Mieke van Geest, OKWA member, is participating in "Spirit of the Land " exhibit in Brockville.
Canadian artist Emily Carr wrote, " if spirit does not breathe through it is lifeless, dead, and voiceless the spirit must be felt so intensely that it has the power to call others in passing."

With this quote in mind, jurors for this year's fourth Annual Juried show chose the works of 42 artists who best represented this theme. The exhibition will be on view at the Marianne van Silfhout Gallery on the Brockville campus of St. Lawrence College from July 28 until September 8, 2011.
Visitors will experience the presence of the life and energy of our land through the varied interpretations of each artist. From paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour to photography, sculpture, mixed media, serigraph prints and jewelry. All these works are of exceptional quality using both traditional materials and forms to contemporary approaches of material use. Occasionally some of the artworks involve abstract imagery. Each of these pieces carries with them their own uniqueness and originality which is part of the true creative spirit.
