Adele Woolsey

Adele Woolsey studied Fine Arts at Okanagan University College in British Columbia and at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary earning a BFA with distinction in 2007.  She is an active member of Burns Visual Arts Society, Alberta’s oldest artist’s cooperative in Calgary.  She has exhibited in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.  International collectors in Geneva, California and the West Indies as well as local corporate and private collectors have acquired her work.

“The warmth, hospitality and willingness of the ranch hosts to accommodate the artists on this project made the whole experience so much richer for me.” 

“I was raised on a farm in Southern Saskatchewan where ‘walking the land’ was a normal and frequent occurrence.  Walking the hills and trails on the host ranches caused an unexpected flood of memories and triggered a deep sense of nostalgia that I will tap into for inspiration.”

“I was astonished by how intimately the hosts knew every corner of their ranch.  I felt their sense of stewardship, respect and accountability towards the land.”  

“One of the ultimate highlights for me was going on a trail ride on Home Ranch with Duncan the cowboy.  It was magical sitting on a bluff overlooking the spread of Kananaskis country below us.”
