Here is our second group of artists participating in ART RELAY- Muskoka Style this coming Saturday!
Carolyn Devaney:
I am a self-taught artist who has resided in Huntsville, Ontario since 2020. The beauty of the area gave me an inspiration to paint. This was the beginning of my artistic journey.
My preferred subject matter is predominantly nature oriented and is conveyed with an impressionistic style. Whether I’m kayaking, hiking or snowshoeing, I cherish natures surprises that present themselves with each changing season and I strive to express the beauty that I experience through my art work.
Sylvia Kerschl
I am inspired by what surrounds me in the natural vistas of my environment. I am very textural with my paintings as I am drawn to nature in those forms such as the angular strength of rock, the misshapen beauty of trees and the softness of the underbrush on the forest floor. I now draw my inspiration from the Muskoka landscape where I have made my home. The back ponds and streams of Muskoka have always had a strong draw as well. Tumbling broken tree limbs, swamp grasses nurturing wildlife and the dusk and dawn filtering lights creating shadows and depth, all of which influence my artistic voice.
Sharon McKenzie
Sharon grew up in Huntsville, leaving to attend The Ontario College of Art where she completed the foundation year. She attended the School of Architecture at the University of Toronto and then practiced architecture for 40 years.
Sharon returned to Huntsville in 2020 and has taken up landscape painting. Sharon is a member of the Huntsville Art Society and has participated in numerous shows including the Huntsville Art Crawl, the North Muskoka Studio Tour, Partners Hall Gallery and Creative Changes.
