Laurie Wonfor Nolan
had her first solo show of large scale ‘plein aire’ landscapes opened
in Toronto in December of 1999. Her immediate and honest approach to painting
in the landscape now carries through to still life and urban subjects. In
addition, her life drawings and animal studies are part of many collections
where again, working directly from observation remains at the
core.
Laurie currently teaches acrylics and
offers workshops in ‘Fearless Painting’ at the Cambridge Centre for
the Arts and was the 2008 recipient of the Bernice Adams Memorial Award for
Visual Arts.
Recently live music performance painting has become
a keen interest and Laurie has had the opportunity to share the stage with a
diverse range of musicians which include the Liala Biali Trio, Brandi
Desterheft, Mr. Rick and the Biscuits and Kris Roe of the Atari’s among
others.
Laurie teams up with Ross Daly
(violin) and Jason White (piano) for a stunning visual and musical experience

In contrast to most
community-based shows, the annual Juried Art Exhibition held by the Cambridge
Centre for the Arts is varied and diverse. Celebrating its seventh year, the
exhibition features 43 works by 31 artists spanning the spectrum of painting,
ceramics, sculpture, fabric art, photography, printmaking, mixed media and
collage. Typically, most of the work is representational -- portraits and
figurative studies, landscapes and urbanscapes, nautical scenes and still life
studies. But there's a fair bit of abstraction, in addition to some whimsy and
fantasy to balance the naturalism. The work selected for the show is
consistently strong, across all media. Juror Mary Misner, director of Cambridge
Galleries, complimented the artists on both the quality and range of the
work. |
| First prize goes to
Laurie Wonfor Nolan for Still Life With Unexpected Cat, a large, assured

exhibitions offer barometric readings of local activity in the visual arts.
Based on this annual offering, it's fair weather for art in Cambridge. rreid@

Local painter Laurie Wonfor Nolan, local musicians The
Heathens and the Toronto based trio Mr. Rick and The Biscuits proved
that on Saturday, May 17, 2008. The Heathens worked
their magic early in the evening and set the scene for Mr. Rick and The
Biscuits to take the stage while Laurie captured
the moment on canvas as she painted the bands performance throughout the
evening.
Great job to everyone involved!
This is exactly the type of
setting that The Groove Kitchen
was created for.
