HIGHER ASPIRATIONS. A collection of recent mixed media and paintings by Peter Dumans
From August 31 to Wednesday, September 29
Artist reception: Saturday, September 11, from 1pm to 5pm
Come join Peter on his 60th birthday.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Peter Dumans is a Winnipeg artist. He developed a need to express himself visually from an early age. He began in his high-school years and went on to take a number of off-campus courses to augment his passion for creating in metal. Self-educated, Peter sought to defy classification and be able to explore his art form in an uninhibited fashion without restrictions.
Peter predominantly creates in copper, brass, chrome and stainless steel. His sculptural forms and multimedia collages also incorporate multi textural techniques. His small scale collages are a recent departure.
“My purpose is to create pieces of work that
embody wholeness, harmony and radiance.”
ABOUT THE SHOW
Peter has taken a departure from his metal work and is now trying his hand at painting. The show will represent recent works of Peter’s paintings and collages.

HERSTORY, Paintings and Stories by Naomi Gerrard and Lori Zébière
Opening from October 5th to November 2nd
Artist reception Thursday, October 7 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM
ABOUT THE SHOW
HERSTORY - Canadian Painters Naomi Gerrard and Lori Zébière explore life experiences, beliefs, loves, losses, hopes and dreams from the female perspective. They invite you to share in their unique stories, and then to ponder your own. If you were to tell your story, what would it be?
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Naomi Gerrard - A Canadian ARTIST; wife, mother and nurse; interested in kids, their families and their communities, their psychological and physical health. Art for me is a language, a therapy, a window opening to reveal glimpses of "Her Story". I am fascinated with the energy, colour, shapes and forms and psychology of children exploring life, experimenting, finding friends, practicing and just having fun. I am attempting to understand and express glimpses of 'her story' using the language of art. I am working primarily with acrylic at this time, layering, building and searching for the lines, shapes and colours to express the thoughts of the moment.
Lori Zébière - Much of my current inspiration comes from Manitoba herself, drawing on her legends and symbols. I find peace and freedom flow through me as I work, like water washing over the beach. For me, creating a good painting parallels living a good life; I'm always evolving, always moving forward, always learning from the past. I build, tear down, and build up again many times over, while never completely destroying my starting point. A little of the past always can be found peering through to the present. I do not wish to copy mother nature, as I believe she is already perfect; I only wish to interpret her beauty, energy, power and spirit and capture it on my canvas.

CONNECTEDNESS, New Work by Kathleen Hamman-Buckoski and Judith Panson
Opening November 7th from 12 to 5pm
And continues to Wednesday, December 1st
ABOUT THE SHOW
"Connectedness" a sense of being part of something larger than oneself - it is a sense of belonging, or a sense of accompaniment. It is that feeling in your bones that you are not alone.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kathleen Hamman-Buckoski was born in Kamloops, British Columbia and raised in the interior of B.C. She received her art education in the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson, BC and after completing her post secondary education, moved to Manitoba in 1982.
Since moving to Manitoba, Kathleen's work has been on exhibit at several galleries and juried art shows. Her work can also be found in private collections in both Canada and the United States.
Kathleen's work reflects a realistic, yet imaginative style with her first passion being the beautiful and sometimes harsh landscapes of South Eastern British Columbia. Since moving to Manitoba her subject expanded to the back alleys of Winnipeg and the prairie landscape, then into other areas of Canada and the United States with her travels around North America.
Judith Panson was born in England and has lived in Canada since 1965. She graduated in art from Plymouth and London Universities and has taught art at all levels from elementary through college. She has worked at various arts related positions including design studio, pottery studio, department store window dresser, illustrating for greeting cards, a cookbook publisher and most recently illustrating early readers for Blueberry Hill Publications.
Her work has been in gallery solo and group shows in Manitoba, Ontario, Colorado and Mexico. She has won awards in juried shows in both Manitoba and Ontario for water media and printmaking. Her quilts have been in the Quilt Canada national juried show, won three prizes (two firsts and a second) at Manitoba Prairie Quilters’ Quilt Reflections in 2005 and a first, second and Best of Show in 2008. Her work hangs in both corporate and private collections in Mexico, Australia, Canada, England, Switzerland and the United States of America.
