April Showers

According to the old saying...

“April showers bring May flowers” originated from a short poem written by Thomas Tusser in 1557. The meaning behind is that even the most unpleasant circumstances can bring enjoyable things.

ECCO Art Gallery Studios invites you to join in celebrating this most enjoyable collection of floral works of Apsley glass artist, Susan Rankin and Peer Christensen a fine art painter from Peterborough.

“The classical technique of building up successive opaque and transparent paint layers yields the luminosity that has come to define Christensen’s style.”

“As an avid gardener, Susan continues to explore the idea of garden through her vessel and sculptural works and is well know for her vibrant floral vessels.”

Also on exhibit at ECCO Art Gallery Studios are floral works from the gallery roster of local artists Rowena Dykins, Holly Edwards, Ann Shier, and Kay Gregg.

Lords and Ladies

ECCO Art Gallery Studios presents “Lords and Ladies” an exhibition featuring an exciting new collection of mixed media collage/assemblage works by artist Kay Gregg.

“There was something about a big box of vintage brass rubbings and discarded mannequins that appealed to me.” 

"Medieval Middles" - merchandiser forms wrapped with the metallic rubbings and embellished with repurposed trimmings and found jewellery - with each regal body there must be the right accessory... Haute Stuff. Enjoy, fellow Maximalists.

This exhibition also includes a selection of profound portraits by Peterborough artist Nancy Simmons Smith. Nancy has been making art for 35 years and exhibiting since 2001.

For Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot...
ECCO Art Gallery Studios presents “for Auld Lang Syne” an exhibition featuring mixed media collage works by artists Elayne Windsor and Kay Gregg celebrating memories and times gone by through the process of collaging repurposed paper and ephemera including images and stories of the past.

Elayne has a strong art background, nurtured through classes and workshops during her 30 years as an elementary school teacher.
“with my collages I hope to usher you into a new reality. Among the minute fragments in my decollages, partial images are revealed reminding you of moments of travel, work life or everyday life.”

Kay started painting with oils and representational work, then journeyed toward abstract expression.
“a self-described maximalist, I delight in curating and composing - and big, bold colour always foremost in the process.”

Also, introducing latest works from one of ECCO Art Gallery Studios roster favourite, Annette Vlieg. "Connection"... but they can turn away from each other... then what is it about? 
Also on exhibit at ECCO Art Gallery Studios are works from the gallery roster of local artists Holly Edwards, Rowena Dykins, Christianna Ferguson, Mary-Ann Johnston, Ann Shier and Pina Romano
