Amy Dryer attended the Alberta College of Art and Design, the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland and the Fine Art program at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick to receive her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Dryer has painted full time since 2002 and was chosen as the 2009 recipient of Heritage Property Corporation Purchase Award. She recently completed an artist residency at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan. She exhibits with Trinity Galleries, Saint John, NB; Canvas Gallery, Toronto, ON; Galerie Avenue, Old Montreal; and AXIS Gallery, Calgary AB. Her work is collected in private and public collections in Canada and the US. Dryer is based in Calgary, AB.
Dryer's loose, painterly approach connects with the primitive act of mark marking. Her work can be situated within the artistic style of German Expressionism. Dryer attacks the canvas with a bold, gestural paint application and a vibrant palette. She expresses the inner lives of her everyday subjects in what she describes as human calligraphy, capturing private and impermanent moments.
Representing the energy, imagination and creativity of Canadian and International artists in a dynamic, urban setting.

St John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada
St John's in Newfoundland & Labrador
St. John's, the capital of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the perfect combination of big-city luxury and small-town charm. As the oldest and most easterly city in North America, this is where heritage lives. Melded with culture, history, and personality, St. John's has survived two World Wars, five centuries, countless hardships and triumphs. It's become a rare, old city full of character, experience and charisma, with a contemporary, sophisticated edge.
Wander down the narrow, criss-crossing streets carved by horse and carriage over 100 years ago. Pass the colourful jellybean row houses wedged together in every space lining the sides of steep hills and hidden alleyways. Once you've meandered down to the working harbour of the waterfront, look towards the Narrows and imagine a time when the waters were brimming full with fishing schooners.
Visit Quidi Vidi, the charming village-within-a-city, which still embodies the spirit of an old fishing outport. Then, hike up nearby Signal Hill through the famous Battery, where tiny wooden homes still cling valiantly to cliffsides ravaged by ocean waves. The unmistakable, iconic Cabot Tower guards the top of Signal Hill, where military men guarded the shores throughout the 1700s and 1800s. Here, Marconi famously received his first transmission across the Atlantic in 1901. Look out over the cliffs and watch the city's harbour and captivating skyline spread out before you. Perched on the top of the horizon is The Rooms, home to the provincial museum, art gallery and archives, standing next to the striking twin clock towers of the Basilica of St. John the Baptist.
As you explore the history of this place, shop at the many fine boutiques, shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, and art galleries lining the streets. In the evening, sit back, relax, and enjoy live music or local theatre where actors will whisk you away to another place and time.
For nightlife excitement, head to the famous George Street. Here, clubs, pubs, bars, and restaurants are stacked and crammed. Every evening, George Street blazes with energy, especially during the George Street Festival -- five days and nights of dynamic musical entertainment.
Here in St. John's, courteous and lively people will treat you as friends -- willing to send you in the right direction, help you on your way, or even take you there. Always happy to tell a tale, no matter how tall, just to make you smile. Certainly, this city is like no other.
Getting Here:
St. John's, the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the most easterly point in North America, located at the beginning of the Trans-Canada Highway Route 1, just 3 hours from Toronto, 4 from New York and 4.5 from London England.

Our Tracker Létourneau Organ
The Létourneau Organ was commissioned of a new organ to replace the Pels instrument in 1987. The committee retained the services of Dr. James Kibbie of the University of Michigan who recommended that the new instrument be a mechanical action organ with slider chests to add longevity and reliability for the proposed instrument.
After extended study, the committee decided that Orgues Létourneau Ltdée of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada, be engaged to build the instrument. The company placed Trinity on their opus list as its first instrument to be built in the United States, although it would be several years until the instrument came to fruition. In 1988, the initial design of 30 stops was drawn up by the music staff; Kathleen Bolthuis and Helen Stroh, and the consultant, Dr. Kibbie. The irregular shape of our Sanctuary presented challenges to the organ architect, Denis Campbell. The resulting design has unusual angles for the trackers, which link the keyboards to the pallets under the pipes.
The Great and Positive divisions were placed at the angled wall to provide clarity for the choir and congregation. The Swell and Pedal pipes are behind those divisions. Much of the mechanical portion of the organ is located in the former Sacristy.
Trinity’s previous Pels organ was dismantled and sold in 1991 to another church. In 1992, this Orgues Létourneau, was dedicated to Trinity Lutheran Church.

Exploring Southern New Brunswick
We recently traveled around Southern New Brunswick in November and loved the music events, walking trails and visiting Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John and points in between. The crowds are gone but there is still lots to visit including museums, art galleries and markets packed with fall produce and crafts. The browns and tans of the landscape combined with the low sun angles is ideal for photography. Thanks to Famille Arseneault for use of their lively music--

The life that I have written by Leo Marks from (2:05)2:32-
The life that I have was written on Christmas day 1943 by Leo Marks, who was a British cryptographer during Second World War and later became a playwright and screenwriter. One of my best colleagues, Farah Ghadiali, gave me an opportunity to compose for piano and soprano using an English text and I later orchestrated it for chamber ensemble for my final recital. The original version for soprano and piano will be performed in Farah’s recital on 14th September in Trinity Laban. If you are interested in comparing the two different instrumentations, please come and listen to her recital.
In his poems, Leo Marks included the memories of his girlfriend who died in a plane crash in Canada. This piece is closely connected with the text and his emotions. The music starts with calmness and long grand phrasing. In the first section, I imagined Leo Marks ruminating about the life that he has and it’s meaning repeatedly. Frequent chord changes, including dissonant (minor 7th and dominant 7th etc.) reflect his suffering caused by the loss of his partner and the soul-searching about the meaning of his life. When the accompaniment starts the homo-rhythmic section, I attempt to express that his feelings are gradually lifting and he is trying to overcome the pain. The dynamic is gradually getting louder and the spacing in the register of the notes is also widened in the next section. Long arpeggios phrases make the fluid and floating atmosphere that suggests that he seems to become more positive. After the tempo becomes slow and there is less movements, the brief instrumental interlude expresses memories of his girlfriend coming back to his mind once again. After this short transition section, which altered motifs in the beginning of the piece, a peaceful tune is played which makes me imagine heaven and a vast of field of grass with a gentle breeze. After the final dynamics increase, this piece goes to the end calmly and peacefully as if he closes eyes and falls into a deep slumber.
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours

Carlo Curley at LWG
A visit to see the newly restored organ of Longwood Gardens Music Conservatory in Kennett Square, PA, happened quite by chance due to Carlos longstanding friendship with Nelson Barden November 2011. Even though the conservatory was closed for Christmas decorating the red carpet was rolled out and memories were made. This video was made for another of Carlo's longtime friends Ernest Nichols (also a Fox pupil) so he could experience the amazing sonic sound. This was also the last time I got to record Carlo prior to his death on August 11, 2012 so this tune was oddly fitting...

Place- St. John's Episcopal Church - 3/11/07 Clip#8
This videoclip#8 covers (a) the time before the service, including (a) the short drive to church (with Kellly as passenger) with the incredibly talented Joseph Arthur (who is releasing a new CD on 4/17/07 called Let's Just Be) singing his song Don't Tell Your Eyes on the CD called Nuclear Destruction playing on the car CD player singing and (b) outside views of the church and (c) entering church.
St. John's Episcopal Church is a charming growing small church with unusual services, including dialogue sermons led by (The Rev. Dr.) Rayner W. Hesse, Jr. Pastor, affectionately called Rusty. The compelling services also feature an eclectic mix of songs and hymns, sung by the choir and led by the music director, Eric Jennings.
