Join us for the opening reception of an exhibition by Rigaud painter Mona Turner<\/strong>, whose evocative paintings explore what it feels like to be within<\/em> the landscape\u2014not just observing it. Admission is free.<\/p>\n

Living in a rural setting and spending time listening closely to the natural world, Turner draws inspiration from the layered lives and energies that surround us: birds in motion, everyday objects displaced from their usual contexts, and moments that feel at once familiar and quietly mysterious. Her work invites us to slow down, to notice, and to reflect on how we inhabit our own environments.<\/p>\n

Through figurative painting that sometimes blends elements of still life and landscape, Turner creates scenes that hover between the recognizable and the implausible. This tension\u2014between illusion and surface, meaning and ambiguity\u2014opens space for personal interpretation and contemplation.<\/p>\n

Born in M\u00e9tis Beach, Qu\u00e9bec, Mona Turner studied graphic design at Dawson College and Studio Arts at Concordia University, where she earned a BFA with distinction (1995). She exhibits regularly in the Montreal and Ottawa regions and has been actively involved in the local arts community, including serving on the executive committees of Artistes Hudson Artists and the Hudson & Region Studio Tour. She is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists.<\/p>\n

All are welcome. Come meet the artist, enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the Hub, and experience a body of work that offers a quiet meditation on presence, perception, and the beauty of the ephemeral.<\/p>\n
