The Incredible Equine Art of Gabrielle Horvath

Williams Mill Artist Gabrielle Horvath with the two Arwins

You're not seeing double. There are two "Arwins" and both are remarkable.  

Gabrielle Horvath (Parkside Studio, Yellow Mill, Williams Mill) is working on a equine sculpture  that she hopes to have finished by spring. This original art work is inspired by Arwin, the wonderful jumper Gabrielle's daughter rides, and the horse that helped her place 4th over all in Ontario. 

Arabella Magazine recently published a detailed article on Gabrielle -. Learn more about Gabrielle's artist story, her artistic process, and view another wonderful example of equine sculpture  at http://www.arabelladesign.com/Gabrielle_Horvath.htm

Williams Mill Artist Kudos and Congratulations

The artists at the Williams Mill are not part of a co-operative, but they still work together to get things done!  The Mill Artists Group, known as MAG, has a new chair person for 2011 – award-winning book illustrator Karen Reczuch. (To see Karen's amazing list of books , click here). Sculptor Gabrielle Fischer Horvath is the new vice-chair, and painter Gord Stuart , glass blower Julia Hillyer, and wood carver Bryan Turner have generously volunteered to serve as building reps. Kudos to them all!

Congratulations are due to watercolour artist Gord Stuart. His watercolour painting “Winter Magic “ is  this year’s image on the City of Brampton Christmas Card. Beautifully framed, this full sheet watercolor painting, (which was also juried into the 2010 John Sommer’s Annual Juried Show) is now for sale in his Williams Mill studio.

Congratulations to Mary Ellen Farrow for her sculpture prize at the latest Colour and Form Society: 58th Annual Open Juried Show. Mary Ellen's beautifully executed sculptures always bring a smile to our faces. We at "The Mill" were already in "the know"- All Mary Ellen's stone sculpture are prize worthy! The CFS show is on until Nov. 26, 2010. Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery. 

Congratulations to Christine Montague.
