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!

Thanks for introducing me to Jacqueline; I visited her website from your link and was quite impressed.
Hi Bob,
Thanks for commenting! Jacqueline has a great sense of colour. Also like her portraits, hope you can come by the art show if you are in Halto area.
