“Rugged and Fragile”

Long-time renowned beaches artist, Elizabeth Berry, showcases her iconic watercolours and acrylics.

All are welcome. Please register here to attend.

On Thursday November 7, 6-8:30 pm, Berry launches her latest series of iconic florals and landscape paintings. Inspired by the enduring and timeless beauty of Ontario's lakes, trees and rocks, and the fleeting and elegant beauty of exotic and garden flowers, Berry offers a series of paintings that promise to thrill.   

It is a world of natural beauty, stability and tradition that she portrays. Expressed in vivid colours, flooded with sunlight, this happy universe is ideal as much as it is real. As an artist, Elizabeth promotes the idea of art in everyday life; she can be seen in remote places across her native Ontario, painting Northern landscapes, Georgian Bay and Muskoka Lakes, and in neighborhood places where flowers bloom.

Elizabeth embodies with ease the idea of a woman as a bona fide outdoor artist, with her portable easel, foldable table and a trademark umbrella.

Elizabeth Berry's works are found in corporate offices and private collections across Canada and world wide. Her first participation in the Toronto Outdoor Exhibition, in 1982, brought Elizabeth the Toronto Archive Award for Watercolour; subsequent showings earned her the Best in Watercolour prizes in 1986 and 1987.  Posters International, Canada’s largest poster producer, discovered Elizabeth at the Toronto Outdoor Exhibition. The first 2 posters they produced sold over 20,000 copies in the first year. They went on to produce over 30 posters of Elizabeth’s paintings. Her paintings are currently showing in a gallery in the Bahamas on Harbour Island.  From her early beginnings she has gone on to acclaim as an artist for almost 40 years.

Please join us at the Opening Wine and Cheese Reception on Thursday Nov 7th, 6:00pm to 8:30pm, at 2234 Queen St East, The Wright Sisters Group (next to the Fox Theatre).  All are welcome.  The show runs November 7th (evening), and Nov 8th, and 9th during the day.
