Address: Smiths Falls, Eastern Ontario, Canada

Through catastrophic brain injury and resulting trauma comes a channel of expression from which I create my artworks.

Having an education in art, I have learned skills such as Life drawing, Still Life, Shape, Principles and Elements, Colour, and Fundamentals. This has given me a successful career as a well-established professional artist.

My work is represented and seen throughout North America and I have participated in various regional art shows, and solo shows in Montreal, Ottawa, and Kingston as well as having been honored to participate in The Florence Biennale in Italy, Chicago USA’s Art Expo, Toronto’s Arta Gallery’s Modern Woman and London Vogue. My Artwork is currently being shown in Prestigious Galleries across Eastern Canada.

I have had my work mentioned in numerous documents and literature. My artwork has been heavily collected by the Federal Government of Canada as well as held in many private collections and in many countries.

I continue to challenge myself to create a multi-dimensional world on a two-dimensional stage in order to achieve depth and emotion in each piece.

Portrait of Henrietta Skerrett Montalba (1856-1893)

Artist: H.R.H. The Princess Louise (British, 1848-1939)

Date: 1882

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Henrietta Skerrett Montalba

Henrietta Mary Ann Skerrett Montalba (8 April 1848 – 14 September 1893) was a British sculptor, born into a renowned family of artists. She studied art at what was to become the Royal College of Art with fellow-student, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. The Princess painted a portrait of her which today hangs in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada. She first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1876, and her work was often seen at the Grosvenor Gallery in London. Montalba was rarely separated from her family, residing in later days chiefly at the family home in Venice, Italy. She died in Venice, on September 14, 1893, and was buried near her father in the island cemetery of San Michele. One of her sculptures, a bronze titled Boy Catching a Crab, is in the collection of The Victoria and Albert Museum.

Gastown of the 1990s, a realist painting of Water Street and the Gastown Steam Clock by Paul Rupert. Paul Rupert (1946-2013) was a Canadian realist painter who trained under Arthur Lismer of the Group of Seven. From his obituary in the National Post:

Paul obtained his formal training at the school of art and design of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where he studied under the late Arthur Lismer (Group of Seven) and at Concordia University. His unique use of the palette knife and oil paints earned him worldwide recognition in such noted collections as: Royal Bank of Canada, Corby's Distilleries, International Bankers Club in Hong Kong, Molson Breweries, Montreal Stock Exchange, Canadian Embassy in Washington, Governments of Alberta and Ontario, Canada House and Ontario House in London, England, The National Gallery, The Claridge Collection, Lower Canada College and many others. Paul was commissioned to paint many of North America's renowned golf courses including The Royal Montreal Golf Club, The Shaughnessy Golf Club in Vancouver, Nicklaus North, Chateau Whistler, and The Augusta National Golf Club.

You can date the painting to around 1994 or beyond, not from the cars which are mostly from the 1980s, but from the Starbucks located at Water and Cambie Streets. This location operated there from 1994-2022, when it was announced in January it had closed permanently after 28 years at this location.

I don't see many other paintings around Vancouver by Paul, and I can't find a record of any major shows he had here, though it is quite likely he did exhibit work here at some point, especially with this poster as evidence, and his work with the Shaughnessy Golf Club. If you spot more of Rupert's local work, let me know!

Culture Without a Price Tag

By Harshita Verma

Have you ever dreamt of wandering through a museum, surrounded by ancient artefacts and famous paintings, without spending a dime? It’s a thrilling thought, but should it become reality? In this article, we’ll dive into the heated debate over whether museums should be free for everyone and see what's really at stake when it comes to making culture accessible to all.

Breaking down barriers

Picture a world where everyone has access to the treasures of our cultural heritage. Advocates for free museum entry argue that museums are not just places for storing famous artefacts, they are vital educational institutions that should be open to all, regardless of socio-economic status. 

Free entry can also democratise cultural participation, fostering a more inclusive and diverse audience. When museums are accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, they become spaces for new discoveries and foster understanding. This inclusivity can lead to a richer and more engaged community, where people from all walks of life come together to appreciate each other’s culture. 

Take, for instance, the story of the British Museum in London. It’s one of the most visited museums in the world, and it's completely free. This has allowed millions of people, from local students to international tourists, to explore its vast collections without financial barriers. Imagine the knowledge and inspiration we could gain if more museums adopted this model!

Moreover, educational benefits are a significant argument for free museums. Schools often take students on field trips to museums as part of their curriculum. Free entry would make it easier for schools, especially those with tight budgets, to provide these enriching experiences. Students can see history come alive, engage with interactive exhibits, and gain a deeper understanding of the subjects they study in class. For many, these experiences spark a lifelong interest in learning and discovery.

Funding the Fun

On the flip side, museums need money to keep things running smoothly. Admission fees help cover the costs of preserving ancient artefacts, creating cool new exhibits, and hosting fun educational programs. Without this money, museums might not be able to offer the same high-quality experiences—or worse, they might have to close their doors. 

Museums are expensive to operate. They need to maintain the physical space, care for delicate artefacts, create new exhibits, and pay staff. All of these activities require substantial funding. Charging admission helps ensure that museums can continue to provide excellent experiences for their visitors.

For example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York charges around $86 as fees, and these funds help it to maintain its world-class collection and offer special exhibitions that draw visitors from around the globe. Without these fees, the museum might not be able to sustain its high level of programming and upkeep. 

Finding a Balance

So, how can we make sure everyone gets to enjoy museums without breaking the bank? Many museums are trying out cool ideas to find a balance. Some offer free admission on certain days or for specific groups, like students or local residents. Others use a "pay-what-you-can" model, so you can contribute whatever amount works for you.

For example, the Art Gallery of Ontario offers free admission on Wednesday evenings, making it accessible for those who might not be able to afford the regular admission fee. Similarly, many museums in Washington, D.C., including the Smithsonian Institution museums, are free every day, supported by government funding and private donations.

These innovative solutions aim to make museums accessible while still generating the necessary funds to operate. They also encourage a diverse range of visitors, fostering a more inclusive environment where everyone can feel welcome.

Conclusion 

The debate over whether museums should be free is a tough one, with good points on both sides. Free entry means more people can experience the awesomeness of museums, but admission fees are crucial for keeping these places alive and thriving. Maybe the best answer lies in finding creative ways to make museums affordable for everyone while still bringing in the money they need to operate. 

As we think about this issue, one thing is clear: We all want to make sure everyone has the chance to explore, learn, and be inspired by museums. After all, they’re places where we can all come together to celebrate our shared history and creativity.

In a world where access to knowledge and culture is increasingly recognized as a fundamental right, museums play a crucial role. They are more than just buildings filled with old objects; they are dynamic spaces that connect us to our past, inspire our present, and shape our future. 

So next time you’re planning a visit to a museum, think about the debate over admission fees. Consider the value these buildings bring to our lives and how we can support them in a way that makes them accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a fan of free entry or see the necessity of fees, one thing is certain: museums are treasures worth preserving and sharing with all.

"The Little Shepherdess (1892) "Oil on canvas, 160.6 x 114.0 cm" [Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada] -- Paul Peel (Canadian; 1860 - 1892)

Paul Peel (1860-1892) was the son of a marble-cutter and drawing teacher (John Robert Peel). He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy, Philidelphia (1877-1880 under Thomas Eakins); the R.A. Schools, London (1880); and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris (1881) under Gerome and others.

He returned to London, Ontario, and Toronto for a short time about 1890, but was chiefly active in Paris. He travelled widely in Canada and in Europe, exhibiting as a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy. He later returned to Paris where he died in October 1892. Before his death he had achieved a considerable success for his technique in such academic subjects as 'After the Bath' (1890).

He was one of the first Canadian painters to portray nude figures, as in his A Venetian Bather (1889). At the time of his death Peel appeared to be changing his style toward Impressionism. However, he did not live to develop his art beyond its academic sentimentalism.

Esmaa Mohamoud, To Play in the Face of Certain Defeat (exhibition)

"Mohamoud draws on the modern industry of professional sports, which she equates with a covert form of neo-slavery. The London, Ontario-born artist transforms athletic equipment and symbols to illustrate pervasive, discriminatory behaviours and attitudes based on race, class, gender, and sexuality. She examines collective and individual struggle, focusing on the homogenization of bodies within high-level athletics, and the enforced play out of competitive violence between Black subjects. Through sculpture, photography, video, and installation, she investigates how high-level athletics operate as sites of corporate profit and discrimination.

The dozen artworks in this exhibition consider a variety of concerns. Mohamoud’s appropriation of basketball jerseys within Victorian-era ballgowns, for example, complicates the sport’s fraught relationship with queer, gender-fluid, and female identities. Reconstructed football equipment, including branded black leather footballs and African wax-printed helmets, celebrate cultural plurality through their exuberant, diverse designs, while also protesting the staged enactment of Black violence for entertainment."

One thing that can't easily be shared but was easily my favourite piece in this exhibition was a video/projection installation titled From the Ground We Fall, which had Nina Simone's Ne Me Quitte Pas on repeat playing over it. The video is a performance set in a field, where two players (football in this case) are connected by chains and each of them are trying to run in opposite directions, meaning they continually pull each other backwards. I would go up to close out the exhibition and just stand in the small room that housed this piece, watching and listening. The projection took up 3 walls, which meant you were surrounded by the activity. (it's been a couple years and I couldn't find confirmation of the song, but I'm fairly certain it was Ne Me Quitte Pas. If you know better, lemme know and I'll edit!).

"The explicit frustration and lack of progress shown in the video expresses the ubiquitous presence of racism throughout North American society. The activity mirrors a common situation in disenfranchised communities within marginalizing systems, wherein community members are often pitted against one another."
