Algoma artists featured in Buckhorn, Ontario

PRESS RELEASE

GALLERY ON THE LAKE

*************************
Gallery on the Lake is proud to announce the opening of Northern Euphoria, a group show featuring paintings of the Algoma Region by acclaimed Canadian Painters: Tim Packer, Laura Culic, Marc L. Gagnon and Barb McGuey.

In late September of last year these four artists spent a week spiritually connecting with the Northern Ontario Landscape of Lake Superior Park and Agawa Canyon.

Living on a specially outfitted caboose within the canyon, the artists spent five days hiking and painting in this awe inspiring wilderness.

Northern Euphoria is the title of the show and the emotion these artists hope to evoke in the viewer.

The show will feature plein air paintings done on location as well as large studio works.

The artists came together as a result of their association on the board of directors of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour.

Packer and Gagnon are Past Presidents, Culic the Executive Director and Mcguey a former Board Member.

The artists are also members of a number of other prestigious art organizations including the Society of Canadian Artists, The Canadian Institute of Portrait Artists and the Toronto Watercolour Society to name but a few.

Although it was the the medium of watercolour that brought these artists together, the show will include paintings in a variety of mediums… with oils being the most prevalent.

Opening Reception & Meet the Artists May 19, 2007 from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m. with all artists present.

Show will run until Friday June 15th, 2007
