Celine Cimon
Born in Quebec City in 1959, Celine has been developing and perfecting her woodcarving approach and colour style in a self-taught manner since 1984. Celine's love of sculpture expanded to the painting medium in 2003. Creating shapes on canvas allows her to continue to sculptural tradition while exploring new techniques.
John Climenhage
Born in Brockville in 1968, John has been painting, teaching and exhibiting throughout Canada and the USA since 1989. His painting incorporates theories of quantum physics and existential philosophies in a two dimensional field upon which the painting occurs as an event.
Nancy De Boni
A graduate of the Ontario College of Art (1972), Nancy’s work invokes the story-telling aspect in a manner that would allow the audience to add their own interpretation. Her present work is mostly de-peopled. The interest now is retaining the narrative core of the past work, only suggesting the possibility of a human presence.
Maureen Eustace
A graduate of the Ontario College of Art (1992), Maureen portrays the mysterious and the spiritual; the presence of what once was and the unexplainable; through the use of colour and construction. The joy of working with paint and allowing the unexpected to take place is her main passion.
Susan Fothergill
Toronto based artist is an award-winning fine art printmaker. Her work has been widely exhibited and appears in national magazines, as well as feature films and television. Fothergill’s provocative images are immediately recognizable, and reflect a tension of opposites within the feminine, being both strong and soft simultaneously.
Tamara Jaworska
A renowned Canadian fiber artist and weaver in the discipline of tapestry / gobelin, Tamara’s tapestries have won her national and international recognition. Her skill as an artist-weaver belongs to the disciplines that were born more than five hundred years ago.
Chung-Im Kim
Exploring the life cycle of plants; for example the physical balance maintained between the visible portion aboveground and the less visible below. He hopes to evoke a sense of the refined energy that plants demonstrate, and the awesome ability of continuous rebirth.
Christy Haldane
Christy recycles readily found man made material such as glass and integrating it with stone, concrete or steel, she references the modern constructed world in which we live. Her sculptures are a celebration of ingenuity and creativity, but also an exploration of the fragility of the environment and it’s effect .
Victoria Ward
Victoria Ward's subjects and materials can change but one thing doesn't change. Always the viewer gets the deep, disquieting sense that whatever humans build onto nature is vulnerable to nature's dominance, and perhaps even its wrath. Man's homes and buildings seem to tip, swirl, or otherwise appear unstable and transitory. The murky colours draw you in, even as they make you question the very ground beneath your feet.
