Construction Goes On and the Show Goes On!
The Maureen Sheridan spotlight feature will be held over for the entire month of June. Do drop in on Friday or Saturday from 12 - 5 p.m to see this show. Please park in the municipal parking lot or on a side street as the lot is temporarily unavailable. We continue with reduced hours at the gallery (open only Friday and Saturday) in June.
The road construction on Wilson St. STILL is situated directly in front of the gallery - which means our wonderful parking lot in back is not accessible to any vehicles due to the gaping deep hole in the ground where the driveway meets the street (for the last 3 weeks and who know how much longer?)
Nice to see our Ottawa and Perth area visitors!

Artist Spotlight : Paintings by Maureen Sheridan
We are pleased to welcome Maureen Sheridan to Tay River Gallery this month. Maureen Sheridan is a Kingston area artist who paints in a realistic style conveying subjective impressions of a particular, usually very ordinary event or moment in time that has personal meaning for the artist, yet resonates with the viewer. The colour palette in these paintings is sometimes subdued, the handling of light adept, subject matter and composition are arresting and memorable. The paintings are created on large sized canvases that easily envelop the viewer with their intrigue and quiet presence.
Sheridan graduated from Queen's University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and has been exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions since 1989. Her work has won various awards, including a "Best Painting in Show" award at Toronto's Outdoor Art Exhibition. Her works can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe. See the artist page for Maureen on our website for images of her work and biography.
Visit the gallery this month to see recent paintings by Maureen Sheridan, our featured artist in May at Tay River Gallery in Perth. Tay River Gallery is open Friday 12 - 5 and Saturday 12 - 5 p.m during major road construction on Wilson St.
