Anne Remmer Thompson is a Glebe artist.
Glebe artist at
Glebe resident, Anne Remmer
Thompson, CSPWC, a widely acclaimed
watercolour artist, will
be featured in the June Focus
Show at Art Lending of Ottawa.
The show is on Mon., June 17 from
7:30 to 9 p.m., and Tues., June 18
from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The entire year has been an
exciting one for the artist. In
October and November, she travelled
to Milan and Lake Maggiore,
Italy and then visited Provence,
France for the first time! The
timeless hilltop villages and the
lush countryside will be reflected
in her recent watercolours.
In the winter, six weeks
spent exploring the rugged Spanish
Costa Brava and the many
moods of the Mediterranean resulted
in expressive and varied
seascapes.
In May, Ms. Remmer 'Thompson
was honoured to be elected to the
position of Regional Director,
Eastern Ontario, for the prestigious
Canadian Society of Painters

Helene Fortin photographs exhibited
at The Urban Pear
Ask award-winning photographer
Helene Anne Fortin what
makes a great portrait "It's being
able to capture the spirit of an
individual on film, and especially
the powerful relationships in
their lives.
"By relationships, I mean the
feelings, the connectedness that
we transmit from one to another
in our daily lives. A dad's large
tender hand holding a tiny infant
son, a nursing mom cradling her
newborn, a budding musician
holding her violin with power and
pride." Photography, for Helene,
is a celebration of the human
spirit.
Though Fortin's portrait studio
is located in Wakefield, Quebec,
she's in the Glebe with her
Images of the Spirit exhibit until
July 10. See her sensitive li fesized
portraits at The Urban Pear,
151 Second Ave. (near Bank).
Just come and browse. She
promises that her images will renew
your spirit.
Glebe Collegiate
student art work
on display
in The Pantry
On display in The Pantry in
the Glebe Corrununity Centre, an
exhibit of watercolours is attracting
attention. It is the work
of a Grade 10 visual arts class
from Glebe Collegiate. The subject
is fantasy; some works represent
the fairy realm and others show a
mythological inspiration.
Arts teacher Ms. Doran saw
that the students had excelled at
this assignment and judged the
work worthy of a public exhibit.
The display can be seen in The
Pantry Monday through Friday
from noon until three p.m., finishing
June 28.
*kW*
months' rental fee is deducted
from the purchase price. It is
probably wise to arrive early at
the Focus Show to get an overview
of the paintings!
