The Rosedale Centre Art Gallery
On the main floor of The Rosedale Centre, you’ll find The Rosedale Centre Art Gallery, a bright and welcoming space curated by members of the church’s Art Committee. For many years, Rosedale has upheld a proud tradition of celebrating creativity by showcasing the work of both emerging and established local artists, offering a place where the community can gather, reflect, and be inspired.

Artist Statement
As a lifelong lover of art, I have always been inspired by new ways of exploring my creativity. After years of painting with acrylic and oil paints, I am now incorporating the use of multimedia within my work. I am especially drawn to floral painting as flowers are typically an expression of caring and hope and their natural forms allow for a dynamic composition. When I spend time immersed in nature, I often turn to landscape painting with a focus on capturing the magic of filtered light and the organic forms of windswept pines and sparkling waterways. I am very exited to share my work with the Rosedale community.
