Artists

Carin Bacher

Flameworked and Sandblasted Glass

Capturing movement of molten glass in flame, adding depth and dimension with colour and shape, vision takes form, a collaborative dance as artist and molten glass guide each other on a journey of discovery.

Colin Whitebread

Acrylic and Mixed Media Acrylic

I use colour, mixed media, and textured surfaces to interpretively explore a variety of subjects. My work has become more intuitive and abstract as I have matured as an artist. I love playing with media and design ideas and attempt to spread joy and wonder through my use of colour and bold design.

David Clubine

Watercolours

Since 1990, I have been inspired to paint watercolours of landscapes and architecture in Ontario and beyond, choosing from a wide variety of century homes, farm buildings, railway stations and churches.

Ed Keith

Pottery & Clay Artist (Raku Potter)

In 1970, I began my exploration of clay sculpture and pottery as an elementary school teacher in Scarborough. During this time, I did extensive exploration of Raku firing techniques. My inspiration comes from years of running, and exploring nature.

Jane McLellan

Painted Glass, Felted Vintage Wool Mittens

I have always loved taking something old and making it into something beautiful and unique. I like looking at a piece of glass, its texture or shape or purpose, and then creating unique designs to transform the ordinary into whimsical and special. Something to be enjoyed.

JoAnne Caza

Acrylic Painting

Channeling my creativity through various forms of art has been a lifelong dream which I am thrilled and privileged to be doing now. It gives me great joy and satisfaction to be able to translate and adapt a concept or an idea I have in mind into a befitting abstract iteration.

Kate Greenway

Watercolour, Mixed Media Collage, Stained/Fused/Mosaic Glass

I work in three mediums: glass (fused, stained and mosaic), watercolour, and mixed media collage. I am fascinated by the use of tiny pieces to build up form and meaning in minute detail. Working across these mediums fuels my creative spirit.

Latcham Art Centre

Public Art Gallery

Latcham Art Centre hosts 8 curated exhibitions each year that reflect a range of artistic media and the cultural diversity of our province. Exhibitions are complemented with educational and public programs including school visits, public lectures and art workshops.

Laureen Lucas

Sainted Glass, Woodcrafts

Since opening my studio in 2008, I have enjoyed completing many stained glass projects, large and small, with concepts ranging from traditional to contemporary - each reflecting individual taste and preference.

Lisa Allen

Painting, Woodburning, Embroidery

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Goodwood, Ontario, whose work is deeply inspired by the natural world. With over 30 years of experience as an art educator, I have developed a distinctive practice that merges embroidery, woodburning, and painting to capture the beauty and complexity of nature.

Margaret Grandison

Watercolours, Acrylics

I have been drawing and painting all my life, drawn to landscapes and houses while constantly looking for shapes and foliage to frame my subjects. I love experimenting with many colour combinations and often find it difficult to limit my palette. So many colours; so many choices.

Meral Altinbilek

Watercolour Painting

I am passionate about watercolour. I love the transparency and glow that shows on paper. But, for me, the most fascinating thing about watercolour is its spontaneity, which still surprises me after 40 years in this medium.

Monica Gennaro

Sterling Silver and Gold Handmade Jewellery

The pattern of the bark on the trees and the shapes of flower petals are incorporated into most of my original art jewellery pieces. All my jewellery pieces are made solely by me using traditional methods of jewellery making in my studio. The mediums used are sterling silver and gold.

Ray McNeice

Watercolours, Acrylics

My painting style is a product of a forty-six year career in graphic design... a concern for shape and form, eye movement and spacial relationships. Working primarily with transparent watercolour leaning toward an objective abstract approach.

Sarah Porter

Kiln-Formed Glass

My inspiration comes from many sources: nature; the quality of light at dawn and dusk, and across a field of snow. I’ve been kiln-forming glass since 2010 when the medium captivated me and took hold forever: colour, depth, light and shadow; wearable, sculptural, functional…. irresistible!

Shiva Moghaddasi

Shiva Studios Pottery and Textiles

My practice is deeply rooted in the tactile joy of making. Through pottery, silk painting, and fibre art, I explore the connections between culture, place, and identity while creating work that balances function with storytelling.

Susan Whitebread

Recycled Character Art

My artistry leans towards the whimsical, the childlike and the colourful. Colour is my joy, as is making the art patron smile. Years ago I decided not to buy new supplies for my art but to create from what was around me into something magical. That is my goal.

manberdo

Sculpture

I'm an artist. I work with whatever materials make sense. Some ideas need precision; others need a little chaos. I care about quality — not to impress, but because things worth keeping are rare. Sometimes my work has something to say. Sometimes it doesn’t. Seek the best.™
