• Opening: Fantastical Transformations

    Sunbury Shores 139 Water Street, St Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada

    Cadieux, Twombly, & Pappas Fantastical Transformations is the work of a collective of three professional artists who explore imaginary, idyllic, dreamy and sometimes sinister nature scapes and portraiture. The multimedia exhibition presents a vision that is somewhat creepy yet filled with a spark of levity and fun that embraces the fantastic. Roisin Cadieux recycles her massive archive of antique music into paper-based sculptural forms including mythical beasts and animals; Diane Twombly photographs, then digitally deconstructs abandoned or declining architecture and re-imagines them in more spacious, dream-inspired landscapes or lost places; and Jeannie Pappas' sculptural creatures suggest a ceramic menagerie that reflects nature as well as folklore and mysticism.

  • Opening: Postcards of Charlotte County & Memory 1-6

    Sunbury Shores 139 Water Street, St Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada

      Postcards of Charlotte County: Angel Commins Angel Commins uses the interplay of colour and form to celebrate the natural environment and its ability to bring peace in an often-challenging world. Through her abstractions of the environment inspired by the beauty she sees in Charlotte County, Commins looks to form, line and colour to define the landscape, create meaning, and generate an emotional response in the viewer. Memory 1-6: Audree Hamelin St Amour In her exhibition, the series Memory 1-6, Fredericton artist Audree Hamelin St Amour presents brooches using natural and found elements, and traditional jewellery techniques and materials. In her work, she reflects on memory formation and transformation, and on themes of ephemerality, transformation, and mindfulness.

  • Opening: Conversatia

    Sunbury Shores 139 Water Street, St Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada

    Jennifer Pazienza & Paul Édouard Bourque Two New Brunswick artists explore how nature inhabits us, and how we inhabit nature. For Jennifer Pazienza and Paul Édouard Bourque, the exhibition is the third in a series of three that presents a dialogue between and among their work. Their discussion centers on how individual and co-created artistic identity, memory, and time can influence art. Pazienza’s landscapes and Bourque’s images evoke a heightened understanding of the relationship between people and nature.  

  • Opening: Wildflowers & Water

    Sunbury Shores 139 Water Street, St Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada

    Amber Young Amber Young’s lyrical paintings depict how flowers expressively growing up out of wild fields or along the edges of ponds and streams can reflect in the water and grow up into expansive open skies. Inspired by her travels in Asia and her Canadian roots, the artist hopes to combine her love of water and water reflections with an exploration of blossoms and wild foliage and the feeling of being within nature.
