Artists Statement:

“I have a love of art and my passion for painting is just beginning as I explore new styles, techniques and discover parts of our beautiful Country for the first time. Each of my paintings tells a story of something that resonates with me through an experience, often of a place I have visited for the first time or about our history that I wasn’t aware of. I love to share these stories through my work and I am grateful when others appreciate what I have created.”

Bio:

Brenda Clarke is a creative and versatile artist that has recently found her passion for painting. In the short space of four years, she has developed her talent through formal training and practice. Two of her pieces were accepted in a juried exhibition in 2016 at the Marianne Van Silfhout Gallery, St. Lawrence College, along with one piece, “Passage to Fortune” in the 2018 exhibit, which won the People’s Choice Award. Brenda has had one of her works selected by Timeraiserx Cornwall for their fundraising event in June 2018.

Inspired by the beauty of the Thousand Islands Region, exploring Canada during numerous camping trips and her love of life, she has created artwork in a variety of styles, mostly in acrylic medium and is always eager to learn new techniques and explore different mediums.

Brenda, along with two other artists, had her first show in May 2017 at the Brockville Arts Centre Lobby Gallery. She was accepted to join The Thousand Islands Fine Art Association in spring 2018 and was part of their annual show in September of the same year.  She participated in the first annual Brockville Yacht Club Art/Artisan Show and Sale in November 2018. Her work can be seen on a regular basis at the Brockville General Hospital Art Corridor, Buell St. Bistro, Brockville, ON and is proud to be the liaison for the Brockville General Hospital Art of Healing Ceiling Tile Art Project.  Recently, Brenda was asked to be the featured artist for December 2018 Thousand Islands Life.com online magazine.             Brenda Clarke (613-342-1180)
