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. LL.D.\, RCA is one of Canada’s leading realist artists. He was born in Middleton Nova Scotia\, in 1936. In 1954\, Forrestall was awarded a scholarship to the Fine Arts department at Mount Allison University\, where he studied with Lawren P. Harris\, Ted Pulford and Alex Colville. Graduating in 1958 he received one of the first Canada Council grants for independent study which provided him with the opportunity to travel throughout Europe. Upon their return to Canada they moved to New Brunswick where Tom became assistant curator of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. He has been a full time artist since 1960.  His artwork has been exhibited internationally and is held in major public collection in Canada.

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: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.

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:Suzanne Hill: Hands of the Horsemen
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

She is a graduate of the Textile Design Diploma program at the New Brunswick College of Craft & Design (NBCCD) and currently taking her Masters in Adult Ed at UNB.

Information on design will also be discussed. \nKathy Tidswell combines painting on fabric with free motion machine embroidery to produce thread painted works of art. She also blends innovative and traditional techniques to create unique wall quilts and original wearable art. Nature is a large influence on her work and she strives for realism. Her pieces have been juried into Canadian Quilters’ Association National Juried Shows (winning two awards)\, Grand National Juried Exhibitions\, Studio Art Quilt Associates regional shows and Ontario Network of Needleworkers Threadworks. Her work has been published nationally and internationally. Kathy teaches her methods throughout Canada and in Europe. In 2005\, she was awarded Canadian Quilters’ Association Teacher of the Year. \nCost $50 plus supplies \nSupply List \n\nZigzag sewing machine and its’ manual.\nDarning foot.\nNew machine embroidery needles 75/11 or 90/14 if you are using rayon embroidery threads.
