June The Mitchell Public Library has a very nice gallery space but unfortunately, until very recently, it did not have art to display in that gallery. This sparked an idea and a group of local artists took on the project of dis- playing original art in the gallery. The newly formed Mitchell art club will be the Goderich CoOp Gallery's Guest Artists for the month of June. Members Deb Elligson, Brendan Card, Sarah Verhoog, Jean Gloor and David Doyle, will be showing their work, and CoOp visitors will enjoy a variety of styles and media when they visit this show. David Doyle may already be a famil- iar name to gallery regulars, as he is also a CoOp member. David is a retired art teacher, who has a life long passion for the outdoors, hik- ing and kayaking being among his favourite pursuits. He finds inspiration for true Cana- dian scenery in his outdoor adventures, and visitors to the gallery will enjoy his watercolour depictions of scenic paths and waterways. The plein air painters, will be inter- ested to learn that David is a regular "Artist in Residence" at Killarney Pro- vincial Park, MacGregor Point, and this fall, at Quetico Provincial Park, where he will be conducting art classes at all three locations. Brendan Card is a stained glass artist whose pieces are quite structural, fol- lowing the patterns of "fractal" or "sacred" geometry, which lends itself beautifully to expression in a glass medium. However, last November he was introduced to acrylic paints, and now finds he is enjoying the freedom of mix- ing colours. This style also allows Brendan to work loosely, without expectations of any particular outcome, other than the freedom of expression the medium affords him. Brendan will be displaying examples of both types of his art. Deb Elligson is a life long Perth County resident, who partners her hus- band on their dairy farm. Following a career as an interior designer, she became interested in Mandalas after meeting a Mandala art- ist at Celtic Roots.Festival. She has since found a new path of artistic expression through the satisfy- ing pursuit of JVlandala Design. Mandalas are found in ancient art works such as cave art, and native art all over the world; they are historic, spirit- ual, and always incorporate a 'divine' geometric pattern. Deb is finding satis- faction and fulfillment in these creations. Sarah Verhoog is a young artist who, following graduation from Sheridan College, continued her studies at McMaster. She is currently attending classes at Artventure, in London, and is exploring a variety of art techniques. Sarah has been employing a variety of mediums, but her favourite remains soft pastels, with some acrylics and paper cutting. Her creations are colour- ful and intriguing. Jean Gloor, a well-known Mitchell area artisan, and owner of "Touch of Art" is also a member of the group, and will be showing some of her creations at the Goderich Co Op Gallery for the month of June. Visit the gallery at 54 Courthouse Square, lower level, Saturday June 3 between 2pm and 4pm. Join the members as we welcome the new Mitchell Art Club with an opening reception. If you haven't visited for awhile, we have new art on display, and have decorated the gallery in hon- our of Canada 150, with Canadian scenes, and some handcrafted maple leaves. Summer hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm and visitors will always he greeted by one of the mem- ber artists.
