Milly Ristvedt
Milly Ristvedt, RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964, after studies with Takao Tanabe at the Vancouver School of Art.
In Toronto, during the 1960s and 1970s, Ristvedt was making and exhibiting large-scale paintings alongside a small but defined group of non-figurative painters who, like Ristvedt, had planted roots in modernism. These roots continue to run deep for Ristvedt, who completed her MA in Art History at Queen's University in 2011 with a thesis that explored color in the grid of contemporary painting.
Ristvedt's paintings are part of private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Vancouver Art Gallery. She has had over 50 solo exhibitions. In 2012, Ristvedt received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for her service as an advocate for artists.

Fire (Paradise Paintings) - large, geometric, abstract, group series, acrylic
By Milly Ristvedt
Located in Bloomfield, ON
A dark, forest green square is flanked by smaller squares of indigo, red and pale yellow on a hot ground of brushed red, orange and yellow in this bold acrylic on canvas. Aptly titled "Fire" this powerful image is part of the Paradise group of paintings. The eight canvases in this group are titled after the Paradise Papers, reflecting narratives of wealth, the ways in which it is made and inequality.

Herbarium - red, silver, green, bright, abstract, botanicals, acrylic on canvas
By Fiona Ackerman
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Passages of crimson, silver, gold with licks of pink and lime green acrylic paint are brushed, dripped, sprayed and shaped into a lively narrative. This masterful composition inspired by plant species of an herbarium is a playful exploration of color, texture and pattern.
Since completing her BFA through Concordia and ECIAD, Ackerman has exhibited across Canada and in Europe (Germany & France). She was longlisted for the Sobey Prize in 2015, received an honorable mention for the Kingston Prize for Canadian Portraiture in 2009, and was included in Carte Blanche...

Breathing Space for Agnes - large, bright, yellow, stripes, acrylic on canvas
By Milly Ristvedt
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Vertical stripes of buttercup yellow and cloud blue are each separated from the other by a mere whisper of white canvas. The verticals appear to breathe rhythmically against the picture plane in this homage to American painter Agnes Martin. They evoke Martin's delicate, meticulously penciled grid works and her pursuit of inner peace.
