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. JoAnne Rivers

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.

DESCRIPTION:Opening: July 16\, 2-4 pm. Introductions and artist talk at 2:30 pm. All welcome. \n   \nHands of the Horsemen brings together works from different periods of the artist’s long career. Loaned from the collections of the New Brunswick Museum\, The Beaverbrook Art Gallery\, private collectors and the artist’s studio\, this exhibition places the artist’s most recent work in the context of 20 years of her art and confirms her continued interest in the androgynous and anonymous figure.  \nAlways creating a subtle and evocative space from the surface area upon which she works\, Hill’s figures seem to be extracted\, scratched\, pasted\, torn or collaged into being.  In exquisite contrast with her very direct method of working\, her figures are delicately suspended\, poised in time and motion. They are figurative gestures that have agency and exist with consequence. Hill’s figures seem to metaphorically struggle with the singularity of experience\, wrestling as does the artist with existential questions while formally engaging with a line\, an edge\, a frame or their own shadow.  When writing about the body of work\, Singular from the mid 2000s\, Peter Larocque observed that “while we may live in social situations and may interact\, to lesser or great degrees with others\, ultimately\, we remain as parallel singularities delineated by the borders of our own perception and will”. \nSuzanne Hill lives in Rothesay\, N.B. A graduate of Mount Allison and McGill Universities\, she has exhibited nationally and internationally.  For many years she taught art in the public Schools in Saint John.  Her work has been the inspiration for cross disciplinary creative productions with poet Ann Compton and the Atlantic Ballet. Hill has worked tirelessly for the advancement of the visual arts and has had a significant voice in the cultural affairs of the province. She has served on the Artsnb Board\, the Board of Directors of the NB Museum\, and the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation. She was the 1999 recipient of the SHMF Strathbutler Award\, and 2016 recipient of the NB Lieutenant-Governor General’s Award. Her art is in the New Brunswick Art Bank\, the Canada Council Art Bank\, UNB\, NB Museum\, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery\, the University of Maine\, the Governor General of Canada\, the Canadian War Museum and the Department of External Affairs. Recent exhibitions include Unstable Boundaries\, 2019\, Spicer/Merrifield Gallery\, The Work Before\, 2021\, Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Centre and the Saint John Airport. \nSuzanne Hill will give an artist talk at 2:30 pm on July 16\, 2022 accompanied by her long time gallery dealer and friend\, Peter Buckland. Everyone is welcome – Admission is free – refreshments will be served. \n   \n

SUMMARY:Frank Allison: Paintings and Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Born in Saint John\, N.B.\, Frank Allison (1883-1951) studied painting under Wilfred Molson Barnes and Maurice Galbraith Cullen at the Art Association in Montreal; John F. Carlson\, Woodstock\, New York; George Elmer Browne in Europe. He worked for the Bank of Montreal in Saint John\, and by 1906 had transferred to Ontario and Montreal. He traveled extensively and found his subjects in many countries. Toward the end of WWI\, he was working for the Bank in London England and was closely associated with Canadian painter James Wilson Morrice. Although he painted a variety of subjects\, he had a special interest in architecture and is perhaps best known for his watercolours. \nPeter Larocque\, Curator at the New Brunswick Museum has observed that Allison is remembered for his impressionist-inspired landscapes filled with light\, mood and atmosphere\, and his accomplished watercolours\, which show his technical mastery of this very demanding medium. \nWatercolour painting has always been appreciated by artists for its portability and in the 19th century in Europe\, when landscape subjects were favoured by many artists\, art exhibitions displayed comparable numbers of watercolours and oils. However\, by the turn of the 20th century\, this ratio changed so that the number of watercolours submitted for exhibitions declined rapidly. In 1925 when the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour formed\, the medium received renewed interest\, regaining some of the stature it had lost. \nDuring the 1920s and 1930s\, the Canadian art scene in central Canada was focused on the Group of Seven and the idea of a unique “Canadian” art. The Maritimes\, however\, held strong ties to New England and Great Britain\, and so it was within this tradition that Allison found himself. \nAllison exhibited with the Royal Canadian Academy exhibitions between 1915 and 1941; at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Spring Shows between 1915 and 1939 and was a life member of the American Water Colour Society. Among his solo shows during his career was one for his watercolours at the T. Eaton Company Gallery in Montreal in November of 1933 when The Montreal Star critic noted\, “Mr. Allison’s subjects are principally the streets and buildings of old towns and\, more particularly\, towns in the south of Europe. The pictures are mostly large watercolours\, painted with much breadth and freedom\, full of the gay colour and sunlight of places in Spain\, Italy\, southern France and Morocco.” \nAllison’s art is represented in the collections of Mount Allison University\, Sackville\, N.B.; Y.W.C.A.\, Saint John\, N.B.; New Brunswick Museum\, Saint John; City of Saint John\, N.B.; Milliken University\, Decatur\, IL.; Decatur Inst. of Civic Art; Art Inst.\, Springfield\, IL.; and many private collections. His niece\, Mrs. Doreen (Allison) Tuomola of Toronto has kindly loaned her collection for this exhibition.
