Paintings by James Hrkach, Chris Mussett & Heather Assaf and Chantal Auger’s pottery.

From Rhoddy’s Bay near Braeside, Ontario Heather is an intaglio printmaker and mixed media artist who expresses herself through the abstract qualities of shape, colour, line, pattern, form and texture.

Intuitive expression is at the core of her art, stimulating the viewers’ perception and imagination to “feel” and experience the paintings from their own personal perspective.

Her love of vibrant colour and strong design shows up in all her work.
