Artist of the Month

Each month, Rosedale UC invites a local artist to display their work in our church. The paintings are available for sale through the artist, and all are welcome to come and visit the church for a closer look. Our church building is open from 9:30am to 4pm, Mondays to Fridays, and on Sunday mornings from 10am to 12pm.

Here is a statement from this month's artist, Liz Komisar:

I believe that life is “just a glimpse” of our unfolding universe. It’s a precious moment that allows us to recognize our part in a vast evolving process.  My art, hopefully, reflects not only my appreciation of the formidable beauty embedded in nature but the magic of the commonplace. This magic is there for everyone to savour and is there waiting to be found whether in ornate frost patterns on window panes or the gorgeous seepage of colour in backlit autumn leaves.

My working career has been rooted in communication and education: from Head of Media Relations at the ROM, to documentarist for CBC Radio Ideas, to co-director of a summer camp (Toronto Nature Centre) introducing life and earth sciences at Branksome Hall and The Toronto French School, followed by twenty years of teaching in the Toronto Catholic District School Board.

The Exhibit “Just a Glimpse” includes a photographic component that highlights a few glimpses of the Far North and Pangnurtin, a small village on the shores of a magnificent fiord in southern Baffin Island. Certain of these photos are documentary in bias while others simply celebrate the distinctive landscapes of Nunavut.
Finally, abstraction finds its way into my art because its ambiguity seems like an authentic, comfortable mode of expression.

I sincerely hope you find the time to pop in and enjoy “Just a Glimpse”!
