The Galerie Old Chelsea is delighted to present "Forest Bathing" by the talented artist Erin Thibault. From June 29 to July 20, you have the opportunity to embark on a visual journey that captures the essence of nature's wonders and celebrates the majesty of trees and forests.

An Artist Inspired by Nature's Masterpieces

Erin Thibault's collection of impressionistic paintings is a testament to her profound love for the forest. Inspired by her daily walks in the woods, she delves into the tiniest details that often go unnoticed. From the subtle shades of rocks beneath glistening waters to the fluorescent moss adorning the trees, Thibault's keen eye captures the magic that thrives in every nook and cranny of the forest. And let's not forget the charming creatures she encounters along the way—a barred owl, a deer with her young, or even a mischievous marten. The forest is their home, and we are privileged to share in its beauty.

Nurturing Well-being through Nature

For Thibault, being in nature is more than just an inspiration—it's an essential part of our well-being. As she breathes in the forest's exhale, she feels a profound sense of peace and oneness. Through her art, she hopes to remind us of the significance of preserving these spaces, no matter how small they may be. The beauty of our local forests should be cherished by generations to come while ensuring that the wildlife we coexist with can continue to thrive in their natural habitats.

Thibault's abstract pieces are visual expressions of her deep connection to the forest and her conversations with the trees. In addition to her forest-themed works, she is renowned for her breathtaking paintings of vast skies. Her art has found its way into numerous Canadian and US collections, and she has even exhibited in the sunshine state of Florida.

Giving Back to the Environment

Erin Thibault's dedication to nature doesn't stop at her art. During this exhibition, she will be donating 5% of all her sales to Action Chelsea for Respect of the Environment (ACRE). By supporting her artwork, you are not only bringing beauty into your life but also contributing to the preservation and protection of our natural surroundings. It's a win-win!

A Glimpse into the Artist's World

Erin Thibault's artistic style is a masterful blend of acrylic and oil paints. As she describes it, she has always been in awe of her natural surroundings, finding wonder in every season and capturing the interplay of colours, shadows, and light. Her work is a testament to the ever-changing beauty that surrounds us, from snow-laden trees to blossoming landscapes. Each stroke on her canvas is an appreciation of the remarkable world we inhabit.

Thibault's artistic journey is a lifelong commitment. From her studio, she gazes upon black ravens gracefully soaring above giant oaks, their wings casting shadows against the snow, bare branches, and the violet sky. Every moment, every scene is an opportunity for her to create art that resonates with the soul.

Don't miss out on the chance to experience Erin Thibault's enchanting collection at Galerie Old Chelsea. From June 29 to July 20, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and let her art transport you to the heart of the forest.
