Loretta Kyle

Sculptor Loretta Kyle is happiest when she has stone in her hands.

"I am driven to seek it out, touch it, explore it, carve it. I believe that stone is as essential to our lives as water and air. Stone teaches patience, to think before acting or speaking. Its hardness slows me down, grounds me," says the Quebec-born Kyle, who makes Bonnyville, Alberta home.

Kyle's graceful stoneworks are carried by art galleries in Calgary, Edmonton, Camrose and Invermere, B.C.

Her work has been exhibited in Toronto, Bonnyville, Athabasca, Camrose, Edmonton, Calgary and Invermere.

In 1989, she earned a diploma in biological sciences, laboratory and research from Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
