Gail Hankin
Gail was born into a police family, and grew up in various parts of central Ontario, particularly Bracebridge. As a child, her greatest contentment came from drawing. She was educated at the University of Western Ontario in the sciences, and went on to establish a career in policing, with emphasis on forensic work. She retired from her career, and immediately pursued her early interest in art, which had never disappeared.
Her aim is to try to convey the beauty of the natural world with landscape painting, but is developing an interest in portraits as well. She usually works in oils or graphite pencil.
She currently lives in Barrie.

Jill Price
Open House
Sunday Feb 5 from 1 to 3
Continuing on with her series of "Fabricated Landscapes" recently shown at Double Door Gallery in Antem Mills, Ontario Jill Price will feature 5 new works that examine our rapidly changing landscapes.
These new pieces are in response to Barrie adjusting it's southern boundary to include 2,293 hectares of land currently in the Town of Innisfil, as well as Price's observation of undeveloped pockets of land nestled within our city limits that point to our rural beginnings.
Currently living two streets away from farmland, Price finds herself on the edge of suburban sprawl, something she has coined "RURBIA". Photo based these mixed media works visually investigate how our culture simultaneously mimics and destroys nature through its industrious design and development.
