Maclaren House Art Gallery

The Maclaren House Art Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of it's most recent exhibition: RETURN to REAL

An Art Exhibit with a Reality Check

After the world re-emerges from the grips of a global pandemic, a new reality begins to form in each individual: new truths are discovered and new priorities are chosen.  How do we spend our limited and precious commodities now? Our time? Our money? Our jobs?

Who and what we choose to love and not love anymore are new and defining characteristics of us all.  

Who you are today is not who you were in 2020 and Return to Real is a collective expression of seeing your own world through a new filter of this new reality. 

About the Artist

Christina Lovisa, a native to Canada’s Capital city, Ottawa, is a self-taught, soulful, contemporary, mixed media artist. Having responded to a calling to paint and make the world a more "beautiful" place, her channelled art journey began in 2007.

Working in a broad range of mediums, from encaustic (beeswax) to acrylic paints and ‘found object assemblage’, Christina produces a varied range of artworks that emerge from a place of deep connection to her Divine-self.

Christina's paintings have been in shows and galleries in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and New York City. She has an international clientele, which includes Cirque du Soleil and the Micheal Jackson estate. Private galleries in North America represent both her original works and art prints, taking them to clients around the globe. Ms. Lovisa has learned to share her process and is recognized as a master mixed media art-instructor.
