Bonnie McBride
Pieces of Me
May 18 - June 28, 2023

Artist's Statement

During the COVID lockdown, Bonnie McBride expanded her book and journal-making practice to hardcover and softcover books. McBride describes her handmade books as "fractured, renewed, and reconstructed." Each unique book in the exhibition Pieces of Me incorporates favourite bits of fabric and paper, stitched and bound into signatures and paired with covers fashioned from hand-painted paper, rag paper, book cloth, leather, or bamboo paper. 

​

Bonnie McBride has been creating art for 25 years. Her mark-making practice extends to many media, including painting in watercolours, acrylics, and oils and drawing in ink, coloured pencil and soft pastels. She also enjoys sewing and slow stitching, which she has incorporated, along with collage techniques, into a body of works called Pieces of Me.

Read all about it! The Art Gallery of Regina's Summer 2023 newsletter is available to read online.

Outside the Box Hallway Gallery

Lorraine Weidner
Whimsical Flowers + Chairs
May 18 -  June 28, 2023

Artist's Statement
Artist Lorraine Weidner probes the reactiveness of flowers — their sensitivity to colour, sound, precipitation, touch, and temperature and their effects on humans — in her oil bar, pastel and graphite works. She has recently turned her sensitive investigations to chairs as objects intimately connected to the human body. 

​

Lorraine Weidner has been making art for 35 years. She began her career as an artist when she enrolled in George Glenn’s class at Emma Lake. She works primarily with oil paint, oil bar, and pastel.

The AGR is delighted to announce this year's major Fall workshop: Dynamic Acrylic Opportunities with Brian M. Atyeo! 

Dates: November 3, 4, 5 

9 - 4 PM Daily

​

In this hands-on, three-day workshop, participants will explore the acrylic painting medium, and its abilities to create both opaque and transparent results in paintings. We will also look at the use of strong contrast in both colour and tonal value. All levels are welcome.
