Need a Family Photograph? New Studio Opens in Downtown Oakville
April 11th, 2008 Categories: Downtown Oakville, Oakville Events, Things to Do in Oakville
I was sorry to miss the grand opening party, but went by yesterday to see the new photo studio of my friend and neighbour Heather Hogan.
Nicely renovated and painted in fresh modern colours, with Heather’s beautiful photos of children and families adorning the walls, the studio reflects this Oakville photographer’s fresh, crisp approach to her craft.
Heather is a talented photographer and celebrating her sixth year in business by opening her new studio.
You can find her at 115A George Street above the UPS store, or at www.heatherhoganphotograhy.com.

10th Annual Art and Artisans by the Lake at Appleby College in Oakville - April 19-20, 2008
April 8th, 2008 Categories: Food for Soul and Spirit, Oakville Events, Oakville Real Estate News, Things to Do in Oakville, Why Move to Oakville?
Mark your calendars for an exciting Oakville art show Saturday April 19th and Sunday, April 20th.
This is the 10th Annual Art and Artisans by the Lake to be held on the beautiful 52–acre campus of Appleby College, located on the shores of Lake Ontario, 540 Lakeshore Road West. The exhibit will be held in the Arena, between 10 and 4 both days.
Sponsored by the May Court Club of Oakville, this annual event showcases original works of the highest quality from Canadian artists and artisans. Original paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and mixed media will be exhibited. All entries will be juried.
Funds raised will go to the Halton Emergency Shelter and the Halton Women’s Place.
One of the artists being profiled this year is Jacqueline Dravetz, of Burlington, Ontario. I visited Jacqueline and her husband Warner in their lovely home in Burlington which they are currently renovating.
Here is Jacqueline after a day of horse-back riding in her dining room with one of her paintings.
Having worked for many years as a registered nurse, Jacqueline discovered her talent with the brush six years ago. Since then she has devoted herself full-time to painting, exhibiting and doing portraits. She is currently enrolled in the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto where she is learning to perfect the old master tradition of realist painting and portraiture.
Jacqueline has a special gift for portraits of people and pets. To find out more about Jacqueline’s work visit www.jdart.ca.
Hope to see you at the art show!
