About the artists: 

Lesley and Al Kroach have a long history of working together with different mediums. Their journey in creating art together began in the 1970s when they fell in love with the world of stained glass. Since then, they have evolved through painting, printmaking, and photography. 

Lesley graduated as an illustrator from art college and has worked as a graphic designer for over 10 years. She has seen her paintings and serigraphs on display at art shows and galleries and has hosted art shows on Stoney Lake, bringing local artists together. 

Al is an avid photographer who is fascinated by the way in which the simplest of subjects can be given a whole new dimension with the right shot. He has adapted his photography with digital and mixed media to make interesting and unique pieces. 

Today, Lesley and Al have arrived at fused glass, discovering their passion for the medium on a chance encounter while traveling in Florida. Since then, the pair has taken courses across North America and built their own glass studio at their home on Stoney Lake.
