Our new "Art Gallery"
Featuring the watercolour collections of
Lynda Bee White and Catherine Simpson
Lynda Bee White
I paint to interpret an idea, or to capture a moment in time. Design, value, colour and the emotional response of the viewer to these elements are important factors I consider as I paint. The most satisfying aspect of painting for me is the journey itself. One can never stop learning, hence I will continue to paint until the end. Through my paintings I hope to communicate a strong personal language and impression of how I feel about the subject. For this reason, I remain passionate towards such a rewarding persuit.
Catherine Simpson
Catherine Simpson is emerging as a storyteller with children in the lead roles. Her predominant medium is watercolour as well as silverpoint/sculpture.
An appreciation for life's lighter side is easily ascertained when viewing her children studies.
It is with true feeling that Catherine portrays the simple message of the children that are depicted in each composition.
Catherine was born in London, Ontario, Canada, where she produces her "Forever Young" series of paintings. Her work enjoys a universal appeal, is appreciated by young and old alike and can be found in both corporate and private collections in Canada, the United States and internationally.
Participation in numerous gallery exhibitions and major juried art festivals has created a demand for her work resulting in a selection of limited edition prints, decorator prints and the award winning Pine Ridge Art Catherine Simpson Forever Young Calendars.
Catherine is a self-taught artist whose artistic gift has been acknowledged during her career with Best in Show, Peoples Choice, and the Canadian Collectible of the Year nominations six times.
"I continue to try and capture those special memories of childhood that we can all share. Hopefully the stories I tell will trigger at least one personal memory for you, of your family or your own childhood days.
Rediscovering those special times in our lives should help to brighten up each and every day ahead ~ and remind us to let our hearts ~ Be Forever Young!
In the attic of every grownups head joyful memories of youth are safely tucked away waiting to be rediscovered. My art attempts to light the way."
