Amy Listmayer is in studio for the month of December. DECEMBER welcomes AMY LISTMAYER of TWIG & TOADSTOOL, Artist-in-Residence @ One Sky Amy Listmayer is inspired by the beauty of nature, science and biology. Her love of Northern Ontario nature has led to her miniature sculptures that are true to the species. Amy uses polymer clay, acrylic paints, and pastels in her work. Amy appreciates the fleeting nature of flora and fauna; she began creating miniature mushrooms to preserve their beauty in a more permanent way. Starting with plant or terrarium decorations, she was inspired to create jewelry out of her creations: earrings, pendants and hairpins. At first, there was some discouragement. She had a bit of trouble turning her vision into fruition, and wasn’t happy with the way her pieces were turning out. She was then gifted some tools, polymer clay and supplies, which afforded her the opportunity to hone her craft without a large investment in supplies. PROCESS Amy starts by researching the species, drawing it, and then gets an idea of how the subject looks in a 3-dimensional space. Sometimes, she uses white clay and paints the piece afterward, but more often uses coloured clay and a combination of pastel dust and pure pigment. She can dust it into the clay for a “watercoloury” look, or can mix water with acrylic paints if she wants a sheer look. The pieces are then baked in the oven at a low temperature, as this work does not require a kiln. More complicated pieces may require multiple bakings. Finally, the piece is glazed. Amy is also inspired by Japanese polymer clay artists, and loves the cuteness of miniature. QUESTIONS? CONTACT US! info@oneskygallery.com 705.222.1759

Visionary Jacqueline Villeneuve, founder of Olive & Annie will be in shop to discuss her initiative and offer her gorgeous and ethical line of jewelry and clothing. ABOUT OLIVE & ANNIE Behind every Olive & Annie product design is the story of a woman or child in Nairobi, Kenya. Following ethical practices, every piece of Olive & Annie jewelry is handcrafted in Ngong Hills by our lead artisan Sammy and his team. Sammy takes our designs and brings them to life - incorporating in some of his own creations with our unique twist. As a proud father of 3, husband, and community leader, Sammy was a natural fit to complete the Olive & Annie team.

With every Olive & Annie sale, 100% of profits directly support She Matters Tribe and ZLT Hope Homes. Meaningful Design, Supporting Women and Children through Every Purchase. ABOUT THE FOUNDER Jacqueline Villeneuve began volunteering in Kenya at the age of 15 in 2009. Having interest in African politics from a young age, Jacqueline was inspired to learn more about the beautiful cultures and history that existed in Kenya. Her first trip was all it took — she left Kenya with the desire to learn more, explore, and design. Jacqueline returned to Kenya at 16 years old and volunteered in a children’s home. Unfortunately, she was exposed early on to the corruption that existed within the orphan care community. This led to a burning passion for child protection, and the desire to work alongside Kenyan partners to provide children with the opportunity to experience quality education, safe shelter, and holistic care in a loving family environment. She began...

Smeet K. Gusani will be painting live at One Sky, and will be available to discuss his work, his process, and his inspiration. Another artist will be joining him, TBA. Come and meet Smeet and witness him creating in person! Smeet Kailash Gusani is best known for his bold portrait and scape paintings which are full to the brim with life and emotion. His medium of choice is acrylic paints, which he successively layers over a wood or cloth primed canvas. He is currently experimenting with resin and acrylic sheets in synergy with his acrylic painting skill. “My work has always been about trying to capture the essence of the selected subject“ he has said. “I love the raw and vivid movement that thick layered paint adds to the piece imbibing it with its own unique personality.” With its emphasis on bold colour, brushwork and a quick fast-paced technique coupled with the intent to convey a specific mood to the viewer, his work has been described as a kind of impressionist-expressionist painting. While painting since a very young age, he is recently devoting much more time to his art and is steadily climbing up the ladder of the current art world one painting at a time. ARSTIS STATEMENT Capturing the emotion and the soul of the subject is everything – the sole point of painting in my opinion. Imagining how beautiful even mundane things would look when transferred in paint onto a suitable canvas is the source of my inspiration and motivation. I try my best to convey the sense of beauty and wonder that I receive from the subject to all viewers of my art in hopes that they feel the same as I did while I laid down the paints. When one looks at my art, they absolutely...
