I have new work at 33 East Street Gallery in Goderich!

I have some other artworks at 33 East Street Gallery from the “Found” exhibit this year as well!

“Between Awake and Asleep” in the foreground and from left to right in the background “Mind Clutter,”,“Roads and a Fall Walk with Conversations,” & “Green Road” all Framed.

Picking up "Metatron" from 100 Kellogg Tomorrow - I was in the 2023 Art Comp.

“Metatron” is variably - 7 feet high by approximately 3 1/2 feet wide by at least 10 inches deep, with the protruding left arm..

The support is a hand made painted canvased panel combined with materials from a thrift store in Costa Rica. What was amazing is that Metatron’s body is made from two street hockey nets originally from North America. The hockey figures were painted intuitively with acrylic paint and reconfigured to make one figure. The backing and wings of the figure is made from a canopy also from North America. Metatron’s halo is made from left over material from my studio. He is stuffed with pillow stuffing. It is interesting that my intuitive process of taking materials and letting them speak to me and creating in the only way I know how created such a meaningful subject.

“Found” at the St. Thomas Elgin Public Art Centre - Kim Wilkie

Top Image is called “The Landscape” which is on masonite which was a backing for a framed artwork and the painting marks is a response to the marks made on the masonite over the time it was in my studio. The lower image is of a wall sculpture called “Soft Picasso” which is made with a used frame and stretcher bar and stuffed animals saving it from possible landfill.

The end of the season and the closing of the Garage Gallery Benmiller

We are closing the Garage Gallery Benmiller

I am writing here to let everyone know that my husband John and I have decided to close the Garage Gallery Benmiller this year. We found that we were just a bit out of the way for people to come to see the exhibits here in Benmiller, Ontario. I will continue to work on my art and to exhibit my art in different galleries from here forward. Thank you, to all the artists who exhibited with me here in Benmiller and to those who chose to come to our small gallery to see new contemporary art that we chose to share. It is always a duty for artists to share their art and for other artists to view art in person to see what others are doing or to learn from what is being exhibited.

Below are some short videos of each gallery exhibit we had.

I apologize that I did not take a video for the short exhibit in 2017 where Mona Istrati-mulhern, Ruth Maclean, and Linda Wiebe exhibited their work with me in 2017.
