Angela Smylie

Having raised my children and welcomed grandchildren in this world, I am now embarking on a new and exciting chapter of my life. Living in the beautiful Bay of Quinte region of Ontario, Canada, I am surrounded by beauty. M environment is a constant source of joy and inspiration. I have always enjoyed creating. As a child, I loved to draw, but taking sewing classes in high school opened a whole new world of creativity. Sewing, knitting, crocheting, and later traditional rug-hooking became a part of my daily life. I have an insatiable need to create. The pandemic in 2020 afforded me the opportunity to take online paint classes, and, from the very first class, I knew I had found my niche. Acrylics is my medium of choice as I translate impressions of what I see onto the canvas. Creativity is an outlet for the lens through which I view the world. In all things, I see beauty. Gratitude for the life with which i view the world. As a result, I am drawn to paint the things around me. this deep appreciation of my surroundings, the beauty of nature, and the points where nature and human activity intersect are what I find particularly interesting. It is my hope that my paintings bring joy and peach to those who view them.

Ryan Carde

Ryan was a casual painter until the global pandemic. Mental struggles and diagnosis' of Generalized Anxiety Disorder and ADHD, caused Ryan to turn to art for therapy. Most of what he paints is what he is feeling, or emotions he's trying to express in the moment in true neo-expressionism styling. His paintings represent being "woke" or being "awake", and "not having the wool pulled over your eyes". Each Painting shows pure raw emotion, in some cases the battle between anxiety and ADHD. While in full pandemic swing Ryan discovered his father had been battling throat cancer, which resulted in his fathers loss of speech. You can see the symbolism of his father's loss of communication and illness in many of Ryan's works.

"Every Painting represents not believing in everything you hear or see in the media or internet. These paintings also represent a few conspiracies and a few truths, like the 'all seeing eye', or the illuminati.'

N.Riopelle

Nicole was born in Oshawa Ontario, in 1986, and grew up in the small town of Orono. She spent most of her free time outside appreciating the beauty in the little things and noticing details in her surroundings that others would not.

Her passion for art began at a young age as she explored her creativity through watercolor during high school and used art an escape, to block out the world and distractions and let her creative side flow. She now works primarily with acrylic on canvas.

By applying abstraction, she approaches a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered fashion. Her work never shows complete structure or recognizable form, resulting in the artist easily being able to imagine rendition without being hindered by any historical reality.

Nicole spent several years living in Ottawa and working as a behavioural therapist to brain injured clients. She now calls Prince Edward County her home and is focused on raising her four beautiful little boys.
