Camille Jodoin-Eng

Camille Jodoin-Eng’s work approaches the interplay between physical and psychological space by engaging with spatial and sensory properties such as light, dimensions, and perspectives. Often inspired by shrines and temples as spaces devoted to reflecting on otherworldly existences, her work engages with repetition and symbology to create a physical manifestation of infinite space. Jodoin-Eng has developed a studio practice that involves drawing, sculpture, fabrication, installation, and a growing visual language of personal symbols.

Chuck Beamish

Chuck Beamish’s professional practice as an artist has been informed by his work as an architect and designer. Having worked in Algonquin Park during his youth, Beamish has an ongoing passion of traveling and camping throughout the interior of the park and parts of Northern Ontario via canoe and ski. These scenes are depicted in plein air compositions, celebrating the landscape and its transitions through the seasons.

In his most recent practice, Beamish is looking to investigate the seams between painting, sculpture and architecture: to study the potential for three-dimensionality within painting that provides actual and implied spatial experiences. In turn, this work has influenced the way in which he views and depict the experience of being North. With a professional output focused on the act of making and influencing space, Beamish has designed and managed a variety of large scale construction projects across Ontario.

Chuck Beamish has a postsecondary education which includes a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto; Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in New York; Masters of Business Administration from the University of Toronto, and a bachelor of Fine Art, Ontario College of Art & Design, (OCAD University).

Charlene Margo

Charlene is a self-taught abstract landscape and seascape artist.  Growing up in Kingsville, Ontario on the shores of Lake Erie, Charlene was surrounded by rural farmland, natural wooded areas and the ever-changing water.  Those elements can be found repeatedly in her work. Charlene has always been a creative person and has worked with stained glass and pottery, as well as hand made jewellery, sculpting and even welding. 

Always willing to try new things, Charlene decided to experiment with paint and canvas in 2017.  What started out as a hobby has become her passion. Using primarily a pallet knife and other unconventional tools, Charlene adds texture and colour to the canvas, building layers and depth.  The process is experimental and intuitive at the same time.  There are no rules when she is painting and finds her best pieces reveal themselves when she is caught up in the moment and mood of the painting.

Billy Bert Young

Billy Bert Young explores the possibilities of rendering architectural and figural motifs. He repeats icons and shapes across packed vistas, a consequence of the influence of artists such as Marc Bell and Kim Moodie, and from his own compulsive horror vacui. He admits to providing the viewer no visual resting point, but instead offers hours of exploration, following the intricately-plotted, interconnected tubes, ribbons and piping.
