Many contemporary painters are working with an expansive vocabulary of paint, using (and pushing) the properties of the paint and its application in unexpected ways and combinations. Their paintings offer us rich and surprising tactile experiences, a vivid sense of the artist’s hand, as well as fascinating optical effects. Kim-Lee Kho will share numerous gorgeous examples from artists working today – many of them Canadian! – focusing in on their materiality and painterly language. An actively exhibiting multidisciplinary artist, instructor, speaker and consultant with a previous life in design, Kim-Lee Kho teaches regularly at HSAD, Neilson Park Creative Centre, and Visual Arts Mississauga. This presentation relates closely to her own approach to painting and she has taught numerous popular courses and workshops on related topics. Contact: 1.866.353.6464 ext. 3  /  705.457.1680 askus@hsad.ca

Heraldic art began in the early Middle Ages, but it hasn’t stayed there. It is thriving in Ottawa, where there is an office of the Governor General called the Heraldic Authority which grants Coats of Arms, Flags, Badges, and medals to individuals and organizations from Governors General, to canola farmers, to cities, and more. The Authority and other government departments hire artists to create documents through painting and calligraphy. Judy worked for almost 20 years painting, decorating, illuminating, gilding, and calligraphing such documents on fine paper and calfskin.  She still teaches the skills involved; skills which will serve a modern artist well. Many interesting anecdotes have come out of those 20 years as a government scribe. Contact: 1.866.353.6464 ext. 3  /  705.457.1680 askus@hsad.ca
