Siblings
Teresa and Paul McLaughlin come by their artistic
background honestly. The brother and sister team are the
children of third generation artists. From painting to
music, a well rounded art education was always
encouraged in the McLaughlin household.
Teresa pursued a secondary education with a scholarship
to C.W. Jeffries art school in North York during the
eighties and then returned home to Muskoka to raise a
family.
Taking a job as a teaching assistant at the local
Muskoka Falls Public School afforded Teresa two
benefits: to be near her three children and to run the
art program for grades one through eight. Ten years at
Muskoka Falls Public School led to a managerial position
at a local art gallery. While under Teresas' management
the gallery received consecutive prestigious awards. It
was at the later where she honed her skills at producing
art exhibitions and this prompted her to open her own
gallery.
Enter Paul Mclaughlin. As owner of his own businesses
since the seventies, the entrepraneurial spirit was
alive and well and looking for a fresh outlet. With
foresight to realize the potential in the picturesque
town of Gravenhurst, Paul purchased a lovely craftsman
cottage on the main street of the town with a commercial
zoning.
With both siblings looking for a new venture it seemed
only natural to look to their roots and so the concept
for The Auburn Gallery of Fine Art was born. |
