It was an honour to be considered for such a prestigious award and the duo were grateful to get a nod like this so early in their practice.

Last year was a busy one, with exhibitions at the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Calgary, SKEW Gallery in Calgary, and GALERIE DIVISION in Montreal.

Dave and Jenn also showed work at both the Art Toronto fair as well as at "NEXT: The Invitational Exhibition of Emerging Art" in Chicago. Also, the duo was honoured to be selected for the 2010 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artist Award.

Now, after ending last year with a research trip through Germany and Amsterdam, the two are back in the studio working.

Updates will be posted to the main homepage as they come up.

Thank-you.

David Foy & Jennifer Saleik studied together and gained their Fine Arts Diplomas in 2003 from Edmonton's Grant MacEwan College. The following year they formed the Dave and Jenn team, prior to earning their BFAs with distinction from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary. Their unique approach to painting was described by Nancy Tousley, the Calgary Herald art critic, as "distinctive and engaging" and "highly innovative in both form and content, produced with a speed and assurance I have seen only once before." Similarly the award adjudication panel praised their "really original work."
