 Theresa is a contemporary artist from Medicine Hat, Alberta and is the owner of
ArtWorks in RED Studio . She uses a luscious application of paint and mundane household elements such as text, coffee, salt and paper in her artwork. Her use of vibrant color, layers, texture and interplay of light draw the viewer to look deeper into each and every art piece. Her current artwork involves painting urban and natural landscapes of western Canada. Historic Buildings, florals and trees are part of her favorite themes to paint. The imagery in her current painting series specifically reference Medicine Hat's downtown buildings as an area with history and deep personal connection. Seeing the beauty in common subjects that often go unnoticed, is what fuels my passion for painting. As an artist, a westerner, a Canadian and a woman, I have stories to tell about our shared environment. I capture the things people walk by daily, without really taking the time to see, or look for the story behind the subject and commit those to canvas. Theresa does personalized commission work for interior spaces, paints to exhibit and sell, as well as teaches individuals and groups. To book a class or a painting project, go to

On October 1st, the provincial minimum wage rose once again from $12.20 to $13.60, on its way to $15.00/hour by 2018. As regulatory costs and taxes continue to increase, businesses are finding it harder and harder to keep up. Our Chamber of Commerce network continues to lobby the Provincial Government to halt minimum wage increases until the social and economic effects of previous increases can be measured and assessed. Read our policies on Minimum Wage
here and let us know how your business has been affected by the minimum wage increases by emailing

A few weeks ago, the Medicine Hat News reported that the City of Medicine Hat is planning to drill exploratory wells to look for helium. If that activity bears fruit, it could be a boon for Medicine Hat. Which begs the questions, what is helium and what makes it an opportunity worth pursuing? Although best known for its use in party balloons, helium is primarily used in high-tech industries such as health care, electronics and aerospace.
