When six women meet…

What happens when six women artists are brought together by serendipity to meet weekly in a beautiful studio? Stories and laughter abound as they talk, think, dream about, and make art, while they encourage, inspire, and challenge each other. With printmaking as an initial common thread, each artist brings her own style and practice across a range of mediums including painting, mixed media, printmaking, collagraph, drawing, collage and ceramics. Whether from a representational or an abstract perspective, there is an enjoyment and exploration of colour, texture and pattern in the work.

In a short period of time, the six women have become an enthusiastic studio group who meet weekly to work on their own projects. The group environment serves to push each artist to stretch her practice and to grow in confidence and creativity. This is their first group exhibition together.
