GROUP SHOW IN JULY

Marilyn Rife, David Rife and Sheila Cline

In July, the Loft Gallery will host a “family” of artists: mother and son Marilyn and David Rife as well as Marilyn’s sister Sheila Cline.

Marilyn enjoyed drawing and painting from an early age, using a variety of mediums. After moving to the town of Smoky Lake, Alberta in September 1990, her interest in art was renewed. Now working mainly in oils and acrylics, she is intrigued by the great variety of subject matter available in the vicinity.

David Rife has had an interest in photography for over 40 years.   A film developing course in high school stirred his imagination as to what is possible in the world of photography. David loves taking photos and trying to make them as expressive as possible.  His logo is ‘Taking Photos to share and love”.

Creativity and color have played a large part in Sheila Cline’s life. When she retired from her teaching career, she took a watercolor class and that was the beginning of her artistic journey. Today she works primarily in acrylics. Sheila has participated in a variety of galleries throughout Alberta.
