Katrina Slade, the first Fredericton Arts Alliance (FAA) residence artist for 2022 will be breaking out
of her normal limits by making her biggest work ever – Wild Oneness.
Wild Oneness will be a mixed media series inspired by Slade’s meditative involvements with nature.
She is trying to demonstrate that all living things are interconnected. It comes out of her
experience in residence at the Kingsbrae International Residence for the Arts in St. Andrews, N.B.
Slade, who will be working on the series June 20-26, is drawn to organic shapes and patterns that
are visible in her work. She is inspired by nature when she creates art, and it often influences her
painting process.
The Fredericton-based artist holds a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a Master of Arts in
Teaching. Now devoting herself full time to her art, she is ready to break down barriers and push
her own limits.
Slade plans a public demonstration of her plein air drawing technique near the lodge in Odell Park, weather permitting, Sunday, June 26, from 3-4 p.m.
“My technique involves laying the partially completed painting onto the ground underneath some
trees,” she said. “This captures the silhouettes of the foliage and the dappled light well, which I
then trace onto the piece.”
Materials will be available so visitors can experiment with the technique.
On June 23rd at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, join Cathy Ross as she takes us through her exhibition: Ministers Island in Small Pieces.
Artist Talks are FREE and admission to the gallery is by donation! We hope to see you there!

ONE AND HALF DAY WORKSHOP | HONEYBEE FOLK SCHOOL
JULY 9, 9 AM TO 4 PM AND JULY 10, 9 AM TO NOON
A splendour of flowers and greenery surrounds us at this time of year. Capture that energy in a brightly tiled mosaic to savour once the cold weather returns. Tile and glass come in rich and highly polished colours that beautifully echo the vibrancy of a summer garden. We will also use found metal and recycled materials to add a bit of whimsy to our pieces. Feel free to bring your found treasures to incorporate into your mosaic.
Join Sheryl to create your own mosaic garden that will last you a lifetime. You do not need any previous art experience. Just bring your willingness to play and experiment and go home with your own 12 x 12 mosaic art piece. All tools and materials are supplied for the duration of the workshop.
Materials: $ 25 to be paid to the instructor on the day of the workshop. Option to pre-buy tools for your ongoing use.
Instructor: Sheryl Crowley is a painter and a mosaicist who creates works of art reflecting both the whimsy and darkness that she finds in the world. Working since 2005, she has exhibited, taught and created within both public and private spheres. She may be found in Saint John, NB.

“Breaking Out” means working bigger, using fibre art for sculpture, healing from an abusive situation, using non-traditional media, or shunning classical notions of fine art.Twelve local artists have been selected to participate in the 21st year of the Fredericton Arts Alliance’s artist in residence program producing art on the theme of Breaking Out.
From June 20 to Sept. 11, one per week, they will be working on personal projects on the theme, suggested by the relaxing of COVID19 restrictions and the ability to connect more readily with a wider world.The artists – painters, textile artists, a dollmaker and a photographer – each have a week to be featured in the FAA’s social media feed, as well as their own social media networks. Each artist is asked to have some kind of “pop-up” event where they can present their work in a more public and interactive forum. The pop-up could be during the week of the residency, or in days following it, with weather being a limiting factor. If a residency occurred during tight COVID controls or during a week of unremitting rain, the pop-up could be arranged later when the forces affecting the virus and the skies are more amenable.
The FAA pays each artist $450 for their residency and promotes their work. Until COVID struck, the FAA residencies were located in the Garrison district, but the lockdown forced them into a virtual realm for the last two years. This year is a hybrid residency with much of it virtual but the public pop-up element added.The Fredericton Arts Alliance will mount an exhibition of work produced over the summer at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre in the fall.
Participants are asked to designate a piece for this exhibition.This year’s artists, in the order of their residencies, are: Katrina Slade, Bailey Hanson, Ranmeet Kalra, Sophie Angbao, Karen LeBlanc, Emily Dow, Cheryl Lavigne, Luanna Dugas, Connie Wheaton, Ysabelle Vautour, Meg Clark and Cat Candow. They are a mix of established and emerging artists.The residency program is generously supported by the City of Fredericton and Downtown Fredericton.
