STUDIO - OILS
His-and-Her Studios in Quebec Artists John Ballantyne and Liz Davidson renovated their 1862 farmhouse in Quebec to incorporate space for twin art studios, located in the property’s former barn. Their offices sit on a mezzanine level overlooking the studios. Ballantyne, who prefers to work in the morning sun, had his studio built on the east side. Davidson, shown here, chose the west side, so she could savor the light of the setting sun.
Converted Mill Gallery in Ontario Artist Jean Shafer and her husband, George, live in this converted 1870 woolen mill building in Ontario. The space includes an art gallery in the entry, separated from the rest of the space by a custom-made glass barn door. Other artists and creative people share space in the mill building, and the gallery is sited near the entrance to allow for easier access when the mill hosts open studios.
