BJ Arnason began her career at the age of 18 as a commissioned portraitist. Working from her studio in Mclure in South Western British Columbia she finds her inspiration from her surroundings and the convenient access to galleries in Vancouver and Kamloop's area. She has conducted popular pastel workshops and art classes and has adjudicated art exhibitions.

She has scaled back her teachings so that she can concentrate on producing thematic bodies of work. Two of her most recent paintings are " Garden Series " and the " Dancing Spirit " series seen in her Kamloop's Pow Wow Series.

Born in Edmonton, Alberta,

I have painted and drawn since I was three, I am told. I was greatly encouraged in art by Mrs. E. Frazier of Edmonton, a teacher in my public school.

I am an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, working toward Signature status, and an Associate Member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. I can be found almost every Thursday morning at our Thursday AM Painting group at the Visac Gallery in Trail, B.C. Recently we formed a group of five painters known as 'The Kootenay V and Associates' and I am one of the founding members. I have completed the Minneapolis 1st year Commercial Art Course. I have enjoyed instructive workshops with P. Margolin of Agenta, an international artist, and taken many wonderful courses through the Federation of Canadian Artists West Kootenay Chapter. I have taught workshops myself with School District #20 and tutored several young painters on a yearly basis. I love to paint and sketch outdoors and have experience in pet painting on a commission basis. I am presently involved in life studies and enhancing my personal drawing skills by going back to the basics and colour theory studies that keep my painting strong and true.

My artistic horizons were defined from the start of my vocation. I knew from very early on that I did not want to be an artist whose paintings are used only to adorn or fill empty, tedious or unsophisticated space. Through painting, I have been able to find myself and communicate in spiritual form with others.

Terencio's phrase, �I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me" expresses my basic existential preoccupation. In a world of constant convulsions, I have a human commitment to document what I see and feel. This puts no subject matter off limits to me. Pain, loneliness, anger, injustice & hope have often motivated me to face a blank canvass. My spirit reacts, twists, reflects, and finishes doing the essential: expressing itself with vigor onto the canvas.
