I am a muralist and an arts educator/facilitator residing in the Eastman region of Manitoba.  I am passionate about making art that inspires and engages the public, and that visually enhances public spaces.  I administers group mural projects within communities that speak of my strong commitment to making art accessible as a tool for self-expression and healing. My work through the Artists in the Schools program brings me from school to school throughout Manitoba, working with students throughout the research, design and creation of murals to beautify their schools. Mosaic is another art-form I enjoy and have been incorporating into my artwork and community Projects.  I have facilitated several community and school mosaic projects that are both beautiful and functional. Using largely discarded materials, these mixed media mosaics bring communities together in the collaborative creation of tactile art for their schools and communities.

A chemistry major turned artist, Rachel's fascination with the science of materials led her to ceramics. She approaches her art with a scientist’s precision and an artist’s intuition, experimenting with glazes and firing techniques to produce unique textures and finishes. Her studio has become a creative lab where art meets science.

Rebecca Driedger is a versatile creative who is passionate about photography, video production, writing, and art. Their journey as a visual storyteller began in 2013 with the purchase of their first DSLR camera. Initially drawn to nature and wildlife photography, they soon expanded their skills to capture portraits, live events, and dynamic performances, working with musicians, live theatre productions, and organizations like Brandon University, Klinic Community Health, and The Gargoyle Theatre.

While Rebecca's work behind the camera evolved, their love for storytelling remained ever-present.

Now balancing creative writing, design, photography and videography, Rebecca is focused on expanding their craft while preparing for future academic pursuits in creative writing. Whether creating art for fun or crafting stories to inspire others, Rebecca continues to blend their diverse skills into a dynamic and evolving career as a Theatre Creative and Freelance Media Creator.

Born in Whitehorse, Yukon, in 1977, then raised between Snow Lake, MB and Vancouver, BC has given Lars Stoltz a truly unique outlook on life and what is important within. As an Indigenous artist from Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Art is his passion. In 2012, Lars had the ingenuity to pick up a butterknife and start making intricate wood burnings with it as he lived on Vancouver Island.

The desire to help his family has brought him back to Manitoba, where he continues to create works that inspire others to seek their own inner artist. During his career, Lars has created customized works for many celebrities and famous artists, and he always appreciates those who inspired him from an early age. From  Stan Lee and showcasing a custom Thanos in his museum, Robert Englund signing his Freddy Krueger, and Zakk Wylde enjoying a custom Skullthrone in California, to Ted Raimi, Meatloaf and the Sheepdogs, Lars has always enjoyed giving back to those who inspire his own arts.

Recently, The Burton Cummings Theatre chose to honor him with the front lobby display of a 4x8 Larsworks piece that had been given to Mr. Burton Cummings on his New Year’s Eve Birthday bash in 2022. Lars has been invited to tour North American festivals and events every year and always looks to encourage others to see art as a career. His own non-profit arts foundation has recently taken shape to bring a more modern aspect to the arts in Northern Manitoba.
