Premiere Exhibition of
Ariane Dubois
Sanctuary Series
May 5 - 17, 2012

 The Sanctuary series focuses on metaphorical images of atmospheric landscapes and most particularly, an excursion into the deepness of our unconscious.  I paint from memory of feelings while experimenting with the greatness of nature.  Walking along a river through the forest, up to a sunny clearing, as well as the freedom in the middle of a large field on a windy day.  These are precious moments of life that strongly increase the sensation of being alive. - Ariane Dubois

Laura Harris - May 19 - 31, 2012

Described as ‘beautifully imperfect’ Laura’s paintings speak to an inner voice often ignored – with strikingly bold colours and texture, each one takes you on a journey that requires contemplation and offers discovery. Mostly self-taught, Laura began painting in her teens. With her draftsman father teaching her perspective and technique, he also encouraged freedom of expression. Before becoming a ‘serious’ painter, Harris attended college and worked as a graphic designer, specializing in corporate identity. In 2001, her successful design company gave way to her full time art career. It is a very exciting time for Laura – with a run of successful shows and critical acclaim, she is continuing her journey with a strong sense of play, and refreshing confidence and flare. “The work keeps getting deeper, more honest. I continue to work on a piece until I feel it breathe on its own”.
