<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To me, life is the freedom to be passionate, have respect and unconditional love towards people, animals, nature and the world around me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Growing up in an artistic family in Munich Germany, I studied many art movements. The vivid colour combinations and strong messages of the "Expressionist" movement had a great influence on me. If I had to describe my art it would be "expressionistic".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I studied Art in Germany under my father’s guidance and later acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal with a major in sculpting and painting.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being a sculptor the figures I paint have a tendency to be three dimensional. I am happy and satisfied with a painting when the subjects have come alive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Using Acrylic paint on canvas gives me the perfect medium to express myself. I always start with painting the eyes and once I have discovered their secret, the rest follows by itself. I often feel that my hand is guided when I paint, and many times the result becomes a surprise.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Often, the reason I undertake a painting is because I am inspired by the beauty of the subject. Most recently I started a series of paintings depicting endangered animals to voice my concern.</span></div>

Her artistic expression through wood grew overtime. She started in 1997 working part time with her Master Carpenter partner finishing his cabinetry and furniture. She then moved to the lathe, hand carvings and eventually into building canoe furniture and historic reproductions. Having carved stump men and gnomes for years by hand, she picked up the chainsaw a couple of years ago to enable her me to go larger, quicker and work with unique pieces of wood otherwise too large for the workshop. The passion and love she felt for the chainsaw was unexpected, and has opened a whole new array of artistic expression.</div>

“When it comes to chainsaw carving, no piece of wood is the same, and I have to </div>

think carefully about every piece. The mushrooms and fungus originally captured my interest as their simple lines and curves gave me endless opportunity to understand what I was able to do with the chainsaw. This has allowed me to really begin to transfer what I envision in my mind onto a log, and has led to numerous different creations: Santas, bears, eagles, flowers, lions, sea creatures, mushroom furniture and more.

Today's Art Fayre artist is <b>Susan Jephcott</b> of Vankleek Hill, Ontario.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A pivotal hub in her regional artistic community, Sue Jephcott has been active as a full-time artist since 1956. Born in Hudson, Quebec, Jephcott's career has spanned nearly five decades, passing through notable evolutions of style and content. Ranging from highly textured figure and portrait studies to bold, hard-edged symbolism, Jephcott has absorbed and personalized classical techniques, redirecting them into the stark storytelling of her content-laden work.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What connects the work is an ongoing battle between primitive human impulses, and an unmovable density of myth and spirituality that forces the untamed (and sometimes unwilling) to do its bidding. in Jephcott's world, the spirit always wins, and those who choose the folly of greed, conflict or arrogance are spared no mercy from her cutting painterly will, of the destiny that's owed to them.</div>

Referred to by the sculptor Donald Liardi as Sue's "two by four diplomacy," her direct and often undiplomatic bluntness has lead some viewers to be uncomfortable with her work. Sometimes political, sometimes grotesque, and often sexual, Jephcott pulls no punches when she paints. She summons her own fears, dreams and anger to formulate a commentary on contemporary issues and relationships, often treating the act of painting as an incantation to cause something to happen.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Every year, Ronna's birthday falls on or near Art Fayre.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you're in the area, tune in to "In Town and Out" on CBC radio Saturday morning (91.5 in Ottawa, 95.5 in Cornwall) to hear the announcement Natalie recorded for Art Fayre. We are looking forward to seeing you this weekend, rain or shine, and hope to get more people out from Ottawa and Montreal. Wouldn't it be wonderful to sell every piece of art this year?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Come see us in Dunvegan this weekend! Beautiful art, a vernissage, artist demonstrations, yummy refreshments, and the talented David Keller playing classical guitar. What more could you ask for? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I then moved to the lathe, hand carvings and eventually into building canoe furniture and historic reproductions. Having carved stump men and gnomes for years by hand, the move to the chainsaw enabled me to go larger, quicker and work with unique pieces of wood otherwise too large for the workshop. The passion and love I feel for the chainsaw was unexpected, and has opened a whole new array of artistic expression." </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

The mushrooms and fungus have captured my interest as they are so unique and every piece of wood brings a new one alive either through the grain of the wood or the stump I am carving it from. I am now moving into carving some creatures coming out of the wood (all of which are natural /existing branches ) and adding a splash of colour to the carvings. My dolphin carvings are meant as lawn ornaments meant to view the lawn as an ocean. All these carvings are carved from tree crotches, which has the most colourful and beautifully unique growth rings."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Natalie is a graphic designer and musician by training, having graduated from the University of Toronto in 1987 with a Bachelor of Music degree, and George Brown College in 1990 with an Honours Design Diploma. She has run her own design business, Grinning Gecko Design, since 1994.<br />
<br />
Natalie began hooking rugs after moving to Nova Scotia in 1998. She learned the basics of this traditional craft from her next-door neighbours (a Newfoundlander and an Acadian).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Soon after, she began designing her own rug patterns. Using her graphic design skills and taking inspiration from the world around her, she creates rugs that usually end up as wall-hangings. To Natalie, rug-hooking is like painting with wool.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrOI6O2YNvDFUJsvgvgi-A90MXJu-vOWJFSYFrbV6nbuiBel9ptThSPwSqN43fequ0v2I0BXw9n8iStxondSPdx_lBU7prG7fgIuJgAVb5unR0AaMx__kPsx4TQIS4pRO1btmY5r4v_wW/s1600/Foster1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrOI6O2YNvDFUJsvgvgi-A90MXJu-vOWJFSYFrbV6nbuiBel9ptThSPwSqN43fequ0v2I0BXw9n8iStxondSPdx_lBU7prG7fgIuJgAVb5unR0AaMx__kPsx4TQIS4pRO1btmY5r4v_wW/s400/Foster1.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Foster</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> She enjoys dyeing her own wool, which is not only a lot of fun, but gives greater control over the colours used in projects. She hooks with new and recycled material. Many an old wool skirt has worked its way into her rugs, not to mention a coat that formerly warmed her husband! She particularly enjoys using type in her rug designs (all those typography classes paid off), and writing verse to include in the borders of her rugs.<br />
