About Röni Jurgensen

I was born in Senneterre, Quebec and have resided in many places across Canada with my Air force family. After moving to Calgary, Alberta in 1979, I worked with the City of Calgary until entering the 4 year Visual Communications course at the Alberta College of Art and Design from 1981 – 1985. Upon completion of my studies there, I started working as an illustrator, art director and designer with various design companies and advertising agencies in the city.

In 1989, I began freelancing and worked with various direct clients and design companies until moving to the Slocan Valley in 2014. I continue working here as a designer, art director, artist and volunteer on the board of the Hidden Garden Gallery in New Denver. I have painted and practiced sculpture and various other mediums since the early years of my life.

I thrive on collaborating with others and creating visual solutions that engage the viewer. I have taught classes in design, painting and run life drawing programs during the winter months with our local artists here in BC.
