John Adams

The beauty of nature is my inspiration - the big sky, the hills, the movement of the wind and, of course, the trees. My passion is traveling by motorcycle, discovering the beautifully twisty roads.

Thomas Aitken & Kate Hyde

Thomas Aitken and Kate Hyde work from their studio in Warsaw, Ontario. Thomas creates the forms in porcelain and Kate embellishes them with her paintings. Their creations are an elegant combination of the practical and the whimsical.

Karen Bowen

Peter Colbert

My background in commercial art taught me a lot about creating new, unique paintings. Colour and light are my keys.

Greg Coman

I open my senses to the world around me, quietly observing. If by serendipity, something catches my eye, I will stop in my tracks and utilize the camera to try and capture that decisive moment.

Lisa Compton

My inspiration is drawn from nature. When choosing a subject, I paint what I love. Given the uncertainty of today’s world, my art is a welcome tether to feeling at peace with myself and the world.

Denys Golden

My abstract pieces are meant to express movements and aspects of the modern life, as I see them.
Influenced by my architectural background, I developed a new painting style that is structured, yet bold and expressive.

Maria Iva

Maria Iva’s work invites viewers to experience the beauty and energy of nature through her distinctive use of color and oil palette knife painting technique. The intersection of impressionism, a love for nature and a keen appreciation of color results in captivating and resonant landscape paintings.

John Kinsella

My paintings are personal meditations on the beauty and restorative power of nature. I believe the people, the land and all living things on earth are interconnected.

Bill Lunshof

Bill is a visual artist working in oils. He likes to capture scenes of ordinary life and is inspired by light and its effect on things both man-made and natural.

Pamela Mayhew

In my art practice, I explore the space between the abstract and realism. This liminal space focuses on the memory and comfort of recognition. A quilt of composition with a hint of the unexpected.

Louise Scott-Bushell

By oil painting with thin layers, I create the magic of representational realism and portray the beauty I see, both in the natural world and in the objects and tools we use in everyday life.

Marsha Strycharz

Inspired by the Dutch Masters and Hyperrealism, I create luminous paintings of common objects. Though simple in composition and subject matter, the stillness and quietude of my works offer a deeper emotional experience than what visually meets the eye.

Rick Taylor

In my urban scenes, I want to portray the atmosphere of older Toronto neighbourhoods, in my northern landscapes create Canada’s beauty.

Barb TenEycke

My focus is creating works that convey calm, excitement or stir emotion. I aim to produce landscapes, both real and imagined, that are infused with ethereal light, depth and hope.

My paintings investigate themes of unfolding energy and renewal. Flowers and branches inspire me with their vibrant colours and organic forms. I further explore colour systematically in gridded studies and in brushstroke works on panel.

I create visual art inspired by nature and classic photography techniques. I see the beauty in ordinary things and nature around me. I love inspiring others to see beauty in details that would normally go unnoticed.
