Landscapes and Expressions of Northern Ontario

OPENING SATURDAY JULY 29TH, 2023, 5-9 PM

EXHIBITION CLOSES AUGUST 19TH, 2023.

Artists Anne Winkworth, Nicole Sutherland and Sue Lewis are all Canadian artists that share passion for the Boreal landscapes of Northwestern Ontario that surround Thunder Bay.

THE EXHIBITION INCLUDES OVER THIRTY MAJOR PAINTINGS FROM THE ARTISTS’ MOST RECENT WORKS.

Anne Winkworth

Anne is a lifetime artist, having created artforms in diverse and varied mediums.

Most recently Anne has focussed on exploring colours and design through acrylic

and oil mediums, creating interpretations of the landscapes of Northwestern

Ontario. Her paintings are colourful and expressionistic vignettes of the boreal

forest and the beauty of Lake Superior. They resonate a cheerfulness through

the utilization of bold and harmonious colours, strong contrasting shapes and

attention to design relationships.

“I identify with country life and being creative is at the very soul of my nature. Thankfully in Northwestern Ontario, opportunities for creative inspiration are everywhere you look."

Sue Lewis

Sue is a long time artist who has been painting in many mediums throughout her

life. She aspires to create energy and depth in her paintings through layers and

textures that reveal the history of the work.

Sue has recently returned to Thunder Bay and is excited to depict the

surrounding natural beauty through the many layered effects of cold wax and

oils. At times her work leans toward the representational and at other times it

moves into the abstract.

“Ultimately I reach for the energy, the feeling, and the magic that can be

experienced through the creative interpretation of Northern Landscapes.”

Nicole Sutherland

Nicole Sutherland is an artist from NorthWestern Ontario, Canada. She

specializes in painting brightly coloured landscapes in oils. Nicole studied at the

University of Manitoba where she received her Honours Degree in Fine Art. She

has also worked as a Graphic Designer for many years.

“I love being surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the forest and then

incorporating that into my paintings. I have found that no matter how you receive

nature or art - there is no mistaking that it is right for the soul.”
