Our Current Show: DREAMSCAPE

“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” Jeans-Jacques Rousseau.

Dreamscape is Headwaters Arts’ first of several themed member art shows to fill the walls of the Headwaters Arts Gallery in 2025. January’s show features 21 artists who have created works depicting their interpretation of dreams in a variety of mediums including: oil and acrylic paintings, photography, textiles, fibre, paper sculpture, acrylic and pen, clay and mixed media.

Angela Burdon‘s fascination with the freedom of the spirit is seen in the luminous beauty of her portraits. She explores her passion for nature and emotion with an adventurous mix of materials and mediums.

“Places we visit, that are etched in our memories can come to us in dreams. My pieces are always based on landscapes and city scapes that have affected me, stayed with me and follow me in my daydreams with the hopes of returning someday. My paintings start with colour, and then progress into scenes that intuitively are released through my energy while I work.” says painter, Iris Ranieri.

Participating member artists include: Angela Burdon, Claudio Arcuri, Daureen Murphy, Dave Moir, Deborah Powell, Domenic Tuze, Fabienne Good, Iris Ranieri, Jackie Warmelink, JoAna, Lynn Gilbank, Nancy MacNabb, Hildegarde Sausik, Mina Zare, Marnie Cooke, Natasha Lehman, Rosemary Hasner, Patty Maher, Sandamali Angunawela and Suzanne Walsh.

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather, and on which the Region of Peel operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular we acknowledge the territory of the Ani-shinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
