ABOUT JULIE DOUGLAS

Douglas is a photo-based artist in Peterborough who completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2014. Having attended high school at PCVS as part of the celebrated Integrated Arts Program, she was introduced to the darkroom and fell in love with the process. Despite the rise of digital, Douglas still primarily shoots film.

ABOUT BRIANNA GOSSELIN

Gosselin is an artist with the unique ability to paint the world as few of us see it. Densely layered, her work captures the spirit and light of nature, radiating back to viewers with an energy felt more than seen. Also a graduate of PCVS—celebrated for its art programs—Brianna continues to expand beyond her preferred medium of acrylics, drawing a harmonious balance between texture, form and colour. In addition to her own work, Brianna passes on her love of art as an instructor at her studio and at the Art School of Peterborough.
