With  a dedicated  Board of Managers, a membership of hardworking individuals and the support  of the community, Gallery in the Grove strives to move forward into the future with excellence.

Nestled among a grove of towering trees in Wildwood Park is the historic and stately Faethorne House built in 1875.

In 1980, a small group of people interested in establishing an art gallery were given permission to use part of the property and it became Gallery in the Grove on the upper floor of the building. The Bright's Grove Library occupies the lower floor.  Gallery in the Grove is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers.

GALLERY IN THE GROVE is pleased to announce our

GERALDINE COSGRAVE
Geraldine was  born and educated in Ireland  She was a resident of Sarnia from  1953 – 1976  at which time the family were sent to New Jersey and now reside in Pennsylvania.  Geraldine is a pastel painter and a juried signature member of the  Pastel Society of  America winning many awards along the way. Pastel is an exciting medium and uses pure pigment mixed with a binder to form sticks in an amazing array of colours.  Colour and light draw the viewer into Geraldine’s paintings of flowers and landscapes  Ten years ago Geraldine had an exhibition and sale of her work at the Gallery in the Grove  She and her family are looking forward  with excitement  to connecting with friends and acquaintances again on May 4th 2008.


 

NORA ROBERTS
Nora was born in Toronto and now resides in Lakefield, Ontario. She has painted the “Canadian Scene” in all its seasons for many years in a variety of media though in this show she is exhibiting oils. Nora’s work has been shown in many venues in the Toronto area and had a painting chosen for the 1987 Dupont Canada Calendar. Her art education includes classes at the Don Valley  School of Art, Ontario College of Art, Wexford Collegiate (Chinese brush painting), John Smith Art School, Artists Select and Cranley Studios where she taught for two years. She has also taught workshops in Campbellford, Fenelon Falls, Dorset and Lakefield area and had her first show in the 80’s. Nora is the mother of our very own board member Barb Griffiths. 

Geraldine and Nora were both honoured in the Gallery in the Grove 2007 invitational. Geraldine won an Award of Merit for a pastel “Tinged with Gold” and Nora won the People’s Choice award for an oil painting “Home Sweet Home”.
