Shaaron has been painting and sketching since a child, always finding solace in her art. Primarily a self taught artist she has attended many workshops by Canadian artists such as Art Cunnanan, Margaret Roseman, Kai-Leis McGinnis, Jack Reid and Doris Pontieri to mention a few. Rather than emulating other artists styles she feels it is important to take what you learn and translate those experiences into her own paintings. Starting in watercolour, she switched to acrylics a few years ago, although she maintains that watercolour will always be her favourite medium.
She has no real preference in subject matter, preferring to paint what strikes her fancy at certain periods in her life. Her love of bright colour results in paintings that are passionate and evocative in style often representing what she sees in her perennial garden. A love for Newfoundland which she visited a few years ago also continues to be a source of ideas and inspiration. Her paintings have been sold overseas, and in Canada.

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.
