February 4-18
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 4, 1pm-3pm

Every year, the Chapel Gallery Committee thinks of a concept for its annual gallery challenge. It’s a way to artistically shake off the winter doldrums and get the creative juices flowing. It’s a great opportunity for the members of Muskoka Arts & Crafts to experiment outside of their normal subject matter. For some artists, it can even inspire a whole series of new work.

This year, Muskoka Arts & Crafts’ Chapel Gallery asked its members to create work that represents their signature style that speaks to who they are as artists.

Every artist can be recognized by their distinctive technique. Whenever you see dream-like and magical paintings based on Jewish and Russian folklore, you think of Marc Chagall. Look at a print of Campbell soup cans lined up row on row and Andy Warhol springs to mind. Paintings full of symbolism and compassion towards the indigenous inhabitants of Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands during the 1890s and thoughts of Paul Gauguin come to mind.

The members of Muskoka Arts & Crafts can also be identified by their artistic styles. Swirls of energetic colours that tumble into flowers and roosters are the artistic fingerprint of Wendy Moses. Wetlands and swamps of Muskoka are the hallmarks of Jane Gordon. And some artists such as Pat Whittle, Krysia Bower and Sherry Mossman will keep you guessing as they express themselves through a variety of media, styles and subject matter. 

This Is Who I Am will be on display at Muskoka Arts & Crafts’ Chapel Gallery from February 4 until February 18. An opening reception takes place on Saturday, February 4 between 1pm and 3pm.
