In Lambton County there are four talented artists who have been long time members of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC), having met the stringent criteria required to be elected into the Society by a national membership committee.

The gallery is pleased to present an exhibition that looks at the artistic practice of these four talented artists, Josy Britton from Grand Bend, Ariel Lyons from Petrolia, Jane Hunter and Marlis Saunders, both from Sarnia.

Each of the artists is a master watercolour painter, but they also explore other mediums within the scope of their artistic practice. Fluid Explorations will include works in watercolour but will also offer a rare glimpse into some of their other artistic journey's and will include paintings in encaustic, acrylic and mixed media.
