Sheila Bannerman |
In her early schooldays Sheila’s favourite subjects were art and
nature study. Today, as an artist, the wonder and the beauty of nature
still draws her attention.
Most of her work is painted in the studio using watercolours or acrylics
with her own photos and on site sketches serving as reference. Sheila is
interested in the relationship of shapes and colours to each other and
of each subject to its setting.
Through her art she seeks to give glory to God who is the source of all
creation and creativity. Sheila paints natural subjects in acrylic or watercolour. Commissioned works include portraits and “Happy Memory Paintings,” which combine paintings of still life objects, flowers and photographs. |

Terry Best | Terry is returning to
painting after many years of avoidance. Long, long ago she went to U of

certificate. Later in life she was a woodworker, owning her own
business, "Woodwright", creating custom furniture in a Flesherton
studio. Although she is a full time teacher with the Bluewater Board of Education, she has found time to create landscapes, still lifes, and portraits in acrylic. She says, "I like to paint when it makes me giggle. Then I know I have hit on the right composition or colour or brushstroke." terrybest665@hotmail.com |

Eleanor Brownridge has chosen glass as her medium because it is so dynamic -- always changing as reflected and transmitted light play with the colours and textures. The sun moves across the sky and her translucent sculptures and windows are transformed. Room lights bounce on the opaque glass plates, bowls and masks. Visit her new studio in the Pretty River Valley by chance or appointment and watch make stained and fusion glass items.

Charles Davies |
Charles Davies developed a passion for furniture making at a young age, and went on to earn a BA in Fine Arts from Guelph University, complete the cabinet making program at Humber College (where later he would return to teach), and gain excellent practical experience at a top custom house in Toronto.
Approximately seven years ago, Charles established his own cabinet shop
in Meaford where he makes fine custom freestanding furniture and
built-ins, including custom kitchens.
Charles
works in all styles and materials, but the common denominator in his
work is the quality of the materials he uses and what’s called
“designing along the grain”: “Grain pattern has a big impact on the
success or failure of a design.
Selecting and sawing wood with care is as important as good
joinery: they are both necessary to turn an idea into fine furniture.”

Joan Folinsbee |
Joan Folinsbee has lived and worked in Toronto, Thornhill and the
Eastern Townships. She has also travelled widely to Alberta and British
Columbia, Nova Scotia and the Florida Keys in her van with her part-lab,
Tinker, stopping to paint when a land, water or mountainscape appealed
to her. Her early Ontario College of Art influences- the French Impressionists and the Group of Seven never really left her. Later, after a stint teaching art at Collingwood Collegiate she enrolled at York University and came under the influence of the American Abstract Expressionists. She has broad experience with media and techniques, feeling that only sound structure and vitality can turn a creation into a work of art.Today, she lives and works in Thornbury and its environs, integrating into her work the Niagara Escarpment, the cool blue waters of Georgian Bay, and the people who live there.

Her commissioned metal pieces are mostly painting on antique cross-cut saws. Bonnie's work is expressed in high realism where attention to detail is an important aspect of her painting.

A longtime Wedding and Portrait Photographer in Toronto and the Southern Georgian Bay area, I have been painting exclusively in Watercolours for ten years now. For me, there is something magical about the interaction of pigment, water and paper -- what we plan is not what we get! Just as in life, we start with an idea, design an expression of that idea, assemble our imagination, enthusiasm and energy and begin. Then -- let go of the rope! It is in the letting go that the magic happens -- in Watercolour and in Life. I paint in Toronto and exhibit and sell at Visual Arts Mississaga twice a year, but most of my work is done at Applegate Farm near Walters Falls. |

Taylor Ledden is a fifth-generation Canadian born in Quebec and raised in Ontario. After retiring as a technical writer, Taylor became re-acquainted with woodturning. This was triggered in part by the gift of an old, hand-made lathe, and in part by a long-standing love for unusual Canadian woods. These woods include lilac (beautiful purple grain), birdseye maple, curly maple, Manitoba maple, British Columbia yellow cedar burl, black cherry, black walnut, etc. He occasionally uses exotic woods such as rosewood, cocobolo, and ebony. | |

After moving to the Georgian Bay area in 1995 I
was inspired by the rolling farm fields, as well as the rougher Canadian
Shield. It was then that I chose oil painting as a medium and started to
interpret my surroundings. I have expanded my interests from landscapes
into a wide range of subject matters, my flower garden being one of my
favourite sources. I have a great love for figurative drawing and
portrait painting and I have branched out into mixed media when I am
fortunate enough to have a live model. http://www3.sympatico.ca/tnlee/ |

For more than 50 years I’ve shared my love of the changing seasons, animals, birds trees, seas through my paintings and photography. Every day brings something new. Most of my paintings now are from photographs. If you have a treasured scene or pet, I’d be happy to transform it into a painting.

for painting from the moment I put brush to paper. The glorious
properties of watercolors captured my heart and I now pursue art
seriously, taking classes and workshops and spending many hours drawing
and painting. For me,
painting is a combination of exploration and intuition. I love to start
with an idea and just let the paint flow to wherever my heart and soul
take it.

Paulette, who has explored painting and collage, has in the last four years focused her energy on sculpture. Influenced by the work of British sculptor, Henry Moore, her figurative plaster sculptures are built on a wire and cloth armature, using the additive or molding process. Once a sculpture has reached the desired overall size, the plaster medium can then be finished with a hint of colour in a patina that is her own. email: paulettegwest@aol.com |

Kathie's formal training includes graduation from the Graphic Design
program at Sheridan College. In 1990 Kathie began to see the potential
for personal expression using watercolour. Since that time she has also
turned her brushes to acrylics and canvas.
Kathie contributes regularly to shows in the Collingwood and Hanover
area, and was awarded second prize for a watercolour portrait in the

prize for an acrylic in the Walkerton Juried Art Show in April, 2009.
Flowers, landscapes, homes, portraits and still-life are all themes for
Kathie’s palette. She is
