Kelcy Timmons Chan: Sunset Charcuterie
.jpg "Kelcy Timmons Chan 2")
As the Town of Acton is surrounded by several parks, Kelcy Timmons Chan felt it was fitting to do a piece dedicated to a cozy, relaxing picnic. The presence of the little purple people that are often featured in their work represent community and teamwork. This piece is meant to remind people to slow down and take in each day, and is a bright reminder through the winter that warmth will come again.
Robert John Paterson: Credit Where Due
http://www.robertjohnpaterson.com/
Robert John Paterson is an illustrator, designer, and print maker. His process involves sketching nature and cityscapes, then altering the drawings to produce minimalist, almost abstract forms. He takes relatively simple elements and shapes, then arranges them in complex ways to draw the viewer in as they notice more details.
This piece is inspired by his memories of summers playing and exploring the ravines surrounding Halton Hills.
Joanne Feely DeGraaf: Wild Water's Edge
https://joannedegraaf.com/
Joanne Feely DeGraaf is an artist and visual arts educator. She is inspired by the trails, conservation areas and proximity to the Credit River that Halton Hills residents enjoy. These spaces provide spectacular experiences for its human population but also contribute essential habitat for native wetland flora, fauna and migratory species. Each side of the Bell Box features flora and fauna that thrive in the local wetlands. This artwork is about the joy of interacting with nature and celebrates the treasured, beautiful ecosystems in Halton Hills.
Kelcy Timmons Chan: Snow Day
_286x408.jpg "Kelcy Timmons Chan")
https://kelcytimmonschan.com/
Kelcy Timmons Chan's artwork is inspired by all of the activities that one can do during the winter season. Winter in Ontario can be hard for some and Kelcy wanted to remind people of the brightness that can come from those snowy days. Although the piece takes place outside and features many wonderful outdoor activities like sledding and ice skating, the artwork has captured a variety of activities that can be done indoors, like snowflake crafting and hot cocoa drinking.
Robert John Paterson: Wolf Pond
_302x320.jpg "Robert John Paterson")
http://www.robertjohnpaterson.com/
Robert John Paterson’s work is associated with and inspired by nature. He is an illustrator, designer, and print maker. Inspired by his summers down by Wolf Pond, interacting with turtles and the rare but very present owls, this artwork celebrates these creatures and natural elements and how they are living amongst each other. The street facing sides of each box interact with each other, and the design of each box seamlessly wraps around for a pleasing composition when viewed at any angle.
