Description:

Maria Connell Art Gallery will be popping up at the Visitor Centre. Come and enjoy this holiday-themed pop-up on December 7th!

Maria was born in Italy and emigrated to Canada with her family in 1967. She grew up in Ottawa and pursued an education in recreation therapy. Maria completed courses at the Emily Carr School of Art & Design in British Columbia, the Ottawa School of Art and at the Nepean Visual Arts Centre in Ottawa, ON. As an expressive arts facilitator, Maria designed and taught courses to introduce art as a tool to help reduce stress, and enhance health and well-being. During Covid, she designed a workshop called "Art for the Heart" that included exploring various art techniques as a means to help reduce stress for healthcare workers, seniors, and individuals living alone. Maria has experimented with many mediums over the years including oils, watercolours, oil pastels, silk screen printing and fibre art. She divides her time between her home studio in Ottawa and at her lake house studio in the Pontiac, QC where she continues to paint and explore the world of art.
There will be an assortment of holiday-themed cards, felted bowls and hand-embroidered ornaments. Hope to see you there!
