Welcome Cam Reid

Reid grew up in the Comox Valley, developing his artistic abilities and passions at an early age. He went to art school at the North Island College - Emily Carr University satellite program from 2006 to 2010, achieving his BFA and excelling primarily in painting and printmaking throughout his time there. He currently works with ideas surrounding the human experience of time and memory: subjective time, memory recall, and false memory are common recurring themes in his work. These works are manifested in paint on canvas, and in drawing installations utilizing etched plexiglass and digitally printed plastic film. Reid recently won first place at the Victoria Emerging Art Awards in Victoria, BC, and currently shows there regularly. Reid is currently represented by the Victoria Emerging Art Gallery.

Welcome Lisa Dawn to Octopus Members

Lisa Dawn M. is a 2010 graduate of Emily Carr University. She has chosen to work with porcelain because it is a material with equal qualities of strength and fragility. It requires care, patience and undergoes extensive transformation during its handling process. It has history and memory.

All of her work is available for commission and collaboration – all of her buckles, pendants, textiles and sculptures are one-of-a-kind, but she is able to make replicas that are near identical, but still original, if you see one you really like.

Lisa is available for public, private and commercial work. If you see something you like, or have an idea for a piece and her style fits your idea, contact her. She also supplements her artistic endeavors through the film industry as a props maker.
She welcomes people to her studio if they are interested in her work or have any queries.
