A new exhibition entitled Portals at the Minto Arts Gallery will feature mixed media sculptures by Ontario artist Dana Jaunzemis, from May 7 to June 29.
Her mixed media sculptures use an array of materials: steel, ceramics, wire, living wheat grass, found natural objects, quartz crystal and, in one of her works, even a complete moose spinal chord.
Her technique also varies and includes welding, bronze casting, woodworking, ceramics and much more.
Jaunzemis’ work won Best in Show in 2010 at the People’s Choice Award for Untapped Emerging Artists Competition in Toronto.
An artist reception is planned for May 9 from 7 to 9pm. For more information on Jaunzemis, visit www.danathebird.com.
The Minto Arts Gallery is located on the top floor of the Harriston Public Library, at 88 Mill Street.
