October Visiting Artists
George Wilson and Sharron Rogers
George Wilson — Folk Art Full of Heart
Exeter artist George Wilson captures the warmth and charm of everyday life through his acrylic folk art paintings. His detailed works celebrate both Canada’s East Coast—colourful fishing villages, wharves, and lobster traps—and the simple beauty of rural Ontario.
Birds, flowers, and farmhouses appear in bright, cheerful tones that radiate welcome and nostalgia. George’s approachable style connects easily with viewers, offering scenes that spark memory, joy, and a love for familiar landscapes.
Sharron Rogers — Whimsical Worlds in Mixed Media
Exeter artist Sharron Rogers brings her lively imagination to the Goderich Co-op Gallery this October. With degrees in Art History and Printmaking, Sharron has explored a wide range of media, including woodblock and silk printing, acrylics, watercolours, and small assemblages.
Her current work, which she describes as whimsical, fantastical expressionism, layers texture, symbolism, and even digital or AI elements. The result is playful, thoughtful, and deeply personal—inviting viewers to step into dreamlike worlds shaped by a lifetime of curiosity and experimentation.
