‘Landworks-Walk and Make ’is an environmental workshop that you are invited to participate in where tides are most extreme-The Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada at Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre. We will be walking and responding to breathtaking tide and shorelines by making ephemeral land art. Plein air painters, sketchers and photographers will also find this to be a great experience in direct dialogue with the natural world. We will look at the work of Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Long and other environmental artists. Seaweed, driftwood, shells and litter are some elements at hand that can be arranged into transient works of art. The walks and landworks will be documentd via video.to register, please contact: info@sunburyshores.org
Introducing a specialized workshop infusing cold wax medium into representational as well as abstracted landscape painting. We’ll explore alternative tools, mark making, dry pigments, colour mixing/ viscosity, direct /indirect painting and more to give voice to your visual imagery.

Hi All,
I hope that you have had a lovely summer, despite the oppressive heat and humidity. June and July for me was wonderful with a residency in the Shetland Islands ( lighthouse living on top of a cliff no less!) then on to Fair Isle, a remote island renowned for it’s knitting and migratory birds. I also moved house/studio and am happy to now be living and making art on the Beamsville Bench, surrounded by vineyards, sky and ..hawks!

new work: Niagara & Shetland
I’m finally feeling connected between the parallel worlds of Niagara and Shetland, falling into a rhythm of making work in response to the different lands. The searching is constant, thank goodness. Work intersects but will not be as one and I like that. The ‘making’ process has now opened up an overlapping dialogue in the physicality of application - the tools I use for the Shetland seas are being applied to the escarpment trees. There are few trees in Shetland- Niagara has no seas…
I will be going back to Shetland for a June residency, this time in a lighthouse perched way up on a cliff—I’m excited!
Upcoming classes
I've met and worked with inspiring and talented class participants this winter and am thankful as it is the students that stimulate my creative energy -I hope I've enhanced thier own artistic voice .
Just posted are Spring workshops in oil, encaustic, cold wax and open studio classes. I'm in the midst of scheduling plein air and direct-encounter making workshop dates, so please stay tuned!
In the meantime you can keep up with current happenings by following me here on facebook or connect with me via email at janyatesart@gmail.com
One more thing....
If you are an artist or art lover , and you like dogs, I am looking for someone to spend time with mine a few hours a day while I am away this summer.
I'm happy to trade art classes, the use of my studio, original art or combine all three and commitment does not have to be for the whole month.
Studio is located on the Grimsby escarpment, a 5 minute drive from the highway. Serious inquiries only. Please email janyatesart@gmail.com.
