SUMMARY:Miniature Worlds - Sara Brinkhurst
DESCRIPTION:What is the fascination with the world of miniatures? There is something so compelling about tiny objects – not just the skill involved in making something so small and detailed\, but the complete uselessness of them determines them as objects of desire for purely ornamental reasons. The possibility to make or own a tiny piece of furniture or art that we would never normally have room for\, or possibly afford\, allows us to create our own perfect worlds. Worlds that can be packed up and fit in one box! \nAfter retiring in 2021\, I revisited an old hobby. Exploring and unpacking boxes of minis that I had collected over the years brought back a rush of desire to start creating again. These pieces are the results of explorations into different scales and effects\, ranging from 1:12 to 1:144 (a dollhouse for a dolls house). Some contain a mixture of made and bought items (many of which have been adapted); others contain all original items made by my own hand using wood\, metals\, fabrics\, clays\, paint and a lot of glue! \n\n  \n\nSara Brinkhurst\nBorn in England\, Sara graduated from the University College for the Creative Arts in Kent. She won several competitions and awards before graduating with a BA First Class Honours in Silver/Gold Smithing and Jewellery Design in 2007. \nShe emigrated to Canada in 2008\, where she has continued to explore creative pursuits. These include working in precious metals\, theatre costume design and making\, writing and anything else that involves research and hand skills. After retiring as Director of Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre in 2021\, she revisited a life-long passion for miniatures. Inspiration to finish some old projects quickly led to the creation of several new explorations in the world of mini. Sara is a Juried Member of the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council and Craft New Brunswick. \nArtist Statement\nMy journey through the mini world started when I was around 10. I loved finding small objects and turning them into something else\, and could spend hours making little pieces of furniture or accessories – from toothpaste cap vases\, to string-framed paintings\, to toothpick and jam jar lid tables. I have always enjoyed researching history around furnishings\, clothing\, household objects and living styles. As an adult\, a degree in jewellery design and making vastly improved my hand skills. Finally all these elements have come together to allow me to create and build as I have always been driven too. The focus required to work at this scale is all engrossing and addictive. For me\, it is playing at its finest – and an escape to fascinating little worlds where anything can happen.

SUMMARY:Violet A. Gillett: Fine Art and Original Craft
DESCRIPTION:“My aims – what they are – are not perhaps high. I do not think of my art works – as it seems is the fashion nowadays – as having a socially significant message – unless [it is] in trying to tell in my work\, of beauty I have felt or observed\, and so to bring it to the attention of others\, [so it] does good to mankind and has some social value. If what I have said in my art\, or have fostered in my teaching\, carries into the world a sense of greater happiness and beauty in my day\, then all my aims will be gratified.”\nViolet Gillett \nOpening and Book Launch\nSaturday\, October 8\, 2-4 pm at the Gallery \nViolet A. Gillett\, Painting With Words\nArtist\, Author and Educator \nAuthor JoAnne Rivers\, in collaboration with all the descendants of Violet Gillett\, has penned a life story\nabout this important\, multi-talented Maritimer that will kindle a glorious and lasting impression for everyone.\n“A number of accolades\, including becoming a Member of the Order of Canada in 1976\, reflects the great esteem in\nwhich both she and her work were held over the course of an active\, influential\, and distinguished career. Ultimately\, Vi Gillett’s hard work and quiet determination fundamentally reshaped art in New Brunswick; a remarkable\naccomplishment and enduring legacy.” \nPeter J. Larocque Art Curator\, New Brunswick Museum \nAs the founding director of Fine Art at the Saint John Vocational School\, Gillett gave influential guidance to young Fred Ross and many others. With Walter Abell and Miller Brittain she was a pivotal force in the Maritime Push. Upon\nretirement Violet Gillett returned to her family home in Perth-Andover\, New Brunswick where\, with her sister Beatrice Rivers they developed a highly successful arts and crafts business catering to visitors from across Canada and the United States. Little has been written about this East Coast renaissance artist. “Painting With Words” tells the inspirational story\, from her childhood memories arriving at Market Slip in Saint John in 1909\, her early employment with Banting and Best at the time of their insulin discovery\, through the many\, and variety of artworks she created – even after losing her sight. By combining personal correspondence with published stories from the Atlantic Advocate and a generous collection of images\, Painting With Words chronicles a life well lived. For those who know Violet Gillett’s work\, this book will enhance their appreciation of her life’s many accomplishments. For those meeting her for the first time\, many delightful and surprising encounters await within this book’s covers.
