Murray has a strong desire to express the spiritual in his paintings. Murray's paintings also reflect his love for nature. "I feel most at home in the wilderness.

The appreciation of creation's beauty has been the inspiration for Reg Parsons. Growing up in western Canada, his school notebook margins were filled with sketches of wildlife and horses. The desire to recreate wildlife took him into the art of taxidermy, laying the foundation for his work in bronze. The spring of 1997 brought with it a new challenge to sculpt wildlife, to be cast in bronze. His understanding of nature, and the anatomy of wildlife, are evident in the life that he captures, in each sculpture. His work can be found in corporate and private collections around the world and is displayed in fine art galleries throughout western Canada and the United States. Reg currently lives in Cranbrook, situated in the Rocky Mountains of BC, Canada. The demand for his sculptures leaves little time for his love of painting, for which he has also received numerous awards. With unlimited talent as a self taught artist, he looks forward to his next work as being his best. Be it a notebook, a canvas, or a lump of clay, he demands excellence in everything he puts his hand to, and gives credit to God as the source of his giftedness.

Nothing excites me more than using my imagination. To dream a sculpture, draw it, and then form it into a work that will make people smile, is a wonderful thing". Working with metals ranging from paper-thin, to 20 ton sheets in every imaginable application, has given Greg a vast knowledge of his chosen material. He is known for his stylized, innovative and often-humourous steel sculptures. Polished figues in flowing lines, dynamic curves and contemporary subject matter form the essence of Greg's art.
