Jessie Buchanan Oil / Acrylic on Canvas Jessie works in a semi-abstract, landscape style using oil / acrylic on canvas. Part of the aim of her work is to celebrate her indigenous roots through engaging Anishinaabe spiritual beliefs, traditions and art. Her goal is to convey what she considers to be transcendent aspects of “ordinary” experiences through colour and form in order to inspire others. Jessie will be showing at Gritt Gallery, 121 Wyndham St., Suite 203 | |

Gina Duque Mixed Media With her work Gina strives to manifest a sense of ethereality and mystery while being grounded in the familiar and scientific. A fascination with the purposeful design of the natural world through the use of micro- and macroscopic perspectives, organic forms, textures and patterns is reflected in her work. Gina will be showing at 158 Fife Rd., Unit 7 | |

Dennis Gaumond Acrylic Paint & Tissue on Canvas Dennis has been painting for about thirty years. He is also a musician, author and songwriter. His latest series uses painted tissue on canvas to create non-representational, abstract works that emphasize color relationships and texture. It is important for Dennis to maintain a joyful, intuitive, heart-centered painting process. Dennis will be showing at 8 Chelsea Court
