"My nest in Potton" a sculpture made by art blacksmith Jean-François Bertrand in collaboration with people from the community. To create his work, the sculptor worked with recycled materials from old agricultural equipment. In choosing the owl, he referred to the Owl's Head Ski Resort, located near the rest area.

Inaugurated on October 1, 2017 at the Parc André-Gagnon in Mansonville, this sculpture, signed Daniel Haché, is a tribute to the Missisquoi River and the Abenaki who inhabited the area. The sculpture ‘Abenaki Waterway’ represents an Abenaki portaging with his canoe. Bolton-East artist Daniel Haché wanted to emphasize the important contribution of the Abenakis to the region, while highlighting the Missisquoi River that runs alongside André-Gagnon Park. The sculpture « Abenaki Waterway » means : - 80 full-time working days - 2 trunks of poplars 3 feet in diameter - 1 ton of steel

My sculptures are reflections on a woman's life: ponderings embodied in gesture, intent caught in movement. A fold in the clay might remind me of how it felt to stretch out on a meadow... I follow that fold, create that stretch, until a "Being" "looks back at me" and vibrates with it. I work in stoneware clay fired in a gas fired kiln, creating unique pieces that give character to a home or a garden. Some of my pieces can stay outside year round. Come and visit me at the Ruiter Brook Pottery from May to September.

Self-taught, my medium is oil painting. I like to work by intuition. I paint from the heart as I believe that my painting will first be seen by people who will pay attention to it. I am inspired by what I feel when I see a subject. What matters to me is the creation, the pleasure of discovering what is revealed under the brush strokes. I let myself be guided by the textures, the shapes and the assembly of the colors to draw a play of shadow and light.

I offer you a varied range of western cedar garden furniture that will allow you to appreciate your green space for years to come. I can also be your accomplice in designing interior furniture for this special little corner.

I paint flora, fauna, landscape +portraits in acrylic, oil and watercolours. Commissions welcome. I’m a Swiss/Canadian floundering to make sense of the world via art in a wonderful studio (the old Perkins Bakery) in beautiful Vale Perkins, between a lake and two mountains. I studied painting at Emily Carr, Vancouver, photography at NSCAD, Halifax, film at Concordia, Montreal, watercolour at the Visual Arts Centre, Montreal. Come visit my studio anytime during the Circuit des Art or when the “ouvert” banner is flying (280 chemin Owl’s Head) or by appointment.

My artworks often combine sculpture, experimental photography and video that spans the natural and built worlds, finding connections in the materials and form of each, using their duality to point to the strange suspension of humanity between them. Recent work addresses a range of environmental themes: the scarcity of fresh water, the perils of climate change, and the complex relationship of agriculture, energy and hunger.

Landscapes, cityscapes and abstractions in limited edition prints in black and white and color.

Photography inspires me to reexamine the apparent world, to focus on, frame and connect with my surroundings.  It provides an opportunity to observe, represent and ultimately recall the richness that often lies latent or overlooked in the commonplace world around us. I am interested in transmitting the sensation of the place as I have experienced it, by our collective idea of landscape and in the power of images of anonymous places to suggest, to evoke memories, real or imagined.

Open since 1975, we create garden fountains, goddesses, wall fountains and scarecrow heads plus bowls, teapots, and platters;  all made from high-fired stoneware and porcelain clay and are produced in my studio.

The North Missisquoi Trail takes you to the Ruiter Trust and the Green Mountains Nature Reserve or even to the Sutton Natural Environment Park: Fifty kilometers of opportunities! The "village-mountain" path between Potton and the Green Mountains Reserve, from the corner of Westhill Road; Including Fullerton Road, is well suited to cross-country skiing, although the main track is frequented by snowmobiles, there are several loops in the forest for snowshoers or cross-country skiers; In the Ruiter Creek Valley Trust, signs tell snowshoers to evolve leaving a blank span for skiers. Trails at Owl's Head: A partnership between Missisquoi North and Owl's Head gives rise to a hiking trail on the shore of Lake Memphremagog with ascent of Mount Owl's Head until the arrival of the main ski lift. This trail is in the last phase of construction and will be located on the eastern side of the mountain and will transport the hiker in the history of the past of the mountain while walking in an environment in full nature.

METHOD

In her studio located in the Sugarloaf Pond area of Potton, Julie-Anne Bellefleur creates small series of utilitarian pieces and one-of-a-kind works of expression. Navigating between traditional and contemporary modes, her creations are distinguished by the organic, even primitive, character they exude. Her approach is intimately linked to a quest for identity and the desire to reappropriate the cultural heritage bequeathed to her by her Wendat ancestors, "the island people".
