Opening Reception: October 5 from 4 – 7 p.m.

The exhibit explores the meaning and purpose of edges, in all their various forms.

“Edges categorize, conceptualize and create order,” Waters explains. “They define our art, our lives and the world around us. Soft and lost edges create an elusive atmosphere and allow for imagination. Nature is rarely defined by a hard line - hence I use them in moderation to add power and highlight the centre of interest.”

Waters challenges herself to go beyond her comfort zone and find her edge. “I am always learning new techniques, styles, and seeking new inspiration in nature,” she says. 

“As a former forester and an artist, the interplay of the edge effect fascinates me and inspires much of my art. I use watercolours as they are portable, spontaneous, light and transparent. There is a fine line between controlling the process and just letting the paint flow and intermingle on its own.”
