48th annual Toronto Outdoor Art Show selects two Mill artists

Glass artist Andrea Ripley and mixed media artist Carmen Hickson were selected from over 1300 applicants to participate in the 2009 Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition (TOAE) held at Nathan Phillips Square July 10, 11, and 12.

As the largest outdoor art exhibition in Canada, the TOAE offers a fresh-air alternative to conventional art shows and galleries. Approximately 500 artists participate and over 100,000 visitors attend the exhibition every year. Side by side, established artists, undiscovered talents and innovative students sell their work directly to the public and make lasting connections with art dealers and collectors.

You can visit Andrea in booth #321 in the Green section and Carmen will be at booth #530 in the Turquoise section.

New Associate Artist joins Stone Sculptors

Sandra Hayworth

It is with great pleasure we welcome Sandra Hayworth as an Associate to the Stone Sculptors studio.

Sandra’s original studies included Anthropology and Archaeology. Born and raised in Canada, Sandra lived in the Bahamas for much of her later life, and has two sons resident there. She took up oil and pastel painting in the Bahamas, and developed a considerable body of work there.

Sandra’s introduction to sculpting was through life and portraiture sculpture at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and subsequently at the Oakville Art Society. She then began taking courses in soapstone sculpting with us. Her present art practice tends towards using shells as her starting point, abstracting and simplifying forms to bring out the beauty of the stone. At her most whimsical, her “Eggs With Legs” have found a ready audience. You will notice we have included two of her pieces in the Gallery show.

Sandra has been attending courses in Studio 5 for over 4 years. Her skills have developed to a point whereby Associate standing in the studio has been approved.
