About
Perth Picture Framing
|
Perth
Picture Framing was established in 1997 and owner Veronica Airth
previously managed a picture framing business and gallery in Toronto.
Veronica prefers to do business in Perth where creative people abound.
Perth
Picture Framing and Gallery Perth both operate from an updated old
home on 16 Wilson Street West in Perth .

"I
think the reason you find a large number of artists in this rural
area is because innovation and creativity are a necessity to earn
a living here." Veronica believes that living outside an urban centre
challenges us to be resourceful. In that sense, the picture framing
business has been successful and after ten years she opened Gallery
Perth. We sell original works of local and regional artists whose
work is Canadian in style and a bit avant-garde."

Gallery Perth:
The addition of an art gallery fulfills a long held dream for Veronica.
"We are showing Canadiana and the work of local artists in various
media. It has long been my desire to sell and promote the work of
creative people and it seems to come naturally to me. I am honoured
to represent many of our local talented artists and hope to earn
their respect as a Gallery owner,"
Not
only has Veronica fulfilled her own dream, but she is also providing
a venue for artists to show their work, and for visitors to Gallery
Perth to view and purchase the work of creative and resourceful
people who live locally.

Featured Artists:
Larry Bracegirdle's oil paintings are bathed in a warm, inviting
Light: an intriguing use of paint and colour that is reminiscent
of the surrealist, Salvador Dali and the realist, Johannes Vermeer.
Both artists have influenced the Bracegirdle style which is apparent
in his delightful interiors. His "Modern-Old-Master" approach has
become Larry's signature which he has developed over 30 years, and
to which he owes his success. Several Canadian galleries own Larry's
work, along with many private collectors throughout Canada and the
world. A former Perthite, Larry now lives in Victoria B.C. painting
everyday scene with candid reverence. Heritage home interiors continue
to be favourites subjects.

John
Mlacak is a passionate outdoor oil painter. His work captures
both the bold and subtle colours of the Canadian seasons and the
vibrant red and green roofs of Quebec farm buildings like this wonderful
rendering of a sugar bush in the making of maple syrup.

Gordon
Harrison finds inspiration and colour in the landscape that
surrounds him and in locales important to his life, such as the
Ottawa Valley, the Gatineau Mountains and the Laurentians. He has
also found inspiration in the landscapes of Newfoundland, Prince
Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, the Charlevois region,
Georgian Bay and the Lake Superior's Algoma region and the Prairies.
He uses these inspirations as his subject matter, recreating them
through his own vision.

Picture Framing recently completed an innovative framing project for the
White House Annex, a part of the new Code's Mill Inn and Spa on the Tay
River in Perth . Another favourite project was for the Upper Canada District
School Board where over 100 children's paintings and drawings were framed,
some of which now hang at the Board offices in Brockville .
