PHOTOGRAPHER: JOHN VANCLEEMPUT

Nicknamed "John Boy" by many of his friends it soon became the name of his post-
retirement hobby.  John was born in Saskatoon and received his schooling in North Battleford.  The lure of the ocean and a new part of Canada saw a move to British Columbia. 


John's greatest pleasure is seeing others enjoy his work.




PHOTOGRAPHER: COLIN CHATFIELD

Colin Chatfield enjoys photography in general, but the night sky, macro, and landscapes are his favourite subjects. He has a desire to educate people about things in the world around us that many take for granted. 


Colin also teaches photography classes and holds photography workshops throughout the province as well as judging photo competitions, including those at Reflections of Nature.


ARTIST & PHOTOGRAPHER: HARVEY REBALKIN

Born on a farm near Marcelin, Saskatchewan, Harvey was always interested in nature. Although he enjoyed the birds, butterflies, animals, and other creatures of nature from childhood, he did not start painting until the age of 40. 

Harvey enjoys using:
- watercolors 
- pen and ink
- scratchboard 
- acrylics
- oils 
- pastels. 

His subject matter generally contains a natural theme varying from wildlife to florals, landscapes to buildings. 


Much of his reference material comes from his keen interest in photography. 

Since his retirement Harvey has volunteered with the Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association and is the Chair of the Reflections of Nature show for 2022.

ARTIST: IRENE STROSHEIN. 

Irene's approach to wildlife art is more emotional than detailed accuracy - feeling that there are cameras to capture that accuracy.  She enjoys working in:
- pastel
- watercolour
- acrylic
- oil
- pencil
- alcohol ink
- mixed media and more!





Wildlife art is important to her because it reminds her that we are not alone and that we should be aware of our impact on the environment which will impact our lives and the lives of the wildlife. 

Irene is currently the President of The Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association.
