Visit the Scugog Arts Space on May 6th and 7th from 10am – 5pm during the Lake Scugog Studio Tour!
This month, Scugog Arts will be home to studio tour artists Linda Virio and Harvey Walker, two painters showcasing a warm and nature-inspired collection of their work.
Harvey Walker
Harvey Walker paints in oils, both in the studio and outside in all seasons. Sometimes his en plein air studies are inspiration for a larger painting, but often they stand alone as a capture of his emotional and physical response to the environment.
His paintings of the landscape of cottage country in particular, evoke feelings of escape and refresh. He participates in juried shows with positive results as well as multiple studio tours.
When not road or lakeside painting, Harvey can be found teaching in his studio encouraging others to see the world through their own artist’s eyes.
Linda Virio
Linda Virio is a visual artist using hot wax, resin and pigment to convey her impressions of the countryside where she lives. Colour, shape, layers and texture play against each other. Rugged surfaces in nature and history are suggested by manipulating the physical surface of the wax.
Linda has great reverence and a bit of nostalgia for nearby farms, fields and forests that are rapidly changing. Those feelings are expressed stylistically in forms that range from impressionistic, to naïve and even abstract.
Linda lives and works out of her country studio near Bowmanville, Ontario. She shows her work and teaches encaustic workshops in several local galleries.
Visit the Scugog Arts Space (Site 11 on the Lake Scugog Studio Tour) May 6th and 7th from 10AM-5PM to view the work and connect with Linda and Harvey. And, if you can’t make it this weekend, the work of the Site 11 artists will be on display at the Scugog Arts Space until May 28th!
