ART EXHIBIT RECEPTION: WHERE WE LIVE

EVENT DETAILS

Opening at The Gallery at L.E. in January 2024. Beach! In the tri-artist show Where We Live, Ontario artists Wanda Haayen, Judy Scopes, and Karen Bowen are happy to offer a selection of their works.  

These seasoned artists depict Canadian landscapes that capture the majesty and drama of our coasts and rural areas, places that hold particular meaning for them. In their exploration of Grey/Bruce and Simcoe Counties, all three pay tribute to historic barns, hillside farms, historic villages, and the waters of Georgian Bay and its headwater rivers.

Judy, Karen, and Wanda use oils or acrylics to paint in a variety of realistic to impressionistic approaches, attempting to portray the atmosphere and light of their home.

On Saturday, January 6, come meet the artists at their open event! Visit The Gallery from 2-4pm to take advantage of the snacks, open bar and stunning artwork.
