Larrie Woodcock

I first heard about the breathtaking landscapes of Killarney 35 years ago and have since made the Park my "must-get-there" destination now to further inspire and rejuvenate my soul. A graphic designer by trade and primarily a self taught artist, I tried my hand at many different mediums (selling my first pencil drawing at the age of 10). I've since dabbled with pencil crayons, markers then made the leap to the digital world learning computer rendering, all this in an effort to bring colour to my work. Then 8 years ago I was introduced to oil painting, finally the perfect outlet to capture this awesome scenery Killarney has to offer. Always looking for those dazzling nuances of light and shadow as they dance and play across this beautifully rugged landscape, the next painting is always waiting for me just around the corner!

Paul Smith


For many years pencil drawings were Paul`s main artistic outlet until about four years ago when he became interested in photography. Having no formal training in the arts or photography has allowed Paul`s natural talent to flourish while remaining fresh and uninfluenced.

Pierre Sabourin

Pierre has made his home in Killarney and landscape painting is his passion. He has travelled across Canada, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, which instilled a sense of National Pride in Canada’s beauty and diverse culture. He studied Fine Arts at the University of Ottawa and the University of Calgary.

Ofra Svorai


Graduated from Sheridan College School of Design with honours in 1977 and her career as a full time artist began as she exhibited at numerous art shows and galleries. Her paintings on silk and acrylics represent an appreciation for the beauty of nature around Georgian Bay and the Beaver Valley.

Ken Bennison

With the idea that photography is a creative art, not just a medium for communication of reality i am able to have control over all my images. My first love is to hike and canoe into wilderness locations to enjoy the pristine beauty of and peacefulness that can be found in our vast wilderness. While I am there I am able to capture many of the scenic views that I have in my expanding portfolio.

Danielle Gardner

As an art teacher and artist, I have painted scenes of Killarney, studying visual textures and incorporating them into a concentrated study of both en plein air works and in studio.  The works I have put into this show are from the last few years.  My focus has been to incorporate an iconic tree into window shaped paintings, so that the viewer can look upon the scene from their home on an extended half wall to a natural space.  Golden Acrylic on linen on hand built stretchers, the majority of the pieces are 7" x 4'.  The pieces can be framed out in the molding of the house or left with their black finished edge.  These windows onto landscape, look great hanging together or as stand alone pieces.
