pottery/ceramics

4.  Anne Rudy - Art of Paper Sculpture   Leamington

original papertole

   

Paper sculpture is a dimensional art unlike paper tole.  There are no purchased prints used in paper sculpture.  All pictures are originals,  hand-painted using water colours,  acrylics, pencil crayons and charcoal.  I studied paper sculpture at the University of Arizona during my early retirement years.  While vacationing in Arizona I participated in numerous juried shows and won some honorable mention and 1st prize for an original sculptured picture in Tempe, Arizona.  Along with the many other art techniques I have acquired during my teaching years, I apply them to create my own unique style.   Subject matter varies from still life, wildlife, pets, birds, flowers, landscapes, seascapes, and miniatures.  All finished pictures are framed in shadow boxes by my husband Daniel.

7.  Ed Roach     Leamington

watercolour wash

   

Visit Ed's lakeside studio in Leamington where his passion for watercolour transforms him.  Born in Halifax, Ed's work is undoubtedly influenced by his early years living in the Maritimes.  Coastlines, fishing villages and sleepy rural communities are usual subjects that provide the backdrop for his unique view of the world.  The subtlety of his chosen medium lends to the illusion of it's simplicity, screening the complex creative process Ed follows.  Ed's stirring collection of watercolours reflects 20 years of this artist's life and a continuing contemplation of the world that intrigues him and a world he is willing to share.  Ed's studio also provides custom artistic framing.
