Leading-edge technology meets artistic process.
Jerre Davidson, Glass Artist, walks us through how she interprets dance movements into 3D sculpture by integrating the principles and practices of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math).

Watch her process of creating these exquisite motion-capture dance movements into sculptural shapes 'frozen in glass'.

Be sure to check out her exhibition at artgalleryonline.ca opening Thursday, January 7th, 2021.

Newly released limited edition prints on canvas, 2

Newly released limited edition prints on canvas, 24" x 30", from the Series 'Honouring the Four Seasons'. These paintings were created in 2005, as a set. When Jacobson held an exhibition in Nanaimo B.C. in the late summer of 2005, he met Norval Morrisseau for the very first time. He showed Morrisseau the four original paintings, each measuring 36" x 48". "Norvals eyes lit up like Christmas trees. I knew then in that exact moment that Norval knew and acknowledged me as a fellow master artist. It’s something between him and I that will remain with me forever." - Mark Anthony Jacobson⁠
Now available through Rodrigues Contemporary - link in bio.

It doesn't surprise me that Darlene Hassall was in

It doesn't surprise me that Darlene Hassall was inspired by Egon Schiele's Self-Portrait. Hassall,s graphic design background has shaped the way she paints as she distorts her subjects, much like Schiele, himself. Her views are anything but conventional, and as you may know by now, I have a sweet spot for the unconventional. ⁠

Prodigal Child - "Tend to your garden, prodigal ch

Prodigal Child - "Tend to your garden, prodigal child, for you are the one who must keep it. Make it bright with health and shine your light upon it. Nobody else will do that for you. You are the one who holds the torch, so make it bright with health for them. You are their golden example. A beacon of hope. Their prodigal child. Tend to your garden, for you are the one who must keep it." - Ricky Schaede.⁠
This was a deeply personal painting for Schaede. They are all personal, but this one holds a special place. ⁠

Marcelo Suaznabar is a surreal artist. His works

Marcelo Suaznabar is a surreal artist. His works are bizarre and illogical, yet painted so well, they could be conceivable. At one of his exhibitions (2012), we entitled it "Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming". This is how I see Suaznabar marrying the rational and the unconscious mind to come up with his magically absurd images. I have been a huge fan of his work for a very long time. ⁠
Shown: 'Esfera' or the Sphere by Marcelo Suaznabar. Check us out for more of his work.

The unique architectural framework of each of his

The unique architectural framework of each of his compositions is Peter Adams' trademark. Adams' very deliberate mark making is easily identifiable as his own. This Glasgow-born painter, now living in Collingwood, has received numerous awards and grants, and there is no question they were well deserved. ⁠
His work highlights the complexity of calm immersion in nature, juxtaposing realism with abstraction, seeking serenity in a frenetic and chaotic world. ⁠
New works in Gallery now. Visit link in bio.⁠

Inspiration, interpretation and imagination, that'

Inspiration, interpretation and imagination, that's how Bill Schwarz creates his art. ⁠
Inspiration comes from his travels and from visiting art museums. He brings his sketches home, along with a myriad of paraphernalia, so that when he comes back to it, he feels what it is that inspired him. When he starts his painting, he interprets his inspiration in his own language, using his imagination when creating beautifully skewed images of buildings, cars, boats, directional signs, whatever he happens to see in a landscape.⁠
New works are in the Gallery now. Follow the link in bio.

Visiting my friend, artist, educator, posing besid

Visiting my friend, artist, educator, posing beside one (of many!) of her very powerful pieces, 'Courage', part of her Grace Collection, symbolizing spirit, freedom and beauty, (all of the things that make up CJ Shelton).

Every single time I walk into CJ's studio, I find myself at peace. Her studio is a calm, serene space. Everyone who steps into her magical world can feel that same feeling.

Want to feel that?? Visit her in her studio at the historic Alton Mill Arts Centre where she overlooks the rapids of the Shaw's Creek.

Ah, the power of art.
