PARTICIPATING ARTISTS 2013

Doug Aucoin

For as long as Will can remember, he has always had a fascination with viewing the world through a camera lens; everything is a potential photograph waiting to happen. Will’s goal as a photographer is to share my personal vision of beauty all around us

Michele Burnett

Michele creates sculpture and functional art using clay. She has been working with with this media for over fifteen years and enjoys its' the grounding properties . Her sculpture is generally of human body and abstract form. Her Last August Series of functional clay pieces includes trays, platters and bowls with impressions of late summer flowers.

Michael Dorang

Michael has been playing with different art types all his life but it was when he found clay that he found his medium. The combinations of earth, water, and fire appeal to him on a primal level. Michael aspires to create pieces that combine form and function with unusual and playful finishes. Each of his pieces is unique and different. This has also lead Michael to explore jewelry making using natural elements such as clay, stone, shell and glass to create fun and unique pieces.

Boban Dosic

In his mixed media paintings Boban has been exploring layers and textures, constructing and deconstructing the surface in search of the story.

Gordana Olujic Dosic

Gordana’s mixed media/textile work is often about contracts and dychotomies, with strong narrative base and a touch of humour.  In this body of work nature has a dialogue with history, reminding us of our shared humanity.  And why is numbering featured so prominently?  Think of it as a reminder of time or, perhaps, of our need to put things in order, however elusive that may be.  And why the pom-poms?  Well, just for the fun of it, of course!

Sharon Corrigan Forrest

Sharron’s artwork is profoundly influenced by her years living north of Lake Superior and her ongoing relationship with her garden.  Inspiration is drawn from fragments of memories, spaces and objects that are traced by time and interspersing perspectives.  Most recently the subject of her work has been found in a collection of lace, needlepoint and fragments of tatting that trace patterns from nature.  Forrest’s artistic practice is to integrate both traditional methods and current technologies. 

Natalia Harlow, MSc, OCT

Natalia is both a scientist and an artist.  As an artist, Natalia trained in drawing and watercolour painting.  Natalia then taught herself oil painting, photography, and recently, acrylic painting. 

Erin McGuire

Erin doesn't consider herself a photographer as much as an editor. An adherent of the "shoot a mile of film" school, her talent lies more in winnowing the quality out of quantity.  The winning photos are made into prints and photo cards, or printed onto wood blocks and aluminum. Between trips to Europe, she and her dozens of digital memory cards abide in a 17th floor condo with an unobstructed Western view of Toronto's East end.

Jason Mitchell

Jason originally trained as an actor and began painting in 2006 after spending time doing summer theatre in Drayton, a small town in south-west Ontario.  He began by painting the farmlands and surrounding landscapes, a theme that remains in his work. 

Rick Shea

Full-time marketing consultant, part-time photographer, lifetime lover of photography. 

Whether Rick is exploring the world or in and around Toronto, Rick likes to explore with his camera.  Many things catch Rick’s eye, including nature, landscapes, cityscapes, abstracts and people, but his favourite discoveries are often moments.
