    Featured Artist

    Name: Naomi Assenheim
    Medium: Jewellery
    From: Georgetown, Ontario

    Growing up in Georgetown Ontario, Naomi began traveling the world at a young age. Her interests led her to a degree in Native Studies and Anthropology at Trent University. Her fascination with adornment and expression got the better of her in 2003 when she began studying carving and silverwork in Baffin Island, Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic where she trained with renowned Inuit artist Matthew Nuqingaq. She then journeyed to Mexico, apprenticing Eugenio Morales, a famous silversmith in Chiapas.

    Naomi has created some very special of a kind works especially for TREES Gallery – click here to view works

                 

    On Line Exhibit

    Our latest on-line exhibit features work by Canada’s newest group of master painters known as THE Q.

    TREES Gallery is proud to present the work of Lynda Pogue, Mary-Lou Ashton, Tanya Kirouac, Joan MacKay, Dean Munroe, Lynn Owen, Marsha Gormley and Claude Printemps in this eclectic presentation of TREE inspired work by this talented group of Canadian artists.

    THE Q stands for "The Quintessential". Formed by Covent Garden Fine Art Gallery in Ontario’s beautiful Prince Edward County, THE Q are currently being promoted throughout North America. TREES Gallery and Covent Garden Fine Art joined forces in 2007 to cross promote each other’s artists. THE Q responded enthusiastically and created some inspired works of trees, for TREES.

    Having grown up in the Quinte area, some of the works bring back personal memories, while others purely delight in all the things to love about trees! Mary-Lou Ashton’s, Shoreline Trees evokes many great memories of windy days spent at the Sandbanks, where pine, maple, hemlock and cedar forests meet the sparkling blue waters and sandy shores of Lake Ontario, while Tanya Kirouac’s encaustic work of trees in early spring light, evoke memories of sugaring off in “The County”. Lynda Pogue and Lynn Owen show us the more playful, far-away trees in mixed media, while James MacLean paints the simplistic and artistic beauty of birch trees. Come see MORE of the Forest through THE Q’s trees....
