Mine is a graphic take on life. Through the relative chaos, I find the design in nature and organize it on canvas.   Using line and simplifying what I see, I look for interesting shapes and colours, and explore the spaces in between.  Rhythm is found, and exaggerated. With an upbeat palette and a bit of whimsy for good measure, I capture Southern Ontario landscapes and architecture in acrylic paint on canvas.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to see black and white photographs crafted in a traditional wet darkroom. Cory works exclusively now with large format cameras and sheet film. You may even have seen her out photographing, working under her darkcloth to capture local scenes.

At the studio, you will see a selection of her contact prints crafted in platinum/palladium or silver on imported papers. Each work of art is unique due to small variations in the process. Cory uses film, now considered an alternative process, partly because of the magic she witnesses during the transformation of film to print.
