Fred Buchwitz

    Fred came to Canada in 1949 from his birthplace, Germany, at the young age of four. His family settled in the pristine Fraser Valley in Southern British Columbia.
     At the age of fourteen, Fred began to experiment with various painting mediums. At first, he worked with poster paint but this proved to be inadequate and restrictive. He eventually concluded that oil paints would best suit his needs. Being self-taught, he managed to develop his own unique style of painting that sets him apart from other artists. Fred grew up surrounded by abundant natural beauty which provided bountiful ideas for his work, ranging from the crashing waves of the West Coast to the exhilarating mountain vistas of the Rockies.
     In 1972, he decided to make painting his full-time profession. Since then, Fred has traveled extensively throughout Western Canada with his work. Gaining in popularity, many of his images are now being sold as limited edition prints and art cards. Because Fred is self-published, the edition sizes are kept low, which proves to be an attractive selling feature. Recently, he caught the attention of the Bradford Exchange, which commissioned him to provide images for a collector's plate series that has been titled, "The Cabins of Comfort River" and is being sold worldwide.
     Fred currently resides in Delta, B.C. with his family, painting and publishing new images for art collectors to enjoy

Jeff Buchwitz

    Jeff was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1971.  He took interest in drawing at a young age, and began with black and white sketches.  It was at this early stage in life that Jeff started to develop a talent for drawing wildlife and landscapes with precise realism.   Eventually, he found that watercolour and acrylic paints were the most suitable mediums for his work.
     After two years of training at Kwantlen College, and working as a commercial artist, Jeff began painting full time.  Currently he works both on computer graphics and painting.  With his natural surroundings for inspiration, his artwork is continuing to rise in popularity.  He has successfully experimented with watercolour in seascapes of British Columbia's west coast, and with acrylics in his wildlife and Rocky Mountains scenes.
     He continues to produce beautiful originals, and is planning to print more limited editions in the near future.  This up and coming young artist's work is sure to please even the most discerning of collectors. Originals of his work can be found at Art Image galleries in Surrey, BC and Avenida galleries throughout Alberta.

Jason Buchwitz

     Growing up in beautiful British Columbia, Jason has been very much influenced by his natural surroundings, giving inspiration to several of his paintings. His interests in a wide range of subject matter are clearly shown in his work; from the intensity of a formula 1 car race to the calm, majestic serenity of a lone timber wolf set in a winter wilderness.
     Holding a degree in animal biology, Jason has studied many species in terms of their anatomy and behavior, giving him a better understanding of the wildlife he paints. His goal has always been to create a strong sense of mood or emotion with his subjects, bringing life to each one of his paintings. Jason's painting style is characterized by the way he uses light and detail to add high contrast, vivid color, and realism to his art. He is currently working as both a traditional artist as well as a 3d computer animator and digital media creator. His paintings are sold privately and are also displayed at the Avenida galleries in Alberta.
