“I traveled quite a lot inside and outside of Canada, but for the first time in my life I walked into a gallery where artists actually worked on site, which was eye opening experience to watch artists work live. Both Debra and Lorne was super friendly and engaging, which gives you absolutely different perspective on art displayed at the gallery instead of just walking and looking at different pieces of artwork. Both are very experienced and talented.
Had a very interesting talk with Lorne, who drives his motorcycle sometimes to West and East coasts, across Canada for inspiration and ideas that later translates into his real artwork. He'd sit next to Canmore mountains, submerge his feet in waters around Tofino while drawing his sketches, he doesn't take pictures, claiming the view, Sun, sky change every 20 minutes. So the best way to remember it is to absorb that view by being present in the moment.
I found story of his life and his art fascinating, that probably deserves its own book or movie 😉
Visiting that art gallery and having conversations with all these nice and friendly people definitely made my day. It's a great place to visit 😊”
“Brights Gallery in Collingwood has a beautiful collection of artwork and such a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel personal and welcoming.”
“We recently purchased a wonderful painting by one of her artists Rod Prouse, which he gained inspiration after a trip to Killarney National Park. My wife fell in love with it and we got Sarah to install it in our house. To celebrate she even brought us coffee and cakes! So many creative treasures in her store, such good taste.”
