running board. He stopped. As he stood there looking at me, all the other rams slowly came in and lined up behind him in a perfect V.

4 Elements Photos. Value of $300.
A 12x18" aluminum print of the award-winning photograph "Island In the Sky".
This is one of my favourite photos I have ever taken as it truly is an optical illusion. For work, I will often get to fly in helicopters to count salmon in remote and wild river systems in BC. As we were flying over this lake, we noticed how glassy the lake surface was and we had to turn back to snap a couple of photos. This tiny little island in the lake had an amazing reflection. The illusion in this photo is that what appears to be clouds, are actually reflections of clouds on the surface of the water – an illusion that makes it seem like this little island is floating in the sky in a very ethereal way. But have a look closer to the top left corner, a little Rainbow Trout has left a tiny ripple as it feeds at the surface of the water, a ripple that shows the true illusionary aspect of this pic.
This photo was named one of the 50 Greatest Landscapes by National Geographic and has been published in 2 of their hardcover books. It is also currently travelling in a mobile Nat Geo museum to a museum exhibit across Europe. Currently, this exhibit is in the Netherlands, I believe.

Artist Kelly Mieszkalski. Value of $160.
Pressed Lady Fern and River Birch Bark. Ferns and bark were collected from my garden and pressed for 6-8 weeks. I use U-V resistant conservation glass and seal the artwork with oxygen absorber packets and create an airtight seal using aluminum foil and aluminum tape, as direct exposure to light and oxygen will deteriorate the colours over time. It’s a time-intensive process but I love every step of it.
Nature is my greatest inspiration. The colours and shapes are astounding! I’ve been growing, collecting, and pressing flowers and foliage, then using that pressed plant material as my primary art medium for over 25 years. I love to share the beauty of our natural world with others in creative ways. Sometimes I present the flowers/foliage just as they appear in nature, and at other times I use the flowers as my “paint” in abstract, patterned, and/or embellished designs.
Frame Dimensions: 9x11x1.4". The frame can be hung on the wall or be stood up on a shelf (it has an easel back).

A framed print of "Talon". Print is 19x27" matted and 25x37" framed.
For the past ten or so years I’ve travelled to Jasper during the winter. I truly love the drive out to Maligne Lake. The road is usually snow-covered and I try to be the first vehicle out to enjoy the peacefulness of a quiet road. A few years ago on one of my trips, light snow was falling and the sun was trying to peek out from behind some clouds: a perfect winter day in the mountains. I spotted the two bald eagles sitting in their nest and was able to park on the road and take some photos. I sat and watched alone for a while and then drove on hoping that on the drive back they might be in a tree closer to the road. Lucky me! When I returned one of the eagles was sitting in a tree a little closer to the road. Rolling the window down I could just shoot away with my camera from the truck. The eagle sat there for several minutes, doing a big fluff of its feathers and then proceeded to spring into the air and fly away. The excitement of this beautiful wildlife moment fuelled me for the drive back to town.

A 17x22" print of "Pride of a Nation".
This image, 'Pride of a Nation' was photographed in the Okavango in beautiful Botswana. Our group almost missed this encounter; male lions had not been spotted in the area in the days we were in the area and we were actually en route to a location much further out to look for some leopards when this beauty was spotted right next to our camp, almost completely hidden in the shade. He paid us no attention and we were able to spend a short period of time with him before we moved on.
