Gallery Exhibits

• The Glorious Colours of Nature from artist Nadi Wesley invites viewers to feast their eyes on Mother Nature's glory and take in the joy and excitement of colour! Through the medium of paint, artist Nadi Wesley finds joy in nature and depicting their view of the natural world. “The whole essence of colorful nature is food for the soul...’eye candy’ as they say. Sharing to my audience the possibilities of seeing beyond the obvious, and perhaps seeing the world in technicolor and appreciating what surrounds us is my goal.” The Glorious Colours of Nature opens on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at the Heritage House.

• Recent Paintings from Artist Craig Carty explores the recent works that have been created from 2019 – 2024. Craig began his art journey in Montreal in 1987, studying graphic design. Throughout the years, Craig’s art has transformed from his original roots, to paint. Currently a Smiths Falls resident, Craig continues his art journey, searching and discovering through painting, his art and himself. Recent Paintings will be on display at the Heritage House from April 17 – May 1, 2024.
