Colin Whitebread

This summer Colin Whitebread and his wife Susan joined fellow Studio Tour artists Ray McNeice and Margaret Grandison on a trip to Newfoundland.

These four photos show the process Colin works through as he develops a new piece in preparation for this year's Stouffville Studio Tour.






Colin did detailed and interpretive sketchs. Here is the progression from drawing to photo, then an interpretive and loose bigger drawing in pastels.


 Pleased with the way things are progressing, Colin is developing a mixed-media painting of these ideas.

Ray Young

Due to circumstances beyond his control, Ray Young will not be joining us personally for the tour. However, he will have his work at Wendy Lavalle's studio where she will be showing and selling Ray's work on his behalf. Wendy is # 2 on the Studio Tour map.

Latcham Gallery

Right in downtown Stouffville on Main Street is Latcham Gallery, a public art gallery and one of our locations on the Tour.

The Latcham Gallery was started in 1979 by a group of local artists and visionaries who saw the need for an arts facility in Whitchurch- Stouffville. The Gallery was named after local philanthropist Arthur Latcham who donated money to a number of local buildings including the building that was to house the Gallery at 6240 Main Street.

Make sure you stop by to see the latest exhibition Brad Issacs  Still Life



The  Gallery is also hosting a major fund raising event the weekend after our Tour.  October 20th at 19 on the Park the Big Night Out Goes Bollywood. Art, food,dancing... a fun evening!
