PARTICIPATING ARTISTS 2009

Eiko Watanabe

Eiko captures a special moment and creates stories through the lens.  Eiko also likes to create abstract photographs of nature.

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.

Sasha Patterson

Sasha is currently studying International Development and Indigenous Studies at Trent University.  Sasha started taking photographs in high school and has her camera by her side everywhere she goes.  The photographs in this show were taken in towns across Canada and in France and Barbados.  Sasha currently lives in Peterborough, Ontario and spent the summer exploring the land, water and community of the Kawartha Lakes.  Sasha enjoys hiking, biking and making music.  Sasha hopes her photographs can show the relationships between people and the land and how we as communities interact with our environments

Barbara Smith

Barbara’s work brings together her two loves—photography and felines.  Her subjects are the cats she and her husband have rescued over the yeas.  A portion of the profit from the sale of Barbara’s Straybies Cat Cards will go toward veterinary care for other cats that will one day cross her path.
