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.

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.
