Scugog Arts presents: ‘Outside of the Lines’ an art exhibition by Monica Dear 

March 7th – March 29th , 2026 

268 Queen St, Port Perry, ON L9L 1B8 

In this collection of bold and expressive drawings, Monica Dear captures the spirit of her subjects through energetic, seemingly chaotic lines and scribbles. Working primarily with gel pen and coloured pencil, she has developed a distinctive visual language that balances structure and colour with a deliberate touch of disorder. The result is work that feels alive; gestural and intuitive, offering just enough information to invite the viewer in. 

All are welcome!

Scugog Arts presents: ‘Wild in Pieces: Collage Creatures of Land, Sea and Sky’ by Kate Greenway 

 April 4th  - April 26th, 2026 

268 Queen St, Port Perry, ON L9L 1B8 

Wild in Pieces: Collage Creatures of Land, Sea and Sky invites viewers into a vibrant world where animals and birds emerge from layers of texture, colour, and imagination. This mixed-media exhibition brings together creatures collaged from recycled magazine paper, birds formed with the fluidity of watercolour and the spontaneity of monoprint, and animals built from hand-painted and collaged tissue paper. Each piece celebrates the beauty and diversity of the natural world while showcasing the possibilities of reimagined materials. Through fragments and layers, Wild in Pieces transforms everyday papers into extraordinary portraits of life on land, sea, and in the sky. 

All are welcome!
