Exhibiting Artists

Cher Anderson

“My passion for nature’s beauty, chaos and wonder has lead me to create images that bring to life the spirit of what I see in quiet places, and try to make you feel the awe and the Essence of its Beauty. Life is a miracle – enjoy it, experience it and share it!”

Rosemarie Armstrong

Earth, water and atmosphere inform my artistic practise. What I experience in the outdoors is translated into paintings which illuminate these landscapes and seascapes; oil paintings created to share the beauty as well as the juxtaposition of calm and chaos that defines our natural world. Colour, composition and light are integral to the development of my work, giving it a multi-dimensional, illuminated quality. I find mankind's quest for progress in conflict with the preservation of our rural...

Del-Bourree Bach

One of the best ways we artists have of giving back to the world that inspires us is to donate our artwork and our time. I hope that my paintings have and will continue to raise awareness of the important conservation work we all need to do. 

Patricia Banks

"I am intrigued by the fleeting balance between strength and fragility in nature. Drawing inspiration from the natural environment I bear witness to the beauty, interdependence, and sanctity of all creation. I seek to share this glory with viewers so that they may also pause and reflect, and feel as if they are here, in the moment.”

Suzanne Barrett Justis

The artist Gustave Courbet once said, "the beautiful is in nature and it is encountered under most diverse forms of reality. Once it is found, it belongs to art, or rather to the artist who discovers it." I have always been enraptured by the natural world and strive to recreate what moves and excites me with my art.  I have always been captivated by animals and the many " diverse forms of reality" nature holds. As a kid, I was always drawing something, be it the maple tree in the backyard, our...

Unlike so many investments we make, visual art can freeze in time what may otherwise pass us by, and surrounding oneself with art can provide a much needed refuge, a gently pressed break from the rush of life. A glance at a painting of an expansive sunset, a portrait of an innocent child, an animal captured in it's natural habitat or a fascinating abstract can let us connect to our feelings from that moment in time, providing depth, clarity, excitement or perspective.  I believe a scene of...

Linda Besse

Recognizing nature's own artistry, Linda works to incorporate that intricate beauty in her original oil paintings.

Lucrezia Bieler

I am using single sheets of black paper and scissors to make complex cut images.  To me the material and the production process reflects the delicacy and also the fragility of nature. All things are interconnected and interwoven and have an impact on each other. My work discusses the interactions in nature: the eternal flow of life.

"I take great pride that art is created from my love affair with wood. The wild forces of nature produce my material. I have learned not to judge a piece of wood by its exterior appearance, for beneath the surface I can take it anywhere I want just by using my imagination. What I try to achieve with my sculptures is to touch the innermost of human emotions. I am most respectful and caring towards our environment."

Holly Cannon

God has given me an amazing gift, and my passion is to share it with the world.

Kim Chase

I like to celebrate the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the natural world through my artistic expressions of animals and wildlife. My collection showcases work that capture the essence of nature's gift—its boundless beauty, resilience, and transformative power. With each brushstroke, I try to portray the indescribable, instilling in my creations a sense of reverence for our planet. My artwork beckons the viewer to pause, to reconnect with the vastness of nature's embrace, as we...

RoseMarie Condon

The Canadian wilderness has always been a major inspiration for my paintings, drawings and photography. Plein air painting, sketching in watercolour, acrylic or oils I have trekked, camped and rafted throughout Canada. Life drawing is a discipline I have kept through a half century of creating art both illustrative and fine art. I share my love of drawing, painting and sculpting with children and tirelessly support the arts in the City of Kawartha Lakes where my studio sits amidst farms and...

Brent Cooke

One of the challenges I enjoy most in the creation of a piece, is trying to convey movement and life in my subjects. Despite the fact that they are made of metal and stone, for me it is essential that the scultpure be "fluid" and moving. If the sculpture compels a person to touch it or turn it or interact in any way then the piece meets my hopes of further engaging the viewer beyond simply visual appreciation. Also, with many of my subjects being involved in pursuit activities, I rely on the...

Lynden Cowan

As a self- taught artist, I prefer oil paint on canvas and for the most part triple zero brushes for working on fine detail. Paintings are meticulously rendered from multiple layers of thinly applied paint, and small strokes pick up the preferred natural light. Wild landscape and highly detailed scenes are my subject of choice and I strive to include the viewer in my visual journey and interpretations of the naturel world and human nature.

Nick Day

  I believe the human mammal has found it increasingly more difficult to move away from our fast evolving & more technological ‘world’, where the environment is badly damaged in our thirst for knowledge, and is neglected to the point of justification & denial. What I strive to do in my portrayal of Nature, is to bring the onlooker into the subject's world using basic human instincts such as pity, without being sentimental, whilst at the same time illustrating a little of the fascinating...

Every day it seems, we turn on our media and see pain and strife and ugliness. But that is not the world which we were given. The world we were given is actually extraordinarily ordered and beautiful. My job as an artist is to continually help illuminate that. Every painting I do is defined by that overarching objective. I consider my work to be nothing more than a simple depiction and celebration of the miracles that surround us every day.
