Let's dive into the captivating realm of Pat Carbonneau, a multi-talented artist who weaves a vibrant tapestry of mixed-media masterpieces. Throughout her artistic career, Pat has fearlessly experimented with various mediums, from oil and acrylic to sumi-e brush painting, watercolour, and collage. But her true passion lies in the enchanting world of mixed media, encaustics, and collage, where she skillfully crafts contemporary art through abstraction.
Pat's artwork is more than just beautiful aesthetics; it's a profound expression of the human experience, encompassing both personal and universal themes. As she aptly puts it, "I don't always know why I choose a certain subject or colour, but I believe there is a connection with our shared inner world that comes into being through the act of creative expression."
Step into the whimsical world of Lucy Willemsen, a gifted artist who breathes life into clay and creates functional pottery with an irresistible touch of joy. Drawing on her vast experience in various media, Lucy expertly fuses her artistic journey into her clay creations. The result? Pottery that resembles the delicate beauty of birch bark, adorned with delightful birds and animals that transform each piece into a work of functional art.
Lucy's pottery reflects her profound appreciation for the wonders of nature, inspired by the abundance of birds around her forested home by the lake. Her creations embody the magic of each season, capturing the essence of the natural world in stunning, realistic shapes and textures. As Lucy puts it, "To see an owl, is a wonderful gift. Each season has its magic, and I open my eyes to all of it, to draw inspiration."
