Alannah's work is also referred to as A MASON ART; an eclectic 'Amasonian' collection of art. Alannah's work that is displayed today are all original acrylic paintings. She has contemporary abstract, beautiful sunsets, mystical desert scenes, and some surprises.
Alannah's primary influential artists in her life would be DaVinci and Warhol. Alannah is primarily self taught, but some of her artistic strengths are inherited by her mother, Bonita. Her art and craftsmanship branches out into so many genres. She is also a professional face painter and recently was a Makeup Assistant for the Cirque du Soleil.
You can see her work at Station 2 Studios.
Informed by her training as a dancer, Lisa has a long-standing interest in observing the human body. She is fascinated by the relationship between the body's lines and shapes, as well as the body's relationship to the larger space it occupies. Her figure studies have evolved from investigations of shapes wrapped by space to figurative lines returning to space to the inner space of the body. By reducing the figure to simple forms, she aims to capture the embodied experience of movement. Through her passion for the process of mark-making, she explores new ways to break through the surface of the body. In all her paintings, the effect is sensual and visceral, eliciting fleshiness out of stone, and sinew out of line.
With over 25 years of painting and drawing experience, Lisa has honed her painting and drawing skills at Central Technical School, York University fine arts department, and The Toronto School of Art. She continues to evolve her "bodyscapes" through local mentorship programs and artists' collectives, bringing to life the expressive interpretation of the inner landscape of the human form.
She will be showing at Station 2 Studios.
After years of dry skin - so dry that it itched, flaked and cracked - and years of using ineffective commercial soaps, creams and lotions for relief, Elizabeth Backler began creating her own soap. Bubbling with success, she started experimenting with different types of vegetable oils, common and exotic, to create a superb bar of soap that cleans and moisturizes the skin while nourishing the senses.
In 2008, she started Massey Soap House, creating bar soap as well as liquid hand soap, shower gel and other bath and body goodies. She is in the process of launching her website, http://www.masseysoaphouse.com/.
You can see her work at ZuckerLoft Studio at 14 Peltz Avenue. For more information, email soap@masseysoaphouse.com.
