Art Gallery

Welcome to my art gallery. My name is Kim Eadie-Mace and I am a portrait and wildlife artist.

I was born and raised on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario and can thus be referred to as a Haweater. Like my mother, I started drawing with pencil before I was a teen, and soon added charcoal and watercolours. I had a wonderful art teacher in high school, Jacqueline Gordon, an artist in her own right, who was very nurturing and inspirational.

After a short stint at Vancouver School of Art in 1974/75, I headed back home to Manitoulin where I did many commissioned pencil and charcoal portraits. When I moved to Nobel and my husband started carving decoys, I decided it was time to learn to use acrylics. A bracket fungus known as an Artist's Conk soon became my favourite surface to paint on and many of these are now scattered around the province. We donated several decoys and pieces of art to the Parry Sound chapter of Ducks Unlimited where they were well received.

I now live in Parry Sound and have added pencil crayon and chalk pastels to my repertoire. I have several pieces waiting to be finished, I just need Jacqueline to tell me to "Git-r-done".

To the left is an animation showing the progression through one of my pencil drawings. It was auctioned at a gala hosted to raise money for the West Parry Sound Health Centre.
