June Brown was born and raised in the north of England. She and her husband immigrated to Nova Scotia, Canada in 1975. Since that time they have lived from the west to the east coast of Canada, and in 2002 they returned to live in the beautiful Annapolis Valley. June has been painting watercolours for approximately twelve years. June loves the breadth of creativity watercolour painting offers: from the most subtle and delicate work to the most dramatic and vibrant of expression.
Dora Warren Davis was born and raised in St. John’s, NL and currently resides near Windsor, NS. Painting in acrylics, oils and watercolour, she is particularly fond of the vibrant colours seen in the row houses, dories and landscapes of NL and NS.Over a number of years Dora has studied with several well-established artists, both in Nova Scotia and in the USA.
Carlos Da Rosa notes the scenic beauty of Nova Scotia, particularly
the red cliffs of Blomidon and the tides of the Minas Basin, as sources of inspiration for his paintings. Excursions to Europe and Italy have also served as inspiration, evident in his various bold and colourful tributes to Tuscany. Recently he has begun to explore the nude figure through his paintings.
Terrie Greencorn works in oil, acrylic and watercolour, specializing in mixed media designs that incorporate sculptural texture. She works in both the Fine and Decorative Art fields with subjects researched then reinvented with brush and paint.
Andrea Hardy is a mixed media artist combining drawing and painting with a strong use of ink and colour, intending to engage the eye and ask a question.
G.A. Jank's work incorporates iron, stone and sometimes crystal. Each piece carries a message about the mechanics and the power of nature,
where humanity must live in harmony with the things around them. Much of the metal in his work is reclaimed, found strewn about the shores of the Bay of Fundy.
Carol Morrison was born in Leeds, England and immigrated to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to work at the Halifax Laboratory of the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans as a research scientist. In 1997 she attended NSCAD in order to take her passion for painting to a more professional
level. Her interest in investigating the natural world around her, which led her to a career as a biologist, has also led to paintings of landscapes, still life and portraits.
Sharon Ogilvie paints in oils & acrylics with preference in land and seascapes. She is currently exploring still life and semi-abstract arts. Sharon is also a songwriter, vocalist, and bassist who is planning to study art therapy as a future passion.
Tacha Reed is devoted to up-cycling in all its infinite forms. This desire to make what was old new again led to her creation of a line of felted critters and 3-D wall hangings crafted from natural and re-purposed materials. Tacha is also the owner of Flying Cloud Boutique, a Nova Scotian Art and Artisan shop on wheels located in
Ellershouse, Nova Scotia.
Sue Robinson is an artist working in oils, watercolours, coloured pencils and acrylics.

Jim Tracey has been carving his figures since boyhood. Now near
retirement, he has decided to offer his work to a larger audience and has found himself being asked to exhibit in more and more venues. From his front yard to markets, from commissions to exhibits, Jim is finding greater demand for his works.The subtle humor and political correctness of his work gives Jim an unending supply of fodder for his creations.

More officially, it is a venue for both professional and novice local artists to display and sell their work in a semi-formal environment. Each spring we look forward to seeing the work of participants and the blossoming of new talent.
