Bio for Reidun van Kervel:
In 1974 I graduated from Langara college, with a diploma in the
Art in Merchandising program. Specializing in Commercial Art,
Display Design and Interior Design. I worked briefly in my field
before taking a job with Red Cross as a Creative Therapist, first
in Victoria then transferring to Vancouver.
From there I went on to work for Public Health in Vernon, BC,
then the Vancouver Parks Board employed as an artist,
designing brochures, posters and booklets.
I moved to Bowen Island in 1980, had a family and started a
small business as a sign painter. What is now, “The Sign
Studio”, was started in our home in 1985.
I have been an avid photographer my whole life, and continue
to see through my lens, things that often inspire my oil
painting, and sometimes inspire ideas for my canvas floor
cloths.
