Artists of Stonebridge

A beautiful card featuring the acrylic on canvas painting “Fortunate to Have You Here” by Nicole Parent was just one of many in the Artists of Stonebridge 2019 Wildlife & Habitat Painting Collection that was gifted to the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre (OCWC). Kate MacNeil, the OCWC’s Executive Director, accepted the cards along with a donation to the OCWC at the Artists of Stonebridge’s 10th Anniversary Art Show in December 2019. The focus of the show was to promote the wildlife and habitat in our communities, a perfect fit for the OCWC that has been operating in the Ottawa community since 1987.

The sentiment behind the Collection, according to organizers, is to recognize, “it is essential that humans live in harmony with the natural world. We know, although we often forget, that proximity to nature is an immense benefit to our mental and physical well-being”.

​​The Artists of Stonebridge is a non-profit organization founded in October 2010. Their vision is to “increase awareness, appreciation and promotion of original art to the community and provide artists with the opportunity to interact and learn from other artists as well as exhibit and sell their artwork in the community”.

The OCWC is so grateful to have the support of the Ottawa community like this honour from the Artists of Stonebridge. The OCWC is committed to educating people about wildlife and helping to foster an appreciation for the natural world and the important role all species play in a healthy ecosystem. ​
