Artist’s Statement
“in place of the beholder there is a rememberer.”
-Howard Hodgkin
I work from experience and memory. Recent travels in the high Arctic in 2018 and 2023 inform current work. The arctic experience nourishes and sustains my imagination, especially during the past pandemic years. Memory, hope, and experience are made tangible in the act of painting.
My work stems from a deep connection to place and an immersion in the natural world. Paint is applied spontaneously in a process of improvisation refined over the period of the painting process. Gesture and mark making are integral in my work.
Cultivation of the wild through Indigenous leadership can maintain a balance in this delicate environment. As Susie Evyagotalak, a leader from Kugluktut says; “Our garden is the sea.”
See beauty.
Honour the land.
The high Arctic ignites my imagination with austerity, light, space, fragility, and beauty. My response: abstract visual explorations of light, earth and sea.

September 30, 2023 – February 20, 2024, Art Gallery

In Her Garden: Amanda McCavour and Jannick Deslauriers is a two-in-one exhibition of immersive art installations. One is a botanical garden and the other, a dystopian world. Merging biblical events with futuristic prediction, In Her Garden envisions the epic narrative of humanity’s path from happy beginnings to eventual environmental devastation.
Experience the past, present, and future of our planet, coursing from bliss to abyss.
Curated by Sharona Adamowicz-Clements.

Paradise Lost: Dillon Douglas and Chris Louis

September 27, 2023 – March 10, 2024, Art Gallery Exterior Banners

Niagara-region artists Dillon Douglas and Chris Louis combine their painterly imagery in Paradise Lost, a tryptic digital composition (across three outdoor banners) where a healthy, verdant planet Earth turns into a wasteland. Packed with repetitive and overlapping motifs, both comical and strange, Douglas and Louis take us on a humbling journey of human failure (on a monumental scale) to caution us of a bleak future of our own making.

Their dedication to artistic growth has resulted in numerous exhibitions, including their annual Spring Show and Sale at Visual Arts Mississauga. Many members have participated in juried shows both nationally and internationally, some are art instructors, and some belong to prominent art associations, receiving prestigious awards for their contributions.
The membership of the Clarkson Society of Artists has changed and evolved over the years, but their core motivation to support artistic development within a social, closely-knit group has remained constant. This exhibition showcases the work of all the society’s current members, who have selected some of their favourite artworks to share with our audiences.
