"Painting the Ontario Landscape" This art exhibition features paintings by the late Jane Champagne, long-time resident of Southampton. Jane was a force of nature, Gaia personified! A fierce advocate for the soul's expression, she found her Source in the spirit of the land, and found in the land, her spiritual home. Her voice, in the written word, and her brush, birthing colour into form, were her tools for calling us to preserve the land, and for calling us to express our own soulfulness, the gift of Spirit that we all share. This exhibit celebrates Jane’s spirit, creativity and love of the land, open until April 30, 2019.
