SUMMARY:the gallery as a studio
DESCRIPTION:Until March 11\, eight artists are effectively turning the gallery into a drawing studio. There is something new to see everyday as the artists make decisions\, change directions and make progress on their art. \nThe Closing Celebration will be held March 11\, 2023\, from 2-4 pm with as many artists present as can make it. \nArtists schedules:  Vicky Lentz and Francine Martin will be in the gallery most Wednesdays and Fridays until mid-afternoon. Nick Walsh will be here February 2nd\,  9th\, 16th and most likely the 24th. Stephen Hutchings will be here midday many days\, as will Colin Smith. Jennifer Stead is always here\, occasionally drawing but always happy to say hi. Amanda Balestreri will be here February 17 and 18. \nNick Walsh is an emerging illustrator from Fredericton\, NB. Nick loves exploring the magic hidden in the forests and his work dives deep into the mystical\, spiritual\, and cultural myths of the natural world around us. His aim is to rekindle the imagination by weaving strange stories into his surreal art pieces that remind us of our role in mother nature's cosmic wheel. \nColin Smith draws constantly\, doodles on paper\, in books\, over shopping lists and has done it since grade one. The landscape is a living\, moving entity\, a series of slow undulations\, studded with trees and potato fields. \nVicky Lentz's practice is exploratory and diverse as she move between materials\, mediums and processes. In her art ideas\, images\, materials are always reconfigured through the process of art making\, transformed during creation to be records of the creative experience. \nStephen Hutchings is working on a future exhibition  and "Fallen Tree" is a study for a large painting in the series “Theatre of Trees”. The final painting\, of which this is a to-scale drawing\, will be approximately 8’ high and 40’ across. \n\nAmanda Balestreri enjoys incorporating nature into all of  her work.  She is interested in observing how humans interact with nature and how our actions have been affecting the natural world over time.  Sometimes her work can be a serious commentary or satire on where we may be heading if we continue to disrespect nature. \nAmanda will be drawing at the gallery starting Saturday Feb 18. The 18th will be the only day to visit her as she is working through the family day weekend. Drop in tomorrow to say hi. \nWilliam Forrestall's subject is time and in his art he preserves moments by painting the shapes and textures of objects that interest him in that most basic of compositions: the still life. In his practice drawing is a means and a place to work out ideas for a future or concurrent painting. \nJennifer Stead drew the first of a series of long drawings\, called "Meander" in 2007. 100' long\, it is a landscape of the Canadian Rockies where she lived at the time. In this drawing she is working from memory and responding to all the landscapes she has cultivated and observed from many parts of the country. \nFrancine Martin is a painter from a small community in northwest New Brunswick. Known for her use of Chiaroscuro\, a technique that has a strong contrast between lights and darks. Her still lifes and landscapes have been shown all over the St-John Valley in New Brunswick in auctions\, festivals\, group and solo shows. In 2018 she had a solo show at ALMAG.

SUMMARY:The Sketchbooks of Tom Forrestall
DESCRIPTION:The Tom Forrestall sketchbook collection offers a unique insight into an artist’s working life\, a visual and written diary spanning a creative lifetime. The collection now approaching 400 volumes covers over 70 years of the artist’s creative explorations and development. As a daily creative record of observation\, reflection and exploration it documents the passions and interests of an observant and creative  individual who doodles\, sketches and details the people\, animals\, ideas and places he visits\, both literally and imaginatively. Everyday few days the pages of his sketchbooks will be turned so there will be new images to see each time you drop in between now and March 11. \nTom Forrestall Bio.\nThomas DeVany Forrestall\, C.M.\, O.N.S.\, B.F.A.
