Making Our Mark

Janet Taylor
Miriam Traher
Lindsay Smail

We are three Ontario-based artists who create abstract paintings inspired by our personal stories and the natural world.

United by a similar approach to painting, we make marks and respond, take risks and pause—always seeking something genuine and true in the moment.

While we approach painting similarly, the results are as unique as we are. Different experiences, different priorities, different choices—we exemplify the commonality and uniqueness of human experience.

The work we created for this exhibition highlights what we share and where we differ. Bold graphic work sits next to colour-drenched minimalism. Intricate edges find their echo in scratched marks. These juxtapositions invite you to see our work with fresh eye—and provide a framework to appreciate the subtleties of abstract painting.
