Graham Bennett, Lerners LLP (Kitchener)
The walls of Lerners’ Waterloo Region office, in downtown Kitchener, have some new company. As part of the firm’s ongoing support for the Kitchener-Waterloo Society of Artists (KWSA), we have welcomed new artwork by three local artists: Belinda Kemp, Claire Donnison and Shazia Yousaf.
KWSA has been bringing the region’s artists together since 1931, and today it has more than 100 members – professionals, students and dedicated hobbyists alike. The three whose work now hangs in our office give a fair idea of the range:
- Belinda Kemp lives in Kitchener and has painted the landscapes of Georgian Bay for many years. More recently, she has begun to experiment with abstract landscapes.
- Claire Donnison is a Kitchener digital artist and photographer. She starts with a photograph she has taken – often of something ordinary and easy to walk past – and reworks it into something abstract and bold.
- Shazia Yousaf works from a studio in downtown Galt, in Cambridge. She paints landscapes and urban scenes, primarily in acrylic, and teaches painting and sketching to children.
Thank you to Belinda, Claire and Shazia for sharing their work with us. If you are visiting the office, please take a moment to enjoy it.
Lerners’ Waterloo Region office is at 305 King Street West, Suite 301, in downtown Kitchener.
