Art Talk

We just love these Art in a Box kits by Janet Liesemer. Each kit contains everything you need to create the painting and there are links to online tutorials to help you along.

Dream a dream of far flung places. Patrick Klauss of Kleno Photography is drawn to the sacred places in the world and he documents his travels in these fine art photography prints.

While they certainly can be cute and clever, you know that squirrels are the worst for robbing the bird feeder and making a mess. Moore Design Birdfeeders has created a hanging and a window attach birdfeeder that uses a clever design to discourage the squirrels.

It's National Hat Day! What a great time of year for it. The Artfest shop has some fantastic handmade hats to suit whatever weather it is. Cover that pandemic hair in style. Check out these beauties.

Warmth and good humour radiates from the quirky wonderful work of Richenda Ellis. A Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts artist, Richenda crafts in many types of media inspired by life's little moments. Be sure to visit her entire collection in the Artfest shop.

Did you know that there is a National Shop for Travel day? Neither did we, but it's today. Celebrate by planning trips for the upcoming year and ensuring you have all the accessories you need. 

We have new work in the shop by Ivan Trotter. Ivan has had a long and varied career as a Canadian artist. For many years Ivan painted the Canadian landscape in 'Group of Seven' inspired oils. A love of France and her Mediterranean neighbours has in the past decade, turned his palette to vivid acrylics, better enabling him to capture and record his passion for Provencal and Tuscan villages.

We have new jewellery items in our shop from Moosonee Puppy Rescue. These beautiful pieces are handmade by Sharron in Bracebridge. Profits from jewellery sales go to helping animals in need.

Come visit Bella Grey Jewellery Design at Artfest's Art Powered Pop Up Show in Nottawa on September 25th.
