About the Item
The beauty of a clear, cool stream—the water rippling beneath a bed of rocks is captured in this dynamic tabletop sculpture by Cheryl Wilson Smith. The glass artist finds inspiration in the rugged, rocky landscape that surrounds her home. This piece features a clear, glass rectangular bed—the water and a curated collection of ‘stones’ in an earthy palette—each hand formed and fired from layers of glass frit (ground glass).
“I’ve lived in Northern Ontario for most of my life and the impressions of the rocks, lakes and forests have been inscribed on my soul.” Cheryl Wilson Smith
She was the 2014 winner of the RBC Award for Glass through the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. Wilson Smith has received nine grants from the Ontario Arts Council and one from the Canada Council. Commissions include the Red Lake District Heritage Centre, Margaret Cochenor Memorial Hospital Donor wall. She is the recipient of the prestigious Chalmers Fellowship from the Ontario Arts Council which allowed her to work in Scotland in 2023. Her work has been exhibited widely across Canada, in the UK and the US.

Cheryl Wilson Smith
Cheryls’ art explores the passage of time and her sense of insignificance in the vast world around us. Living in the far north, on the granite and gold of the Canadian Shield and surrounded by Boreal Forest, she explores that which resonates within her soul. Drawing from her isolated life, residencies around the world and travels she has created a unique image . Like most Canadians she deals with landscape, but landscapes remembered across generations, those affecting us and those we impact. Cheryl is interested in remembrances that shape an individual’s art and design ideas. Her sculptures, the gossamer fine yet intrinsically strong structures become an active receptacle for interpretations of time and lasting memory. A place for quiet contemplation while exploring the tensions presented as we try to walk responsibly in this world and contemplate the extent to which we all alter the landscape, for better and worse. Wilson-Smith was the 2014 winner of the RBC Award for Glass through the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. The gallery published a description of her work: “Wilson’-Smith’s delicate and complex kiln-cast works are inspired by the Boreal Forest and rock shores of Red Lake where she lives. Created by translating drawings into countless individual layers of glass frit, her sculptures push the limits of glass while interpreting the northern Ontario light, landscape and wilderness.” Wilson-Smith has received nine grants from the Ontario Arts Council and one from the Canada Council. Commissions include the Red Lake District Heritage Centre, Margaret Cochenor Memorial Hospital Donor wall. Her work has been exhibited widely across Canada, in the UK and the US and is held in private and corporate collections.

- Large Flattened Form with Shards and Cane in Blues - blown glass vesselBy Susan RankinLocated in Bloomfield, ONThis beautiful burnt orange vessel in blown glass takes its organic shape and wild patterns from nature. Canadian artist Susan Rankin finds inspiration in the ever-changing colours and forms in the garden she tends to all summer. “With this new series of blown vessels I am working with more transparent translucent colours, shards, glass threads and thread drawing. The resulting pieces have a history/story built into the surface, which encompass the optic qualities of glass and light.” Susan Rankin She graduated with honors from Sheridan College, Oakville Ontario, in 1989 and received a three-year artist in residency at the Harbourfront Centre glass studio.

- Probability Deep Blue 4 - elegant, curved, abstract, glass, wall sculptureBy John Paul RobinsonLocated in Bloomfield, ONJohn Paul Robinson creates original contemporary wall sculptures from coloured glass that are filled with light. This piece features elegant arched deep blue tubes of glass that are polished to a smooth finish and overlap one another to create a dynamic composition. The Canadian artist often explores themes related to how the world works. This is one of a series intended to represent the dual nature of light as both a particle and a wave. In physics, the wave nature of light is referred to as a "probability wave". “The thickness of the glass and curvature of the lens conspire to create their own optical effect. As your gaze moves across the piece it causes the small grains of coloured glass to shift just a bit. Starry Starry Night...Category
