Connie Wheaton: FAA Artist in Residence

August 20, 2022 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Connie Wheaton wants to celebrate the city of Fredericton and its true inner beauty through her
abstract realism art.

Artist Connie Wheaton.


In her first residency for the Fredericton Arts Alliance, Aug. 15–21, Wheaton proposes to sketch and
paint the city’s historic and modern buildings, as well as its lifestyle, in watercolour and acrylic. She
plans to travel around the city during the week, taking photos to paint later.


“I am inspired by everything around me. I am extremely versatile and paint anything from pets,
florals, to large abstract pieces,” she said. “I love painting the city of Fredericton.”


This series of Fredericton paintings will feature not only the iconic buildings of the city, but also
lesser-known locales and streets: alleys, building sides, houses, and other undiscovered Fredericton
treasures that can bring joy to many people.

Wheaton is a fan of and connected to Fredericton’s heritage despite being from Shelbourne,
Ontario. She likes how everything is intertwined and how everyone is familiar with one another.
During her week-long residency, Wheaton will do live sketching and painting. She will be posting her
travels around the city on her social media, Facebook and Instagram. Her pop-up event will take
place the weekend of Aug. 20–21 at noon at Picaroons Round house, in which her artworks will be
available for viewing, queries, and perhaps even purchases.

The Fredericton Arts Alliance is grateful for the support of the City of Fredericton and Downtown Fredericton in making these residencies possible.

Jason Willcox is a dedicated multi-species angler from Fredericton NB. He has caught every species of gamefish In the province, but prefers to chase Musky or Atlantic salmon on the fly.

Jason works at Minnow Tackle Shop on King Street in Fredericton, and can usually be found on one of the province’s rivers during his free time. When he isn’t fishing, he’s likely to be tying flies in preparation for his next adventure. “I got a fly tying kit when I was 16, and tried it out for a little bit. I managed to catch a few trout and smallmouth bass on some of the bugs I tied and then gave up on it until my mid twenties. One day I was given to opportunity to chase Atlantic Salmon but found that I didn’t have any flies for them, so I dug out my fly tying kit and stayed up all night tying as many different flies as I had the materials for. I hooked my first salmon the next morning on a Red Eagle and I’ve stuck with it ever since!”

With over a decade of fly tying experience, he now ties a variety of different styles that include everything from traditional salmon flies to foot-long baitfish imitations for musky and striped bass. His favourite fish to target on the fly rod is musky, but he enjoys the challenges that come with all species and types of fishing.

Snotty Nose Rez Kids is a Canadian Hip-Hop duo of Haisla (Indigenous) descent from Kitimat, BC. Rappers Yung Trybez and Young D formed the duo in 2016, releasing two albums in 2017 with their second, The Average Savage, winning them them Best Hip Hop Artist at the Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA’s), cemented them on 2018’s Top 10 list of the coveted Polaris Music Prize, and landed them a 2019 Juno Nomination for best Indigenous Music Album. The group toured heavily in Canada with appearances in New York City, Seattle and Darwin, Australia. They quickly gained notoriety for their energetic, inspiring and thought provoking performances.

Coming off a busy 2019 releasing their third album, TRAPLINE, touring North America, Australia and Mexico, landing stellar news pieces from Complex,Vice, Exclaim!, Okayplayer, and The FADER, and wrapping the year with multiple awards and millions of streams, SNRK were poised for 2020 to be their breakout year. Complex named them in their ‘Ones to Watch for 2020.’ After announcing their first 23 city US headline tour, COVID hit and all plans were abandoned. They released their debut EP, Born Deadly, and landed various sync deals with network shows Trickster and Resident Alien, and feature films Monkey Beach and Inconvenient Indian. Their 2019 single, Boujee Natives, achieved over 1.5 million streams and became their first music video to reach over 2 million views.

As COVID restrictions began to ease in 2021, SNRK were back in studio, creating their most personal project to date, LIFE AFTER, released in October 2021. The release landed them on the covers of Exclaim Magazine, Range Magazine and The Georgia Straight. Their hit single, Uncle Rico, debuted on BET Jams and went into rotation on MTV. After a year and half SNRK were back on the road for leg 1 of their Life After Tour with 13 shows in the US, and have announced a second leg for 2022 with another 20+ dates in Canada and the US.

Picking back up where they left off in 2020, SNRK are set for 2022 to be their breakout year.

Sophie Angbao: FAA Artist in Residence 🎎

July 31, 2022 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

With her whimsical, baby-like creatures, Sophie Angbao aims to break out of the classical notions of
what constitutes fine art.

Sophie Angbao portrait
Sopie Angbao

Angbao is an international student from United States studying textiles at New Brunswick College of
Craft and Design. She has a passion for needle felting with wool. From this, she has managed to
design and create distinctive sculptures.

“I find it interesting to let my hands create a character that has not been seen before,” she said.
As a one-of-a-kind doll maker, Angbao is interested in exploring different forms of dolls and working
with a new style of artistic work. She wants to push the boundaries of what dolls are and how they
can be considered fine art.

“I’m going to define fine art in my own way in order to break out from traditional views of what it
is,” she said. “I’ll add conceptual images to the body of my whimsical creatures.”

Angbao was hired for a summer job in the isolated community of Knowlesville. She will share her
experience of breaking out of her comfort zone during her residency, July 25-31. She will make five
whimsical dolls in an effort to convey what she is feeling in this new lifestyle.

The dolls are unique characters with different appearances and personalities. They represent a
reflection of her emotions.

“Dolls are like my own personal journal describing where I was, how I was feeling in the time I was
making them,” she said. “It’s a physical reminder of where I’ve been and where I am in my journey
of life.”

She will have five of her own dolls in her pop-up, which will be in the woods behind Knowlesville Art
and Nature Centre, a not-for-profit rural learning centre based in South Knowlesville. She will make
the dolls’ bodies out of colourful wool felt and their heads and arms out of baked clay and acrylic
paint. Later announcements will have more details about her pop-up.

The Fredericton Arts Alliance is grateful for the support of the City of Fredericton and Downtown Fredericton in making these residencies possible.
