Touching the Earth

A new collection of paintings by Jennifer Caie featuring the landscapes of Northwestern Ontario

June 14 – June 28, 2025

Presenting Jennifer Caie’s solo exhibition, ‘Touching the Earth,’ featuring scenes from Northwestern Ontario’s lush forests, where dense trees emerge from thick slabs of rock draped with dewey mosses and sheets of warm sun.

Caie’s daily hikes through the forest inspire her paintings, taking note of how the elements and changing seasons shape its features. Her work explores themes of movement, light, and connection. Using acrylics on canvas and panel, she sets light and dark tones together, creating tantalizing tension and lively brushstrokes, emulating the forest’s energy, its effervescent aromas, bold colours, and layered textures.

Born in Winnipeg, work carried Caie and her family across Northern Canada for many years, eventually landing her in Dryden, Ontario in 2016. A self-taught artist and professional painter, she is an Elected Member of Society of Canadian Artists (SCA) and Associate Member of Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA). Her work is held in private collections across Canada.

Please join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, June 14th between 1PM to 4PM. Caie will be in attendance and light refreshments will be served!
