Nellie Matthews and Patricia Ningewance are among the 10 northern Ontario artists to be featured in an upcoming Ontario Crafts Council Gallery exhibition in Toronto.
The exhibit, From the North: Contemporary and Traditional Craft, is curated by Jean Marshall, a visual artist and band member of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug.
“(Matthews) has an older piece and a wall hanging set of three,” Marshall said. “She is also submitting a new work that is quite large – a big circular piece on leather with four sections creating a circle. I’m pretty excited about that one.”
