SUMMARY:Sherway Gardens\' Gallery in the Garden: Window Shopping
DESCRIPTION:Taking its title from one of the works by Margaret O’Flanagan Byerley\,
	Sherway Gardens’ (Hwy 427 & the QEW) current Gallery in the Garden exhibit
	entitled Window Shopping is expressive in colour\, imagery and brushwork. All of
	the paintings by June Hoffland\, Sharon Jorgens\, Jean Mull\, Margaret
	O\'Flanagan Byerley\, Sandra Ramsden\, Donna Saull\,  Mara Schiavetto\,
	Catherine Shane\, Patricia Lund Steel and Elizabeth Strathdee push at the
	boundaries of definition and cross genres and styles. The exhibit is on display
	until Saturday\, April 28 in the corridor at door 3. For more information call
	416-621-1070 or visit www.sherwaygardens.ca.

The works of Mississauga’s June
	Hoffland look at the world with new eyes\, each piece expresses this new vision.
	 The process of creating this vision is one of continuous learning\, and of
	growing in appreciation of everything surrounding us.  In her two abstractions
	inspired by photos of an ancient observatory\, June uses a limited palette and
	structural patterning for her subject matter.   

Toronto artist Sharon Jorgens
	captures the human pulse and sensuality of nature in each work of art.  Her
	interpretations in acrylic range from the complexity of life size realism to the
	simplicity of colour and form.

Jean Mull currently lives in King City and
	paints to temporarily escape the everyday cares and enter a magic domain where
	she uses her brush to abstract the true emotions from the realistic
	world.

Mississauga’s Margaret O’Flanagan Byerley began her artistic life as
	a watercolourist. When she was introduced to acrylics\, she felt like a child
	who is given keys to the candy store and wants to try everything\, hence her
	work with figurative art\, abstracts\, collage\, semi-abstracts and whatever
	else she feels like. 

Before Toronto’s Sandra Ramsden started painting\, she
	had an intense love of fabrics and collected fabrics from many countries in the
	world.  She has always wanted to incorporate fabrics into her painting but it
	was only this year that she worked with the challenge. Her first fabric is
	denim\, with which we all can identify.

Oakville’s Donna Suall never would
	have thought that when she planted an orange begonia\, she would be able to
	watch it grow\, photograph it\, draw it and then paint it.  In all ways it is
	with her forever. She loves vivid colours and often turns to nature for
	inspiration.

Oakville artist Mara Schiavetto’s current series of abstracted
	florals results from a spontaneous burst of energy that needed to be expressed
	brightly\, directly and without hesitation. The vivid colours\, textures and
	vigorous mark-making are in contrast to her previous series of non objective
	abstractions. 

Oakville’s Catherine Shane left the corporate world in 2009
	and began to pursue her artistic passion\, embarking on her “Make Your Walls
	Laugh” series of imaginative\, whimsical and abstract acrylic paintings\,
	consisting of vibrant palettes and occasional humour in paintings that often
	tell a story. 

After receiving \'The Paper Garden\'\, a book about an 18th
	century woman who created paper collages of flora from her friends\' gardens\,
	as a gift\, Toronto’s Patricia Lund Steel was inspired to look at the world of
	flowers in a different way.  The frosted series captures the essence of her
	flower drawings and hints at the flowers\' endurance even as they age. This is
	an insight she hopes to take into her own aging process.

Toronto artist
	Elizabeth Anne Strathdee has been influenced by the spontaneity seen in the work
	of young children. She has a love of patterns in nature and its changing moods.
	For Elizabeth\, painting is an adventure much like riding must be on a magic
	carpet…the destination is unknown and is always a challenging
	surprise.\n\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios
