ASSOCIATE MEMBERS
J. LYNN CAMPBELL
J. Lynn Campbell is a Toronto-based artist educated at the Ontario College of Art & Design, with independent studies in France, Open Studio Toronto, Humanities at the University of Toronto, and Philosophy at York University. Campbell’s practice extends from two-dimensional drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage to three-dimensional sculpture/constructions and site-specific installation. Her use of materials and methodologies emphasize the working process, recognizing material as tactile image and subject. Using symbolic references as a means to explore the intrinsic nature of being in relation to external environment, her constructions query the complexities of the human condition.
Campbell has exhibited in Toronto, Ontario regional galleries, Quebec, Nova Scotia, galleries in Italy and Germany, and has participated in several artist collectives. Her work is included in private, public and corporate collections.
TERI DONOVAN

She studied at The Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, the Ontario College of Art and Design, and Toronto School of Art. Her work has been exhibited in Toronto and southern Ontario including at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Latcham Art Centre, Art Gallery of Mississauga, Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brant, the Red Head Gallery, OCADU, the Rotunda Gallery, Kitchener/Waterloo, and the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

PHILIP HARE
Philip Hare is a multidisciplinary artist, working primarily with textiles. His work examines themes relating to sexuality, gender and power, often through a very personal lens. Hare’s preferred materials include felt and embroidery thread, as well as found objects that range from clothespins to tampons. His hand sewn assemblages are usually quite simple but often develop into large installations. Sometimes Hare himself becomes a part of the work.
Philip Hare grew up in a big family in rural Ontario (which may explain his proclivity for artist collectives). In 1979 he moved to Toronto and established an artistic practice there. He received a diploma in Graphic Design from Sheridan College A.A.T. and has studied at Ontario College of Art and Design and Open Studio. Hare has been a member of Gallery 1313, as well as Propeller Art Gallery from 2006 to 2016 and a member of Red Head Gallery from 2016 to 2018. He has been an Associate Member since then. He lives in Nova Scotia on the North Mountain, overlooking the Bay of Fundy, with his husband and dogs.
LYNN CHRISTINE KELLY
Multifaceted, Lynn Christine Kelly’s work involves painting, sculpture, and installation. Strongly connected to the natural environment and a product of her upbringing in the interior of British Columbia with a father in the forest industry, Kelly’s work is focused on nature, trees and forests in particular. She states that trees are living things, filled with the essence and energy of Mother Earth. She notes they are the basis of global ecosystems, providing us with clean air, supporting an untold number of species, caretaking the soils and water supplies, and providing sustenance, medicines, and shelter. They are her friends and confidants, her mentors and sounding boards. She finds them to be a strong support system, a haven, and ultimately a source of rejuvenation.
Kelly has an MFA from the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London, UK and a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design. She has received numerous grants from the Ontario Arts Council and has exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally. Her work is held in numerous Canadian corporate collections and private collections worldwide. Relocating to Alberta in 2020, Kelly currently lives and works in Calgary.

GABRIELLE DE MONTMOLLIN
Gabrielle de Montmollin began her career in television and film before switching her interest to still photography. For many years she worked exclusively with black and white film photographing throwaway plastic toys and dolls arranged in constructed, fantasy settings. She developed darkroom manipulations using extreme bleaching and painting and drawing on paper negatives.
“My art is based on imagination; I am interested in telling stories, play and mystery,” she writes in her artist statement. At times, in addition to her personal imaginings, she works to find visual expression for her feelings about social justice issues and politics, as she did in her series, “Stephen Harper Hates Me” exhibited at The Red Head Gallery in May 2013.
Gabrielle de Montmollin has exhibited in solo and group
exhibitions in Canada, the United States, Belgium, Italy, France
and The Netherlands. She lives in Welland, Ontario, with artist Tony Calzetta
who is the other half of their art collaboration known as ART IS HELL.
SALLY THURLOW
Sally Thurlow is a multi-disciplinary artist living by the shores of Lake Ontario in a wildlife sanctuary. Informed by engaging with different cultures, their environments and beyond, through media, travel and discussion, her practice is based in sculpture, installation, photography and painting. It invites the examination of how cultural and environmental issues impact our communities. Rambles on public lands render collections and reflections; distinctive forms sharpening awareness about the current work. Sculptural forms are fabricated, material selections chosen from a variety of substances, symbolic within the meanings of the forms.
KIM-LEE KHO
Kim-Lee Kho is a Canadian, Brampton-based multidisciplinary artist, (and longtime designer/art director), exploring personal experience as a gateway to broader human concerns.
The bi-ethnic daughter of a scientist and an artist, her process and interests combine all of those influences, in sometimes unexpected ways.
Kho has participated nationally in exhibitions, residencies, and mentorships; and won awards including grants from the Ontario Arts Council.
PEGGY TAYLOR REID
Peggy Taylor Reid is a photographer using both a traditional and an alternative lens. Her work encompasses constructed photographs, concepts, and the natural world in a decades-long investigation of objects as traces and shadows of our physical world. She weaves together an investigation of the ubiquity of post-consumer waste, sustainability, food insecurity and habits of consumption. With a focus on containers, as an extension of the body and our subjective experiences, Taylor Reid explores the life cycles of these objects, and invites viewers to consider their own relationships to them in our current culture of convenience and obsolescence.
