Kyle McKearney is no stranger to the music industry. This Airdrie-based Métis musician comes from a long line of country and bluegrass singer-songwriters.

Cindy Bouwers’ nature-inspired paintings capture light and convey emotion to uplift and nurture the viewer. But the former teacher at the Alberta College of Art + Design (now Alberta University of the Arts) didn’t always allow herself to explore her creativity in this way.
