A virtual exhibition featuring the work of Grade 12 and International Baccalaureate Visual Arts students from I.E. Weldon Secondary School in Lindsay, Ontario. This exhibition showcases the work of the below list of students who, throughout their creative processes, independently selected materials, imagery, themes and ideas to explore through an inquiry-driven creative process.

This constantly growing collection of pieces titled The Sound of Colour was born out of my effort to resort back to the core values of painting and expression, why I started in the first place. These paintings are renditions of visualizations caused by synesthesia, a neurological condition which causes overlapping sensory experiences. For me personally, this occurs between sound and colour.

Members of the Kawartha Arts Network are thrilled to share with you their “pandemic produced creations” and appreciate the opportunity presented by the Kawartha Art Gallery for this exhibition. If interested in purchasing a piece of artwork, please contact the artist via their email address.

We present for our viewers enjoyment and education:
ART + NATURE: OUR ENVIRONMENT IN IMAGES + WORDS
Selected Works from the Permanent Collection + Circle of Writers.
