Simone Englefield
Sim's Art Studio ~ Acrylic Paintings
1425 Hwy 8, Cambridge (parking and entrance behind garage)
Simone is inspired by the wild, beautiful and yet familiar landscapes of northern Ontario. She finds her inspiration in God's creation, and it is her goal to capture the everyday beauty and mood of different landscapes. Simone uses layered cubes of color to transform photos into feelings on canvas. She explores the simple as beautiful in her paintings, and it is her intention to encourage the viewer to reflect on this also. @simsartstudio

Sandra Henry
Acrylic Paintings
1425 Hwy 8, Cambridge (parking and entrance behind garage)
I moved to Ontario from BC to study Fine Art and Art History at McMaster University. I enjoy working with abstraction of the forms, exaggerating colour, movement, experimenting with different subject matter - but it seems I always come back to landscapes, interiors, florals and wildlife in motion. I camp in northern Ontario often, hiking and canoeing and taking photos that often become inspiration for my paintings. @sandralewishenryartist

Bill Schwarz
Oil, Acrylic and Mixed Media Paintings
11 Thorne Street, Cambridge
When I paint, I paint with three “I’s” ... inspiration, interpretation and imagination. My travels provide inspiration, which I capture in my sketch books (85 of them) and then repurpose using my imagination, back in my hotel room or studio with acrylic, oils or watercolour. I never paint what I see; only what I feel. Having said this my inspiration comes primarily from the urban landscape. This means architecture of all sorts; buildings and boats to vehicles or machinery. @billschwarzartist

Her work invites reflection, using ambiguity and movement to evoke the complexity of human experience. Jessica studied at Ontario College of Art and Design, as well as L’École des Beaux Arts de St. Etienne, in France. She lives and works in Cambridge, Ontario with her husband Stephen, and their two very active boys. @jessica_penney_art

Tia Long
Studio by Tia ~ Painting
708 Duke St. Cambridge (rear entrance-parking on Westminster)
Tia Long is a Cambridge-based painter whose work explores the beauty and intimacy found in ordinary moments. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, she uses dramatic light, softened edges, and closely cropped compositions to transform familiar scenes into quiet studies of memory, connection, and presence.

Her work has been featured in juried exhibitions and galleries throughout Ontario. @studiobytia.co
