Joan Bontje

Joan Bontje

Joan Bontje's one woman show at OPG is a bright and colourful experience.

In kindergarten Colouring books and "Top Cat" became my favorite form of art. I must stay within the lines!

As I went onto high school Art became my passion, nothing else mattered!

Years later my husband Brianand I  landed in the Village of Ayr where Children and adults visited my studio and discovered watercolour, acrylic and sketching. Every birthday and occasion was celebrated. As the Art Director for the Village of Ayr it was a great joy and challenge. As well, I was a member of the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Group and the Cambridge Art Centre. During which I participated in several watercolour courses and shows.

I now live at Ajax,have joined the Ajax Art Centre, PineRidge Art Council and the Oshawa Art Association and have continued to learn and study my craft.I do commissions and participate in shows where I exhibit and sell my work.

I currently experiment with liquid acrylics, pastels and lean towards more abstract forms. I no longer stay within the lines!
