Mavourneen Trainor-Chambers-Digital Art Series: Twenty-seven cement rooms are used metaphorically as blank slates, a canvas for expressions of female identity and ageing. Pushing the boundaries of Photoshop by using hundreds of digital layers, the spaces are "painted" with the imagination to create dream states. References to fairytales, folklore, literature and poetry cultivate dialogue, inviting the viewer to interpret content. Trainor-Bruzzese (HBFA Queens University), born in Mexico, is a Thunder Bay based artist and part-time sessional instructor in the department of visual arts at Lakehead University. She has exhibited internationally: Mexico City, Mexico; Lima, Peru; Caracas, Venezuela; Great Britain; Kee Lung, Taiwan and throughout Canada.

Paula Thiessen-Peeps Show-Photography Series: In her black and white photographs, Thiessen endeavours to show her "peeps" as they have never been represented before. And in her view, if photography is illicit in this way, then the gallery-goer is also implicated, for looking at photos of people one doesn't know, recalls the pleasurable voyeurism of the peep show. Thiessen is an accredited photographer, designer, writer and researcher contributing to: This Magazine, The New Quarterly, as well chief researcher for Naomi Klein, Mark Kingwell and Bruce Mau Design. She has an MA in English from Lakehead University and is also employed at Lakehead. (gallery 2)

Duncan Weller-Lara Wood/Book Project-Painting Series: Created for his forthcoming young adult novel titled Lara Wood, Weller takes on a more human approach with portrait figure paintings, which give voice to allegorical themes. Weller has won two of Canada's top awards, the Governor General's Award and the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Award. He has also secured several grants from the Ontario Arts Council to continue work on his paintings, animation and books, which have an international audience and distribution. Weller is also an Alumni of Lakehead University (BA 1989), and was honoured with an Alumni Award in 2008 for his achievements as an artist and writer. (gallery 3)
