Jennifer Long and Natt Cann: Opening Reception at Sunbury Shores 🖼️

October 4 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Jennifer Long: Mended Leaves

Canadian artist Jennifer Long has established an arts practice that addresses the complex role of women’s experiences, with its disproportionate responsibility for unpaid care work, how care is given and its impact to those involved. Mended Leaves is a photographic series that references the impact of the Covid pandemic on caring for others, and the subsequent process of repair and renewal. Through large-scale images of hybrid botanicals which the artist created, she considers quiet moments and rituals of everyday life. Based in Toronto, Jennifer has participated in several residencies and contributed to scholarly presentations and panels, and received numerous grants; her work is in private and public collections in Canada and abroad.

Nat Cann: Commorant

Commorant is New Brunswick artist Natt Cann’s collection of housing centric artworks detailing a longing for hearth and home through printmaking methods, repetition, and the contrast between idealized narratives and factual outlooks.

Colour, Colour, Colour with Maggie Rose


This 4-day intensive workshop is an information blast on all aspects of colour and colour mixing as they relate to painting. No matter your medium of choice (oil, acrylic, gouache, water-colour, pastel…), this information is applicable to all. You will learn to mix colours swiftly and accurately; learn to achieve both dynamic and subtle colour in your work; learn to get more out of the colours you already have and to make smart choices when adding to your paint box. This class teaches you how to juggle all colour attributes – hue, value, temperature and chroma.

Most importantly, it explains how to alter only one aspect of a colour without altering other elements. You’ll learn how to reduce, maintain or heighten chroma and learn how to keep hues consistent while they are lightened or darkened through all modelling factors. You’ll learn why an understanding of colour temperature is critical to successful work.

We’ll explore a variety of palettes from the simplest to more complex. There will be many mixing demonstrations, application examples and time for the execution of small projects and exercises to ensure that you fully understand the information. This class is suitable for the beginner to the advanced painter.
