Greg Van Sickle

Greg is a photographer so "On my easel" technically doesn't apply because photographers don't use easels however there is a lot of work involved to get the desired effect  

"This is the latest print in my Western Canada series. It will premier at the studio tour. I was unhappy with the first two black and white conversions as the mountain was too flat and showed no texture. This third version is on final "cool down", where I hang the print for a while to see it with fresh eyes."

Greg is #19 on the Tour this year

Less than 2 weeks

Less than 2 weeks to the 15th Annual Studio Tour

Downtown Stouffville Train Station 

All of our artists are busy... very busy getting ready to greet you. One of the features of our Tour is that each location is actually the studio/home of one of the exhibiting artist. You won't necessarily see each person's studio space.... sometime logistics prevents a lot of people from actually seeing the space, however over on our Facebook page you will find images to many of the studios
Worth a click Studio Spaces

And yes creating art can be messy!

Enjoy

Allison Bullock

"On my Easel"

During the summer, Allison Bullock was working on a series of collages and shares: 

I've always found collage challenging, but these came together nicely. Turn of the century portraits are fascinating; I always find myself wondering about the people in the photos, and then I decided to put those people into unusual situations. The results have been surreal and slightly odd..."

Allison is at Studio #15 on the tour with her mother, Diana Bullock and grandmother, Grace MacPherson.
