Verne Busby

“My current paintings analyze forms and spaces, not from a traditional or prescribed point of view, but from an intuitive, visceral one. Internal and external landscapes play off each other becoming transitory images. My intent is to express, in paint, the illuminating and profoundly moving chaotic forces that provide an unlimited visual pageant.”

Biography
  • Verne Busby

Meet Verne Busby, a seasoned creator with over 40 years of experience in various artistic pursuits.

Proudly rooted in the Edmonton, Alberta community for most of his life, Verne’s journey began in the field of education where he earned his BA in 1972, closely followed by a Secondary Education Teaching Certificate in 1974. In 1975, he expanded his credentials by obtaining a permanent British Columbia secondary teaching certificate before returning to Edmonton in 1977 to delve deeper into the world of design at Grant McEwan College Design Arts and the University of Alberta.

In 1981, Verne ventured into new territory by co-founding an independent design and illustration studio, which quickly became known for its dynamic creativity and diverse clientele. Alongside his professional artistic pursuits, Verne generously shares his wealth of knowledge and passion with others, serving as a part-time instructor at the University of Alberta Faculty of Art and Design, Visual Communications. Additionally, he nurtures creativity and community engagement by hosting biweekly life drawing sessions at the Edmonton Wecan Society, Harcourt House Annex.

Through his dedication to both his craft and his community, Verne continues to leave a lasting impact on the artistic landscape of Edmonton and beyond.
