Art show brings Northwest Passage to the Centre of the Universe

This is GRISE FJORD,
one of the paintings that will turn up in MOUNTAINS AND ICEBERGS, Sheena’s forthcoming solo exhibition at Art Square Gallery in Toronto. Sheena did a lot of new works this year, drawing on voyages in the Northwest Passage with 
Adventure
Canada
. Situated on Ellesmere Island, Grise Fjord (home to about 130 people) is the northernmost civilian settlement in Canada. It has an average yearly temperature of −16.5 °C, which makes it one of the coldest inhabited places in the world.

Art Square is in the Centre of the Universe (ahem) at 334 Dundas Street West, directly opposite the
Art Gallery of Ontario. Sheena has 19 new paintings in the show, including seven that, like this one, measure 48″ by 48″ (four feet square). The show runs Nov. 14 to 28, with a grand opening on
Thursday, Nov. 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. Circle that and come on down!
