THE CONSTRUCTION AND VALUATION OF ILLUSTRATION IN VICTORIA’S ISLAND ILLUSTRATORS SOCIETY Master of the Arts 2006 Shannon Jaleen Grove Joint Programme in Communication and Culture Ryerson University and York University In Canada, illustration, commercial art, and conservative, traditional art are often spoken of as separate from and opposite to “non-commercial”, “contemporary art”, a division I argue stems from the older distinction between art and craft but one that can be subverted. Using concepts from Gowans, Greenhalgh, Mortenson, Shiner, and Bourdieu’s theory of the field of cultural production, this thesis traces the sociology and art history of the division between traditional and modern art that led to the formation of the Island Illustrators Society in 1985 in Victoria, British Columbia.

  • Bio Statement
    Mixed Media Artist Maria Pace-Wynters was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. She attended Victoria College of Art, Camosun College (Associate of Arts degree), the University of Victoria (BFA honor program) and Victoria Film School before settling down in Edmonton, Alberta with her singer/songwriter/soul-mate husband, Chris Wynters and their two daughters, Imogen and Scarlett. Currently Maria has a gallery shop in Edmonton’s Chinatown where she sells her unique and colourful mixed media paintings. Her paintings and reproductions are collected by loyal fans worldwide. Maria is an avid blogger and her blog, mariapacewynters.com, has been viewed by more than 350 thousand visitors. She sells her work online through Etsy, The Daily Painters, and Redbubble. Artist Statement: ‘Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.’ Pablo Picasso When I was a little girl I would do art any chance I could get. I loved to be creative and was always encouraged by my Mum. It was fun. I enjoyed doing it. In fact, there was nothing I liked better. It was never a chore! It was never dull. So, what happened? When I was a teenager I romanticized about a lot of things: Marriage, children, getting older; visions of Picasso danced in my head. Like Picasso before me, I saw my future self eating dinner and then taking my fish bones and making a clay relief. I would have a bohemian house with piles of art and reference books on the dining room table. I would paint along side of my toddler.
