FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN HIS OWN WORDS.

Getting to Know Steven Snake / Episode 1

For the first time ever, Steven Snake sits down on camera to share his story and speak about himself, his life, and his journey as an artist.

Until now, we have known Steven through his paintings. This time, we have the rare opportunity to hear from the artist himself.

As we approach his first solo exhibition in almost 30 years, we invite you to discover the person behind the work.

NEW TO THE GALLERY, and this one is pure Northern Ontario.

True North Strong by Marianne Vander Dussen captures the power of an Ontario Northland train moving through a brilliant Northern autumn. A scene that feels instantly familiar to anyone who calls the North home.

Marianne’s remarkable use of light brings the locomotive forward against the warm fall colours, giving the painting a wonderful sense of movement, atmosphere, and presence.

Title: True North Strong
Artist: Marianne Vander Dussen
Size: 12"X12"
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Professionally framed in our Bloch Bauers Frame Studio
Price: $870.00

A striking celebration of the landscape, history, and spirit of Northern Ontario.

Now available at Bloch Bauers Gallery of Fine Art. Come see it in person.

What happens when an artist steps into the very landscape he paints?

For Steven Snake, the land is more than a subject, it is part of the process.

Surrounded by the quiet of the wilderness, Steven paints directly from the landscape, capturing not only what he sees, but the atmosphere, light and feeling of being there.

A rare glimpse into the artist at work, where inspiration and creation become one.

THE WOODLANDS WORK OF STEVEN SNAKE

An important part of Steven Snake: After 29 Years will be a selection of Steven’s distinctive Woodlands-style works.

Bold lines, vivid colour, animal forms and spiritual imagery reveal another side of Steven’s artistic journey—one deeply connected to storytelling, symbolism and the natural world.

These works will be presented alongside his landscapes and portraits, offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience the breadth of Steven Snake’s work together in one exhibition.

Meet the Newest Artist at Bloch Bauers Gallery of Fine Art.
There is something remarkable about the way Marianne Vander Dussen captures light. Her paintings can almost appear illuminated from within.

A North Bay-based Canadian realist painter, Marianne transforms florals, landscapes, and birds into luminous works filled with colour, atmosphere, and extraordinary detail.

With her paintings already held in private and corporate collections across Canada, we are incredibly pleased to welcome Marianne Vander Dussen to Bloch Bauers Gallery of Fine Art.

Discover her story, explore her work, and see why her paintings deserve to be experienced in person.
