Katharine Mulherin was a force on Queen west. Her gallery was in the same hood as Loop, the collective gallery we started around the same time. We were all building a downtown art community together, heading west into new paradigms. Katharine led the pack with her alternative vision and quiet courage. such a shock, and such a big loss for all of us who came of age aroind her. Thank you for the expansive possibilities you inspired. https://canadianart.ca/fea/remembering-katharine-mulherin/

Geraldine Gillingham is painting up a storm in her studio at 2 Rooms Artist Residency. She recently moved back to Newfoundland where the landscape and memories of childhood inspire her paintings. Blending organic shapes, vibrant colours and sketchy lines, she intuitively responds to her environment. Her textured paintings combine bold mark making with layers of transparent glazes. They are places of imagination...

2 Rooms is pleased to welcome artist resident Sylvie Cloutier from Quebec. You may see her, sketchbook and camera in hand, as she scouts around for people and places to make her miniature portraits that she then tucks into public spaces. The subtlety of the installation process adds to the unusual effect of the discovery. Her gesture, like the action of sowing, contains the possibility of growth.
