About Me
- Ray Syrja
- Jasper, Alberta, Canada
- Visual Artist and Instructor. My artwork is a celebration of nature, of life itself. I am an artist; a painter. I work in watercolours, acrylics, sculpture and computers. I have experimented in fine art and graphic art over the past 40 years. I worked as a full time artist and art instructor for an eight-year period. As a Workshop Instructor, I have taught with the Jasper Further Education Council, Silvertip Art, JPL Elderhostel Program, A Brush With Watercolour, Jasper Artists Guild and Artra in Edmonton. Courses taught include watercolour landscape, birds & animals, figure drawing, heritage buildings and portraits. I am co-author of two watercolour instructional books. My projects have ranged from fine art shows to billboards; museum displays to restaurant menus; travelling displays to chalk boards. I have participated in many single artist and group art shows; my work has found its way around the world.
