Upcoming Gallery Events

EXHIBIT CLOSING: It All Starts with a Scribble

-

This exhibit closes April 30 at 2pm. Please call 519 599 3681 prior to visiting to ensure the gallery space is open for walk throughs. 

Beverley Smith presents a new exhibit that dives into the excitement of creating and experimenting. Featuring vibrant mixed media works that fuse woven beadwork, paints, markers, and a whole lot of energetic scribbling.

The show highlights artwork primarily created over the past two years at La Macina Di San Cresci, an artist residency in the Tuscan hills. After each residency, Beverley carefully transported her pieces back to her studio, nestled in the hills south of Thornbury, where the artmaking continued.

EXHIBIT OPENING: OUTSIDE INSIDE

-

A new exhibit is coming to The Gallery at L.E. Shore, inspired by a deep love of painting the beauty of Ontario and getting better at it along the way. 

Holly Kee and Delia Eastwood have spent most of their lives in the Great Lake region of Ontario and feel that the Niagara Escarpment and our freshwater lakes to be large and generous characters, rewarding us just by being themselves. These artists strive to honour the beauty of their home’s lakes, rocks and trees through drawing and painting. 

While no work can fully convey nature’s wonder, the paintings created can be brought indoors to brighten our spaces when we are unable to experience their true form outdoors.

Opening Celebrations

All are welcome to the show’s opening reception on May 3 between 2:00-4:00pm. This is a fun opportunity to engage with the exhibit and its artists and a chance to mingle with the local arts community. We look forward to seeing you there!

Following the opening, the show runs May 3-28.

About the Artists

Delia Eastwood is a Grey-Highlands-based artist. Her practice began with, and has always included, drawing. She started painting as a student at McMaster University, and after graduating with a BA, she moved to Grey Highlands where she continued to paint and draw. She has pursued a variety of artistic subject matter throughout her career, including portrait, still life, and landscape. Using pencil, pen, acrylics, paper, canvas, board, and (sometimes!) Tyvek, Delia finds inspiration everywhere, from church renaissance paintings to representations of her own life.

Holly Kee has pursued a five-year journey as a landscape artist, exploring both technique and personal expression, all through the medium of oil paint. Relying on self-discovery and patience, she has progressed from basic landscapes, learning the fundamentals of light, shadow and perspective, to capturing the atmosphere and emotion of her environment. Looking to the future, Holly is excited to continue growing and pushing the boundaries of her work
