Gallery in the Garden: In The City
City Life as seen by Adrian Greene, Ian Maynard and Neil Whitworth until September 8

Sherway Gardens’ (Hwy 427 & the QEW) current Gallery in the Garden exhibit entitled In The City features paintings and drawings of city life by Adrian Greene, Ian Maynard and Neil Whitworth.  The exhibit is on display until Saturday, September 8 in the corridor at door 3.

Adrian Greene is a British born artist living in Mississauga. He studied fine art in London, England, and attended the Heatherley School of Art, and the Royal College of Art. Adrian is a member of Neilson Park Creative Centre, the Etobicoke Art Group, Lakeshore Arts, and the Toronto Watercolour Society. He has exhibited his work in numerous juried and non-juried shows, winning several awards. Adrian’s paintings are in private collections in Canada, England, and Israel.

As far back as Public School and High School, Ian Maynard exhibited art in a variety of media at county fairs in Kent County. He graduated as an interior designer from OCA in 1965 and spent most of his career with the Ontario Government at Queen's Park in Toronto. It wasn't until retirement that Ian was able to find time to return to the art field and his former interests of watercolour and pen and ink drawing. About the same time as he discovered Neilson Park Creative Centre in 2007, Ian moved into wide format drawing, working in ink on 140lb rough watercolour paper with the occasional use of watercolour as an accent. Each drawing is exciting as hidden shapes appear on the page and are implemented into the final creation.

Etobicoke artist Neil Whitworth was born in Montreal and as soon as he was able to hold a pencil, he had an interest in art. He studied at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art and other private art schools in the Montreal area. Now, after 40 years in retail advertising for Eaton’s, Holt Renfrew, Simpsons and the Bay, he has time to paint his favorite subject, the varied Canadian landscape. Neil’s paintings are found in private collections in Canada, USA and Great Britain and in corporate collections including Honeywell and Inco. Neil is a member of The Etobicoke Art Group, Neilson Park Creative Centre and an elected member since 1998 of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour (CSPWC).
