A Land for All Seasons is the title for our 2017 exhibition, which takes place February 5 – March 5, 2017 at Homer Watson House and Gallery in Kitchener, Ontario.  Opening reception is Sunday, February 5 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm.

The show is a collection of celebratory images of Canada, revealing an exuberant use of colour and a love for landscape.  The styles range from realism to abstraction, and reflect the different ways each artist honours the peace, the openness, and the freedoms of this country.

Participating artists are: Deborah Dryden (encaustic), Carol Hughes (watercolour), Kim Johnston (oils, watercolour and pastel), Mary Karavos (paper collage), Jean Loney (mosaic), Leslie Miles (soft pastels and mixed media), Gail Root (oils and chalk pastel), and Susan Strachan Johnson (fibre mixed media).

NEW WORK FROM LESLIE MILES

Zen series, #3

Zen Series, #3

Leslie must have been doing a lot of yoga lately, because we know she doesn’t smoke! At our upcoming Eight Dimensions show, she will be taking a playful break from the pace of her plein air paintings. Her new “Zen” series features abstract paintings that both hint at meditation and mesmerize the viewer.
