An exhibition in Gallery I, April 5 – May 9, 2025

Artists Reception: Saturday April 5, 2pm-4pm

From April 5 to May 9, Sivarulrasa Gallery is delighted to present Landmarks, a duo exhibition featuring works by artists Wendy Robertson and Jane Irwin. Using a variety of media, each artist explores the Canadian landscape through a contemporary lens.

Born and raised in the Toronto area, artist Wendy Robertson’s work is inspired by the natural environment and her intimate observations of nature. Her preferred locations are in Northern Ontario and Canada’s National Parks, with a focus on pristine natural habitats. Working with oils and palette knives, her paintings of rock surfaces, shorelines, and landscapes convey both intimacy and grandeur. Wendy Robertson’s works have been exhibited in Ontario and Newfoundland, and are held in many private collections. In 2022, Canada’s Official Residences Crown Collection acquired her work Jasper.

In contrast to Wendy Robertson’s works in oil, artist Jane Irwin presents several new works in watercolour, from her recent explorations in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Ontario. Jane Irwin received her BFA in drawing and painting from Mount Allison University, New Brunswick, in 1977. Drawing and painting have always been integral parts of her artistic explorations. Jane Irwin’s work has been exhibited in Ontario and New Brunswick and she has been awarded grants from the Ontario Arts Council. She currently works from her studio in Toronto.

Artists Reception: Saturday April 5, 2pm-4pm. Artists Wendy Robertson and Jane Irwin will be in attendance.
