Annie Churchill
Annie Churchill is a local visual artist painting the surrounding natural beauty of the Georgian Bay Area. She is calling Collingwood home after a 25 year career in the decorative arts and as a scenic artist on movie sets in Toronto.
Annie predominantly paints landscapes inspired by her daily biking and hiking excursions.
Preferring acrylic paint for its quick drying time, layering and textural ability and most of all for its vibrant colours. Finding it the perfect medium for capturing the bold beautiful landscape of the Niagara Escarpment and Georgian Bay.

ARTIST STATEMENT
“Creating is an extension of my core and the canvas is my playground. Nature captures my attention and loads my palette with the desire to share a story on canvas. Painting is an expressive indulgence providing the opportunity to explore an intimate conversation with my inner voice. Each brushstroke celebrates expressive movement bringing a touch of nature indoors.”

Guest Artist Schedule
About The Guest Artist Program
The Guest Artist program at the Owen Sound Artists’ Co-operative is a great way participate with our group. Monthly, we host three artists in a dedicated spot in our gallery. This program is extremely popular and we have long waiting lists! We are hoping to accept more guests monthly in the future. When we are looking for new members, we often look at the list of past guest members.
How To Apply
Our Legacy Gallery Committee juries work submitted monthly, and if the work seems to be a good fit with our establishment, a month is determined with the input of our membership member. We ask potential guests to fill out a guest artist’s application. Please plan to bring work in for jurying two to three days before the monthly committee meeting and arrange to pick up the next day. (Contact the store manager for details on the monthly date).
A good representation of your work must be submitted and appear as it would for sale and display in the store, i.e. all paintings, drawings must be titled, framed and/or glazed and ready for hanging. All work must be intended for sale. No more than 6 items please. Any relevant information regarding working methods, materials and pricing should accompany your work along with a brief artist’s biography or resume. When choosing you pieces, think of a body of cohesive work, rather than all the different styles or disciplines you practice.
