Gloria Savoie

I am a founding member and former Secretary of Miramichi Art Core, working in a variety of mediums, including pencil sketching, painting, and digital art, children’s book illustration, poster and set design, commissioned work, portraiture, photography, sign making, fashion design, writing, and wood etching being a favorite, as it seems so fitting since the wood industry involving the early historic timber and tall ships, helped to develop the Miramichi River Townships.
My artistic work is very much influenced by my interest in the diverse cultures of the world, especially the indigenous peoples, whose cultural traditions are so artistically rich, and their wealth of experience and regard for the environment, as stewards of mother earth, can teach.
Je suis membre fondateur et ancien secrétaire de Miramichi Art Core, travaillant dans une variété de médiums, y compris le dessin au crayon, la peinture et l'art numérique, l'illustration de livres pour enfants, la conception d'affiches et de décors, le travail sur commande, le portrait, la photographie, la fabrication d'enseignes, la mode la conception, l'écriture et la gravure sur bois étant un favori, comme cela semble si approprié puisque l'industrie du bois impliquant les premiers bois historiques et les grands voiliers, a aidé à développer les cantons de la rivière ...

Linda Gallant

Miramichi Art Core Member. Linda Gallant studied fine arts in Montreal and graduated from Concordia University seven years later with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (bfa). She spent thirty-seven years as an educator in the public system, eighteen years in Montreal and nineteen years on the Miramichi.
Linda uses traditional methods of art production, she works mostly in acrylics and much of her artwork is produced outdoors on-site. Working in plein-air suits her temperament because she is out-going and approachable. In inclement weather she will gravitate towards places and events that attract people, she will often sketch in restaurants or malls and will work the sketches into paintings back at her studio. She loves working outdoors and enjoys being with people, if you see her working say hello, she likes sharing her love of art with others.
