Kudos...

... Kudos to Morris Piccone for winning third prize, for “Dancer 4”, in the annual Neilson Park Creative Centre Juried Show, Impact 2011. Morris also had another painting accepted.

Congratulations as well to the many EAG members who entered the show and were accepted: Alice Berloni, Fred Collins, Susan Dain, Mary Anne Dente, Adrian Greene, Patricia Lynne Harris, Helen Jones, Barbara Kendrick, Hiromi Marcinik, Ian Maynard, Eileen Menzel, Renee Middleton, Mickie Petursson, Pam Pols, Rena Sava, Mara Schiavetto, Linda Semple, and Quan Steele.

Further congratulations are extended to Alice Berloni for her successful solo spring show, From My Window, at the Neilson Centre. The show included two bodies of work exploring the notion of windows from a different prospective. The first one was a group of non–objective paintings with New York City as theme; the second one was a group of abstract paintings of La Boca, a very unique and colourful neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Alice reports that she sold six paintings at the opening. In July, she was also invited to be the guest artist at the Andrew Richard Designs Annual Trade Event, called SECRETO DE VERANO, where she exhibited some paintings from her La Boca Series. The well attended show led to her being invited to showcase her work at Malbec, a restaurant in Toronto. Like many EAG members, Alice will enter one piece at IMAGINATION, the artists’ choice exhibition at NPCC. Well done Alice!
