Brenda LaRose is a contemporary representational landscape painter who lives in Halton Hills, Ontario and has been painting for over 30 years. While she grew up on a farm in rural Ontario and has lived in a small town for 35 years, her time spent in northern Ontario in the last 10 years has ignited a passion for scenes with water, rocks, trees and most especially, the sun.
Her art education consisted of many workshops with a wide variety of mediums and many types of subject matter over the years. Currently, she is using palette knives and thick acrylic paint on canvas to express the serenity of the lake scenes she photographs while kayaking the lake.
Brenda has exhibited at a variety of galleries, shows and venues including:
– 3rd Floor Gallery, Wyndham Art, Guelph
– Lakeshore Art Trail, Mississauga
– Helson Gallery, Georgetown
– Alton Mill Arts Centre, Alton
– Leslie Grove Art Gallery in Toronto
– Fine Art Society of Milton – on-line gallery plus in-person shows at Holcim Gallery
– Artisan Market, Dundas
– Muskoka Arts & Crafts Show
– Dockside Art and Music Festival, Gravenhurst
– Auburn Gallery, Gravenhurst
– Solo on-line show with the Arts on the Credit
– Arts on the Credit Member – Spring & Fall Shows in Port Credit (since Fall 2021)
Her landscape painting “Silvercreek Bridge” was selected for the “Under Wraps” public art project with the Town of Halton Hills in 2021 and the image was used as a wrap for an electrical box. She is now a member of the Town of Halton Hills Public Arts Advisory Board, where she helps to bring public art into the community.
