Laura’s work is inspired by the natural environs of her home
with its many windows that open onto the lush, surrounding
forest. Richly-coloured window panels and centrepieces in
beautiful stained glass, constructed using traditional
techniques, have comprised her body of work for several
years. These pieces continue to evolve with a primary focus
on natural, organic shapes and images. Recently, Laura added
fused glass to her offerings with the purchase of a glass
kiln. She is now exploring combining fused elements within
soldered window panels, creating pieces with a bas relief
effect.

Elizabeth is
inspired by the muted colours and gentle landscapes of
southern Ontario, and by the monumental beauty of the
American Southwest. She also has a passion for architecture,
urban scenes, both ancient and modern signs and symbols, and
idiosyncratic visual juxtapositions. She makes stunning
nature, landscape, architecture and eclectic photographs,
and prints on both canvas and archival photographic paper.
Elizabeth is excited to participate again this fall in the
On Common Ground Art Tour.

Once again, Mel is delighted to be a participant on the
studio tour. Mel uses many different woods, domestic and
exotics, to create a multitude of shapes. With his new lathe
he can turn larger shapes including hollow or deep turnings,
bowls, vases, burr wood etc. Some items may combine woods,
for instance, vases from beautiful domestic woods that are
tipped with exotic woods such as ebony, bleeding heart,
purple heart, padauk and others. Seldom are two items the
same in size or shape. Available woods generally dictate
size, shape and function. |
