Megan Alguire:
For my final year, I am focusing on painting, and
doing a lot of it. My art-making is based primarily on emotions; it is a way
for me to express myself and relate to other people. I enjoy pushing myself in
my artwork, and I don’t like to back down from a challenge.

Lianne Suggit:
Artist’s Statement
My work is mainly inspired by rural life and double exposure photography. I enjoy the
simplicity and plainness of the 18th and 19th century rural lifestyle. To create a sense of time I overlap country landscapes and translucent period-dressed figures, employing ghostly imagery to touch upon the idea of mental decay. I create these paintings and sculptures to explore the relationship between forgotten generations of rural life and those of today. Through my work I hope to present an interesting view of history from a
contemporary standpoint.

Emily Turgeon-Brunet:
I have always had an interest in the process of creating art, as well as the interaction between art and the viewer. The ability for art to allow an inanimate object to create living emotion is the catalyst for my passion. It exists and lives within the mind of an audience, whether by brief thoughts or by memory. Art allows for me to give physical form to an idea, either permanent or temporary. I use oil paints as my preferred medium because of the rich pigments and layering qualities it possesses.
The body of work that I have been producing this year is themed on the Eastern Ontario industries, and how they have evolved and disintegrated. I am interested in what is left of them and how they are often forgotten despite their immense structure. I find the forms of the structures to be both beautiful and intriguing because of their intricacy and their role in how Ontario has developed.

Casey Wilson
“Casey hails from Vancouver in Beautiful British Columbia. She is a painting major who
hopes to one day acquire a masters in elementary art education. Lately in her
work she has been exploring visual memory; what she remembers and what she
doesn’t about a particular place or event. She loves to use cheerful colours
and dances while she paints, and she must love the outdoors because she never
seems to paint interiors.”
