Periodic Pathway

Tyler Lemermeyer's work is bold and graphic, with vibrant and minimal colour palettes. He constantly explores the balance between realism and abstraction in his work, using playful and lighthearted themes to inspire delight in the viewer. Lemermeyer draws inspiration primarily from his surroundings, often depicting objects, portraits, and landscapes of the places he finds himself. He has been a practising illustrator and muralist in Calgary since 2012, and he is always looking for new opportunities to share his work with more people.

Kiran Rai (KRAI) is a multidisciplinary Punjabi artist based out of Canada. Well versed in fine arts, design, and architecture, Kiran fuses her love of creating with embracing the public accessibility of the arts. She strongly believes in design by the people, for the people.

Engaging with topics surrounding women and their cultural, digital, and diasporic identities, she reflects and celebrates the collisions of ethnographics, while also working to decolonize western frameworks and investigate key social issues. Her recent artistic endeavours include showcasing in galleries, live painting, public murals, and NFT projects.

Always interested in experimenting with different styles and mediums, Kiran has completed her Masters in Architecture in which she lived in Tokyo part-time. She is also an avid world traveller, plant

mom, and iced chai connoisseur. She is curious to see how design and art can intersect to provide meaningful connections in everyday life.

Maria Galura made her dreams come true since being fascinated by balloons at age 8. Today, her balloon art installations have shared smiles, wonder and whimsy to Calgarians. Photos of her balloon art have been shared across Canada, US, Australia, UK, Russia, South Africa, Brazil and Mexico.

Creating one of a kind balloon art as community offerings, she finds delightful color play, various sizes of biodegradable balloons and textures for statement pieces. Maria's design theory begins with optimizing space and layering experiential elements to deliver unforgettable balloon moments for the audience. Be it outdoor in arctic temperatures or the heatwave: she is equipped with grace, parka or sunscreen respectively!

She is a proud Filipino immigrant and is based in Calgary with her husband and 3 daughters.
