Anna Hergert's  Exhibition Statement:

My work is informed primarily by the natural world. I strive to contrast and compare weather phenomena, light and shadow, reflection and their affects on my immediate surroundings, primarily the lake my studio overlooks year-round.

 






When Fall 2011 presented unusual weather patterns the timing was perfect to capture once in a lifetime imagery with the camera. Over just three days the temperature fluctuations, precipitation and pre-existing conditions around the lake shore opened a small window of opportunity to gather visual information. Harnessed with my camera I carefully navigated the thin ice reaping the rewards in the form of frozen scenery I had never witnessed before. I weighed my options and decided against digital manipulation of the images I had captured. Any alteration would have truly spoiled nature’s intricate sculptures.

Polar Embrace is my newest body of work where I have, for the first time, combined my passion for photography with my textile art skills.

Raven & Sun

 

Meg Nicks

The intricate details of nature never cease to captivate me. 

Natureʼs flow and rhythms,
the endless interconnectivilty of natureʼs design and patterns, 

are purest inspiration.Wood grain flows like water, and water 

captures the mountains in reverse, pristine like a
mirror or turbulent and almost chaotic. 

The mountain environment looks solid, but is
infinitely changeable.

 

As much as I like to explore nature, I like to explore materials. 

The mountains with theirendless diversity are echoed by the 

incredible variety of materials available to us today.
Never before in the history of art, have so many art materials 

been so available at so affordable a cost. There is a painting 

by Michelangelo that was never finished because the patron 

never supplied the blue paint needed, and it was too 

expensive for the artist to buy himself. We have so many 

choices now that it can be hard to choose! I am excited by 

the many possibilities inherent in new media and materials.

HARVEST MOON GALLERY PRESENTS

Harvest Moon Gallery Presents an exhibition of Marie Saretsky's everlasting floral arrangements and handmade paper creations.

Thursday September 2nd - Monday October 11th. Opening reception Sunday September 12th., 2pm - 5pm. The artist will be in Attendance.

Marie Saretsky's love of flowers has grown into an art. With her garden of everlasting flowers as her palette, she has been designing floral arrangements since 1991. As her garden expanded, she became enthralled with the texture of the natural fibres, and focused her efforts on processing them into paper.
Through extensive experimentation with floral design, composition, and varieties of handmade paper, Marie's craft evolved into her most recent work. Her plates, mirrors, vases, arrangements, and other designs merge the two mediums-paper-making and floral design-into unique mixed-media creations.
Marie is a juried member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council. A devoted horticulturist, she is frequently asked to speak on her art, and offers workshops in floral design, paper-making, and intuitive gardening.

UPDATES FOR THE SUMMER

Hello Hello. We've been remiss in not blogging sooner. My how time has flown! Harvest Moon started the year with an exciting Exhibition in the gallery titled Lamartine "Four Artists Three Generations."

SCC member Richard Lamartine was joined by two other generations of the Lamartine family in an exhibition at the Harvest Moon Gallery in Meacham, Saskatchewan. Richard’s work was exhibited along with that of his son (Damian), mother (Jean) and father (Gert).

The Lamartine’s are a remarkable artistic family. Gert Lamartine was born in Germany in 1898. After surviving 4 years at the Western Front in World War I, he studied at the University of Heidelburg and the Art School at Karlsruhe, and immigrated to Canada in 1925. He established a design studio and was responsible for the decoration of several CP hotels including the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, the Chateau Lake Louise and the Chateau Laurier in Montreal. Gert continued to paint, and his work was exhibited in galleries such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Dominion Galleries and the Toit de Chaume Gallery in Piedmont. He died in Germany in 1966.

Jean Lamartine was born in Montreal in 1906 and studied art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Montreal and textile design at the Pratt Institute in New York. In addition to painting, she established the interior design firm Learpoint Ltd. Her paintings were exhibited and sold through Art Lenders. Jean died in 1994.

Richard Lamartine was born in Montreal in 1948 and studied art at Sir George Williams University. While living in Canmore, Alberta he became well known as a painter and photographer. In 1999, he also began working in ceramics, specializing in raku fired ceramic animal masks. In 2002, 3 of his masks were selected to decorate the conference room at the G8 summit in Kananaskis Village, Alberta. Richard moved to Meacham in 2007.

Damian Lamartine was born in Calgary in 1978. He is a graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design, and works as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.

Lamartine – Across the Generations ran at the Harvest Moon Gallery in Meacham from June 11th to July 12th.
