Artists on last year’s tour

Barbara’s paper collage pieces are made using her own handprinted monotype papers, creating abstracted landscapes that echo memory and reverence for the natural world.

With over 50 years experience in ceramics, Brenda bases her “funktional” work on Newfoundland icons, and creatures from frogs to dragons. Nature’s treasures, from miniature driftwood to panoramic vistas inspire her sculptures.

Come take a breath of fresh air. Feel the breeze in your hair. Have a moment with yourself. Feel moody and sexy. Curious? Come feel that too!

An award winning artist working in sterling silver and other metals along with natural crystals and gems. Exploration, experimentation and moments of discovery inspire me to dive in and create!

Christine Benson is a relief printmaker, Ontario College of Art and Design graduate and owner of Journey Through the Arts- a multi-faceted arts organization and teaching facility. Her detailed linocuts are inspired by the beauty found in nature.

Ontario landscapes interpreted through bold acrylic that will brighten up any space. As well as water colour birds and wildlife that transform into little pieces of happiness.

In my painting I keep my focus on drawing, whatever the materials or subject matter. Drawing is the foundation. The word “draw” means “pull” or “drag” something, hence drawing from life. An effort, but sometimes magic can occur.

Kathryn lives her art – it’s reflected in her garden and use of textiles and fibres. Her watercolours and drawings express themes within the garden and local landscapes.

Les Robling is a local artist specializing in landscape scenes from the local district. His work is generally realistic with some imaginative effects.

My goal is not to document subjects or to make statements, but to make an emotional connection with the viewer allowing them to explore their own spirit and to inspire them as well.

On the tour I will be offering one-of-a-kind pillows, framed pieces and other unique items that will illustrate to newcomers to the fine art of art rug hooking, just how varied it can be.

Martina Munroe is Multi Media Fibre Artist who explores the natural world and it’s mythology through rug hooking, knitting and stitching.

My Lady Series began in Spring of 2021 with a desire to paint what is most enjoyable to me – portraits of ladies faces that exude not just a pleasant smile but sometimes annoyance, sadness, attitude and anger.

Pamela is a fine artist well known for the variety of subject matter, size and media she uses. Everything inspires her! Realistic and abstract paintings, block prints, mixed media and drawing can all be found in her relaxed and welcoming gallery.

Everybody can use a little shine and sparkle in their lives!

Painting, collage and illustration.

Using earthenware clay allows for endless possibilities of layering slip, drawing, and colourful food safe glazes. Inspired by textiles and my love of gardening, my pottery is meant for everyday pleasure and special occasions.

Weaving allows me to connect to a very ancient art form that requires an intensely contemplative form of creativity.
