CECIL DAY: Recent
Etchings
A distinguished member
of Atlantic Canada's printmaking community, Day works out of her
studio in Port Maitland, on the southwest coast of N.S. She brings
her fascination with textured networks of the natural world with a
painter's eye for color to this small tight collection of recent
work, featured with a scattering of older prints.
RON MILTON:
Monoprints, Etchings & Sculpture
Artist, teacher and
lecturer Ronald Milton exhibits in galleries across Ontario and the
Maritimes and teaches etching at a secondary art school in London,
Ontario. Whimsical bronzes accompany the various frogs, roosters, and
fish that find their way into Milton's unusual layered and languaged
works on paper.

CHARLES DAWE: Acrylic and Oil
Paintings
Emerging from a full life as artist, father and
confirmed rebel, this mature and accomplished painter has come forth
with an impressive accumulation of vigorous, expressive paintings of
Cape Breton, especially the Sydney he loves and calls home. Dawes
makes person and place, mundane or otherwise, come alive with an
energentic percussion of bright, choice color and thick, resonant
strokes of the brush.

celebrating the coming of spring with variety and enthusiasm. This
year, for a lucky 13 change, we have expanded upon the floral theme

"The
Lay of the Light"
V.L.
MACLEAN AND A.W. SYPEREK: Etchings and Drawings
Companion Show to "The Lay of the Light" - Traveling
Show of Maclean and Syperek Paintings, drawing attention to the
foundation and further diversity of each artist's expression. The
show is about two artists being present to the profundity of the
world as it is and applying their imaginative expression to that
daily interdependence of inner and outer experience. It calls for a
new look at realism, not for historical or aesthetic reasons
necessarily, but because there is some inherent truth in nature and
in the eloquent arrangement of ordinary things that asserts an
important connective and enlivening influence in the world.

reflective realism, imbued with subtle, human
sympathies.
