SUMMARY:Shaelynn Tredenick The Weight of Quiet: Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Shaelynn Tredenick\nThe Weight of Quiet \nFebruary 5 – 24\nVernissage: Thursday\, February 5\, 5:00 – 8:00pm \nTredenick Artist Statement The Weight of Quiet: An exploration of stillness\, tension\, and emotional restraint.\nI feel compelled to scan – drawn to preserving fleeting moments before they disappear. My work does not begin with a fixed narrative\, but with an instinct to reimagine familiar florals into contemporary compositions guided by emotion and sensation rather than story.\nWorking with both living bouquets and preserved botanicals\, I’m interested in moments of transition—when vibrancy softens\, structure loosens\, and beauty exists briefly between states. Recently\, my practice has shifted toward embracing this tension more fully\, allowing compositions to hold both calm and intensity at once\, where restraint and release exist in quiet balance. \nRather than offering a prescribed meaning\, my work creates space for reflection and emotional stillness under the surface. Built through feeling first\, each piece invites viewers to sit with instability\, softness\, and their own interpretations. \nTredenick Biography \nShaelynn Tredenick is a photo-based artist based in Ottawa\, Canada\, holding a Graduate Diploma in Photographic Arts + Production from the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa and a formal degree in Photography from Algonquin College. A decade of competitive dance informs her work\, bringing a sense of movement\, rhythm\, and choreography into her visual practice. \nHer current practice centers on scanography of both preserved and living botanicals\, drawing inspiration from 17th-century Dutch floral paintings while engaging with contemporary digital processes and everyday arrangements. Through careful composition\, hand techniques\, and digital manipulation\, she reimagines historic floral motifs with a modern sensibility\, creating forms that exist between nature\, memory\, and transformation.

SUMMARY:“It’s the kids’ turn to shine” - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Old Chelsea is pleased to present the artworks by the art students from Symmes School and D’Arcy McGee High School in Aylmer. About ten years ago\, Galerie Old Chelsea approached a local Chelsea school to invite them to work on art during the year\, culminating with an exhibit at the Galerie.  Both the kids and the teacher were very enthusiastic\, and we’ve been giving the opportunity to other schools ever since. \nThis year\, we are delighted to showcase the art by Symmes Junior (Grades 7–8) and D’Arcy McGee High School (Grade 9) in Aylmer\, Quebec. Their teacher\,  Heawon Chun\, tells us that the works span a variety of materials and processes\, including drawing\, mixed media\, collage\, painting and needle felting. Students were guided to work creatively while learning techniques that help them build confidence and skill with each medium. \nThe works on display celebrate their commitment\, imagination\, and hard work. Please join us in congratulating these young artists on their beautiful accomplishments.

SUMMARY:Florence Victor Fairy Tales and Other Stories - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Everyone’s life is worth telling. We all have a story whose chapters address various subjects: fears\, doubts\, moral dilemmas\, obstacles\, but also encounters\, friendship and love. In fairy tales\, the perilous forest journey allows the main character to mature\, enriched by trials and life lessons\, and by the friendships forged along the way (see B. Bettelheim\, The Use of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales\, 1976). In my personal narrative\, the cities of New York and Berlin become\, in turn\, this forest\, a place of passage and learning. \nThis is the premise of this exhibition.

SUMMARY:Where Water Meets Land - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Mary Gourlay’s work emerges from an emotional and physical immersion in the natural world\, responding to the power\, fragility\, and temporality of landscape. Exploring remote environments by canoe\, kayak\, and on foot\, Gourlay creates sketches\, small paintings\, and photographs that capture fleeting moments of encounter. These fragmentary records form the basis for larger studio works that distill her lived experience of nature into richly expressive paintings. Since settling in Canada in 1992\, her work has been shaped by the landscapes of the Canadian Shield\, the south shore of the St. Lawrence near Rimouski\, and the Pacific coastline of Vancouver Island.

SUMMARY:Rise: Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Sinclair A. Maloney presents: Rise – a focused selection of landscape and seascape paintings. With a professional background in photography spanning 15 years\, his work is informed by a strong sense of composition and a keen observational eye.\nInfluenced by 19th-century painters such as Corot and Courbet\, and often compared to Turner for his atmospheric sensibility\, Maloney’s paintings balance precision and mood\, offering carefully observed scenes infused with subtle light\, depth\, and movement.

SUMMARY:Rostros - Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Vernissage: Saturday\, February 28\, 2 to 4 pm \nFor International Women’s Day\, Galerie Old Chelsea is proud to present a photographic and documentary exhibition by Taimi Tovar. This initiative celebrates the presence of women in the arts\, whether they are painters\, musicians\, architects\, researchers\, or cultural builders. \nBorn out of a shared desire to highlight the female creators who shape our cultural landscape\, this exhibition is much more than a series of portraits. It is an intimate encounter with fourteen committed female artists from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for creation and expression. Through their perspectives\, their stories\, and their varied disciplines\, these artists embody resilience\, audacity\, and feminine creative power. \nThis exhibition goes beyond simply taking portraits. It is also a series of interviews highlighting women artists from the Outaouais region. Through a series of portraits\, Tovar explored the strength and growth of these exceptional women artists\, each contributing in a unique way to the cultural richness of our community. It is a project that highlights women who embody inspiration through their role as artists.
