A Vivienne Jones

     Vivienne Jones is an artist working in contemporary jewellery and sculpture. She will be showing her work in the context of the evocative old Lasswade School House that is her studio away from home, retreat and inspiration.
     Showing along with Vivienne will be two guests: Rhona Jones who works in mixed media, creating skillfully balanced mobiles and sculpture, and Kathryn Bemrose, a painter whose work is an extraordinary exploration of colour and abstract form.
     The school house is located at 333 Lasswade Road, just off Highway 504 on the way to the Gut Conservation Area.

 B Mary Kainer
      visual artist

     In the studio this year Mary will present oil and encaustic paintings, photographs, boxed accordion compositions and other structural forms.  These works developed as the artist examined the beauty and structure of folded paper. 
     Studio 452 is located 15 km from Apsley at 452 Lasswade Road, 2 km east off Highway 46, just south of the junction of Highway 504. Follow the signs toward The Gut Conservation Area.

C Beatrice  Earnshaw
     stained glass
 
     “The Stained Glass Lady’s” transparent dreams are inspired by nature. Light brings life to her hand crafted windows, panels  and sun catchers. Beatrice’s new tables and lamps are sure to catch your eye. Grace dismal spaces  with the mystery and magic of coloured light.
     Watch for the green sign on the east side of Hwy.28; #9482, just 3 km. south  of Apsley. Open all year by appointment or chance.

D June Harris
     paintings

      I love to paint.  I have many muses: the land; flowers; light shining through glass objects and people doing ordinary things.  I combine these images in a colourful, imaginative way, creating realistic paintings in watercolour and oils, to be enjoyed by others.
     This year, I am painting small florals as well as large still lifes and landscapes.  My work is in private collections throughout North America and England.
     Come visit me at Trillium Hill Studio, 190 Anstruther Lake Road, 1 km from Hwy 28.

E  Apsley Acers Studio
    wearable art jewellery

    Jewels from the back of beyond.  Working with a myriad of raw rocks from around the globe -- after slicing, polishing reveals the intrinsic beauty of the slice. Each evolves into a hauntingly beautiful yet rustic piece of “signed” wearable art.
     Open  Sat. & Sun. 1 - 4 pm spring through fall, or by appointment.

F  Elizabeth Kusinski
      paintings

     Elizabeth Kusinski’s oil paintings have been described as having a semi-impressionistic  quality with an ‘old world’ romantic feeling.  Her florals are vibrant with an emphasis on the contrast between light and dark.  Elizabeth’s work was influenced by her European roots, represented in her street and pastoral scenes.  Her work has been on display in galleries and her paintings are in many private collections around the world.    
     River Street Studio, 50 River Street. In Apsley, east on Burleigh St., take first left onto River St.

H  Arne Roosman
    paintings

      As always, Arne is intrigued by myths and legends. From his successful show at the Ya Ya Gallery in Bancroft, back to the Celtic.  Of course there are the Italians ­ landscapes and townscapes from Tuscany and Venice, as well as caricatures, historical and political. And, last but not least, Arne’s ever-present horses.

J Rosslyn Reed
   clay art

     Rosslyn’s fascination with clay has led her in constant pursuit of beauty in colour and form. Crystalline- glazed plates and bowls capture crystal formations in the glaze, like ice crystals on a windowpane.  In contrast, her warm, burnished, smoke-fired vessels capture a particular moment in the sawdust and wood firing.
     Rosslyn taught ceramics at Mohawk and Niagara Colleges before moving to her waterfront studio-home on Chandos Lake.
     Turn off county road 620 at Balmer Road; follow Balmer Rd for 11 km to  #2217 on the right hand side, just past the intersection of Antelope Trail.

K Molly Moldovan
     visual artist
 
     Working from the inside out -- from the feeling to the image ­ is my process, whether I’m creating a series of abstracted landscapes for the sheer joy of it or making work that explores social conscience and political experience.
     Recent works have explored such diverse themes as democracy, cross-border politics, the AIDS pandemic, familial relationships and the abstract nature of our universe.
     Returning as my guest this year is Susan Higgins, whose distinctive fused glass bowls and plates express themes of nature, and colourful abstract designs.  Susan can be reached at
     705-635-9733.
     From Apsley, follow county road 620 6 km east to Clydesdale Rd. Turn left and continue on Clydesdale to #1080, the first driveway on the left past Tallan Lake Rd.  Studio open to the public during studio tour weekend or by appointment.
