Warm up at the Rotunda Gallery in February (ground floor, Kitchener city hall)
On exhibition: Bodacious Bucolic Extracts by Amy Ferrari
Exhibit Opening: Thursday, February 9, 6:30–8:30pm

In this exhibit, Amy Ferrari celebrates the powerfully serene beauty found in landscapes and regional farmscapes. Contemporary life can seem so hectic that the energizing calm of the open countryside often goes under-appreciated or forgotten, says Ferrari.
“I am always bombarded by tons of visual interest. It's just that what I see as fascinating doesn't even register with most people,” she says. “I would like my work to encourage everyone to slow down and take another look, to see through a lens of imagination, fun and mystery, and to revel in all the wonderful details.”
Ferrari uses colour to magnify life on canvas. Colors across the spectrum, from limitless reflections of winter whites to lush summer greens, combine with expressive shapes, resulting in bold, harmonious and innovative works. 
 
“My vision is that vibrant, joyous potential thrives in everybody, everything, and every situation,” she says.
