Jim Jenkins … Painter and Photographer
Born in England, raised in British Columbia, Jims' passion for nature and all its beauty is evident in both his photography and his paintings. A self-taught artist, his paintings seem to balance his photography, with an added bit of whimsy. His bold strokes and colours reflect the colour and majesty of his subjects.

Jim Jenkins is a strong believer in co-existence with our fellow creatures and tries to raise this awareness throughout his everyday life and art. Bears are a major part of this passion, and he is a strong advocate and supporter of Bear educational programs. Though his images and art, he shares his respect for the environment and the inspiration he receives from it.

Karen Harmsworth … Painter and Photographer
Having grown up on the rugged westcoast of Vancouver Island, Karen now makes her home with her husband in Brentwood Bay, BC. Her creativity has been multifaceted since childhood but her love for travel, photography and nature have led her to focus her artistic dabblings in painting. Studying under the tutelage of award winning artist and photographer, Chester Goosen, Karen now expresses her creativity using a computer to produce free-hand paintings. A process that allows the mixing of mediums and techniques that enhance her attention to the small details prominent in her work.

Karen finds her inspiration in the natural beauty of God’s creation that surrounds her and much of her work reflects her love of the Pacific coast’s wildlife and scenery. She is especially drawn to work on pieces that reflect relationships between her subjects or our relationship with the Creator. Whales are of particular interest to her.
