Galleries & Studios

Ten years ago a few Grey County artists invited the public into our homes and studios to view our work and chat about our methods and materials. This year 20 studios with 34 guest artists will be open. Participating studios are selected by committee to ensure originality, quality, comfort, aesthetic appeal, accessibility and diversity.

Come browse my studio/workshop to see willow furniture, cedar arbors, hanging cradles, plant stands, herb-hat racks, tri-pod birdhouses, plus unusual baskets. I also weave rugs, knit my handspun wool, and recycle wool for rug hooking. Open by chance or appointment!

My favorite subjects are the beautiful towns, valleys, farms and vistas of the Ontario landscape.  Since my preferred subject is the land at a special moment, which lasts very briefly, I think my best paintings are created from plein air observation.  The primary goal of my work is for it to portray the mood of the land; the universality of the land rather than one specific place.

Because art is often thought of as the exclusive domain of the few, the Flesherton Art Gallery goes out of its way to make it accessible and affordable. The physical set-up is inviting, many of the artists featured are local, and David is always available to speak to about details surrounding any piece of work.

After operating galleries in both Toronto and Meaford, Ron de Boer moved to Owen Sound in 1993 and opened a gallery in the downtown core. The gallery first operated as Art International and over the years, Ron expanded both the gallery space and its services. It now covers over 4000 square feet. In 2001, the gallery was renamed Gallery de Boer – Fine Art.
