Toni Hamel and Grimsby Public Art Gallery

McLaughlin Art Gallery: Her creations are on show in The lingering, a striking exhibition at Grimsby Public Art Gallery, according to Hamilton Spectator. The exhibition, organized and circulated by the Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery, comprises mixed-media sculptures and drawings. Toni Hamel, an award-winning multimedia artist, takes her creative cue from domestic life and turns its dullness and repetitiveness into art. Hamel was born and raised in Italy. Her art helps her to reconcile her roles of wife, mother, artist and immigrant. Having observed women lives in southern Italy and now in Canada, she casts a passionate and dispassionate eye on women roles in both cultures. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
