The Collections

​The Collections on this website consist of works of art acquired by Shelley Lambe during her 40+ years in Toronto as an art dealer, art consultant, and collector.  Shelley now lives an hour from Toronto in Millbrook ([email protected]), where her focus has turned to online sales of these original works of art in all mediums by Canadian and International artists.

Representational Works
Abstracted Canadian Fall Landscape York Wilson
York Wilson, Oil on Board - "Fall Field" - $1,800 Framed
Autumn Vista York Wilson Abstracted Canadian landscape oil painting
York Wilson, Oil on Board - "Autumn Vista" - $1,800 Framed
This Collection includes works that one might refer to as Representational, Impressionistic or Abstracted imagery. Representational art describes artworks that are clearly derived from real object sources, and therefore are by definition representing something with strong visual references to the real world. Impressionist artists do not try to paint a reflection of real life, but an ‘impression’ of what the person, light, atmosphere, object or landscape looks like to them. They try to capture the movement and life of what they see and show it to us as if it were happening before our eyes. 
Some of these works are historical or traditional in nature in that they were created by artists having relevance in the history of Canadian Art of the sixties, seventies and eighties. The Landscape paintings depict Canadian scenery including mostly images from Ontario and Quebec.

Contemporary Collection ​

Contemporary art is the term used for art of the present day. Usually the artists are alive and still making work. Contemporary art is often about ideas and concerns rather than solely the aesthetic (the look of the work).  A large part of this contemporary collection is Abstract.   ​

Abstract Art

Schuyler Lake large blue acrylic abstract painting
Schuyler Lake, Acrylic on Canvas - "Untitled" - $2,800 with Artist's Frame
Abstract art uses a visual language of shape, form, colour and line to create a composition that may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world, its depiction a departure from reality. This departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete. Non-figurative, non-objective, and non-representational art are closely related terms.

Abstracted Imagery 

Abstracted imagery appeals to the art buyer who wants to identify with the subject matter but who also appreciates a contemporary abstracted style leaving something to the imagination.​

Unique Works on Paper

There are many mediums popular with artists all over the world who create single images on paper. Some of these mediums might be:  watercolour, acrylic or oil paint, pastel, gouache, ink, graphite, charcoal, conté crayons, encaustic, or egg tempera.  Monoprints or monotypes, also unique images, usually involve the process of putting the paper through a press. ​
Gerald Sevier Watercolour painting Fall comes to the country Warkworth
Gerald Sevier, Watercolour - "Fall Comes to the Country, Warkworth, Ontario" - $1,600 Framed
Watercolour, also Aquarelle, is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution.  Watercolours refer to both the medium and the resulting artwork and are usually painted on paper.

Limited Edition Original Prints

​An original print is a work of art created and printed by hand, either by the artist or by a professional assistant (often called an artisan) from a plate, block, stone, or stencil that has been hand created for the sole purpose of producing the desired image. The most commonly known original prints are etchings, lithographs and screen prints that you will mostly find in this collection.
