The Corner Gallery in Haliburton featured artists from a previous exhibition, but also newer artists, Marissa Sweet and Renee Woltz, Aug. 10.
The event attracted students from the Haliburton School of Art + Design, artists’ partners, as well as art enthusiasts, and cottagers.
Sweet, who likes to canoe in Algonquin Provincial Park with her husband, takes inspiration from being on the water. “I’m a plein air artist, and I do like to set up on a smaller scale, and then transform into a bigger piece.”
Woltz is a ceramics artist who is changing things up. “This is kind of an exploration in ceramic form, the concept of reconstructing, of deconstructing, and then reconstructing, taking a familiar form and reinterpreting it into something that’s different, and makes you think a little bit about our relationships and our place in the world,” she said.
Woltz is “honoured” to be at the Corner Gallery. “It’s such a beautiful environment here, and the quality of the other work is phenomenal.”
The gallery also hosts a ‘coffee and canvas’ event every Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m., where art enthusiasts can drop into the gallery and discuss any aspect of art that interests them with fellow attendees.
