We are pleased to be featuring artwork from local artist, Rebecca Johnson.

“As a local floral designer, creativity has always been part of who I am. Whether I'm designing flowers, painting, needle felting, drawing, taking photographs, playing music, or creating greeting cards, I love making art that brings joy to myself and others. Under my artist name, Banana Roo, I create artwork and greeting cards that can be found in several locations around Belleville. My greeting cards help support "Fixed Fur Life", with a portion of every sale donated to help cats in need."
Rebecca Johnson

A selection of Rebecca's artwork and cards are available to purchase at the Parrott Gallery.

Corridor Gallery ~ Selection of Prints from Our Gallery 39 Collection

From the early 80’s until 2013, the Parrott Gallery hosted an annual show of prints from the students of The Ontario College of Art and Design. These OCAD students created editions of small format work and would sell each piece for $39.00, hence the name “Gallery 39”. Over the years, we have collected many pieces by the printmaking students and teachers for our collection. The techniques range from silkscreen, etching and lithography to monoprint, aquatint and intaglio.

Honourable Mention
“Summer Cicada Serenade" Dale Christine Ballard

"The strength of this painting lies in its masterful exploration of texture, showcasing the unique qualities that can be achieved with the cold wax medium. The artist has created a well-balanced composition, with a clear relationship between the foreground, middle ground, and background, guiding the viewer naturally through the landscape. The richly textured, expressive brushwork imparts a sense of spontaneity and vitality while remaining thoughtfully controlled."

“Pasture Eyes,” acrylic, by Elizabeth Bembich

"Although modest in scale, this small painting possesses a remarkable sense of presence and power. The artist embraces a brutalist approach through the bold use of texture, making the material quality of the surface one of the work's greatest achievements. The rugged, expressive treatment creates a strong visual impact, yet it is the animal's gaze that truly commands the viewer's attention. The eyes create an intriguing sense of connection, seeming to follow the viewer's movement from side to side. This captivating interaction between texture and expression is this painting’s greatest asset."

Honourable Mention
“Loyal Tea” by Jennifer Delaney

"There is a quiet reverence created around the ritual of tea drinking in this piece. The artist transforms this simple, everyday moment into one of contemplation and connection, capturing the sense of pause and mindfulness associated with the tradition. The carefully observed reflections add a beautiful layer of complexity, enhancing the sense of light and atmosphere within the composition. The abstracted background provides a subtle yet effective setting for the still life, allowing the objects to emerge with clarity while creating a harmonious balance between realism and mood."
