would come up with tough answers, she
delved much deeper into all aspects of the
subject and improved her own knowledge.
By contrast, Ron has a much more formal
art background. He studied under Roy
Kiyooka at Regina College School of art at the
University of Saskatchewan where he
received a graduate scholarship. He went on
to study at the Vancouver School of Fine Art,
the University of British Columbia and the
University of Toronto, graduating with
degrees in English, Art, and art•education.
He was an art head for the North York
Board of Education and exhibited in various
printmaking competitions and travelling
shows including the Canadian Society of
Painter -Etchers and Engravers, Canadian
Printmakers Showcase and Graphics Canada.
Though both have established reputations
in the art world, life is not easy for an artist in
Canada. About 99 per cent of Canadian artists
have another job, Bev says. Competition is
fierce and many young artists don't know
what they're getting into when they decide to
be artists. Besides the competition there are
the costs involved Of a S60 price for a work in
a gallery, Bev points out, 50 per cent off the
top goes to the gallery as commission on the
sale. The rest can easily be eaten up in the
cost of materials, including framing which
can cost $60-70 for some works.
These costs, and /he costs of renovating the
old house have sent the pair looking for jobs
since they moved to the country. Both now
teach courses for Conestoga College at the
Vanastra Centre.
