2025 < All Sculptures 2025 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $2400.00 Geese Please Kim Collins Geese Please Mixed recycled contents: fabric sculpture-ripstop nylon/polyester from kitesurfing, windsurfing and camping tents, speciality sailcloth with kevlar, woven tarp, aluminum rigging rod, polyurethane foam, cotton, felt, and wood From the discarded remnants of high-performance outdoor textiles—tents, kitesurfing sails, and windsurfing sails—emerges a striking Canadian Goose sculpture. This artwork embodies the spirit of outdoor adventure and wildlife through its recycled composition. The process of repurposing these technical fabrics challenges the traditional linear consumption model, acting as a direct intervention against waste culture and drawing attention to the pervasive problem of microplastic pollution. The initial spark for this project was a single, damaged camping tent, a piece of waste that ignited an investigation into the possibilities of textile up-cycling. Kim Collins Kim is a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer residing in Niagara. Captivated by our natural world, her colourful 2 and 3 dimensional pieces express joy and humour. Known for her inventive use of recycled contents, Kim paints, collages and stitches together mixed materials to best emphasize the aesthetic qualities.For over a decade, Kim's design career has been in the sports industry, creating bicycle graphics and supporting marketing collateral. Check out the bike department at Canadian Tire to see her latest work.Kim has a B. Des from York University/Sheridan College and a B. Ed (Visual Art) fromNipissing University.

Item List Nyasha Mabika Nyasha Mabika was born on July 2, 1974 in Mutare Manicaland Province, in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. He was the 4th born in a family of 6 children. Nyasha attended both primary and secondary school in Bvumba, a beautiful mountainous region, near the Mozambique border. When Nyasha completed high school in 1991 he began visiting local sculpting co-operatives and assisting sculptors with sanding and polishing their sculptures. Having decided stone sculpting was a career he wished to pursue, Nyasha moved to St. Mary's in Chitungwiza to begin a formal apprenticeship with his late cousin Winston Magura. Winston taught Nyasha and they worked together from 1994 to 1996. In 1996, Nyasha had completed his apprenticeship and was looking for new challenges. He joined a group of other artists and founded an arts co-operative, the Chitungwiza Arts Centre, where he remained an active member until 2016. He now works from his home studio in Epworth. Nyasha goes to the mine himself to select stone, which is his first source of information. He enjoys working with hard stones such as Leopard Rock, Springstone and Opal. Attracted to wildlife, Nyasha says that is what most often he sees in the raw stone. Nyasha enjoys sculpting hippos and abstract pieces. His sculptures have sold to galleries and collectors from Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and Canada. ZimArt started to represent Nyasha in Canada in 2017.

The following year at age seven, Don had a group showing at the Peterborough Public Library. Public school had its usual trials and tribulations and it was not until grade 10 that Don discovered that he was colour blind to all but the primary colours. At this point Don’s life took a right turn and sculpture was all that he focused on. Don teamed up with a friend in grade 11 who became his art agent and they enjoyed considerable success in the Peterborough area. After high school Don took some time off to do his art and apprentice as a mechanic for a year. In 1973-74 he attended Sheridan Art College followed by a decision to become a professional sculptor having just received a major commission for a large 15' tall sculpture for a new mall being built in Peterborough, Ontario. This was followed by the creation of the largest sculpture in Canada in 1983 by winning a competition for an indoor work for the Michael Starr Building in Oshawa, Ontario. Always seeking new outlets for art Don acquired an art agent in Ottawa which led to an introduction to a patron who kept Don busy creating more than 40 sculptures in a period of twenty years. Don’s work internationally was recently a commission for four large works for a garden in Club Medjulis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Previously to this in an expansive design project by the late King Hussein for a 1.6 km wall of huge relief panels commemorating the history of Jordan, Don’s work on six of these panels was accepted by King Abdullah. Experiencing greater notoriety for the global uniqueness of his art, Don was presented with awards from Peterborough County and commemorated in the Walk of Fame.

Read More Leo Sepa Leo’s foray into metal art began some thirty years ago. Though the urge to create with fire and metal remained strong throughout the years, Leo’s talents were relegated to weekends and holidays at his Haliburton cottage until he retired. In 1997, he and is wife Hilary fulfilled a longtime dream by establishing Iron Jive Studio in Moore Falls, Haliburton. Leo is a participant of The Haliburton County Studio Tour, where art lovers watch him demonstrate forging techniques and visit his home gallery. Many of Leo’s ideas are conceived and captured on film during outings of rural Ontario, especially Haliburton. He is continually developing and exploring new ideas, which are reflected, in his artwork. Leo’s paternal grandfather was a blacksmith in Estonia (in fact, the name “Sepa” is derived from the Estonian “Raud Sepp” which translates as iron smith). Like his grandfather, Leo uses traditional blacksmith techniques. But he also employs the use of an oxyacetylene torch, a Mig welder, a plasma cutter and various other modern tools. He works in both recycled and new materials where he sometimes uses natural patinas creating a wide variety of pieces. Though the elder Sepa was a traditional blacksmith, forging tools and farm implements, Leo figures a little of his grandfather’s craft rubbed off on him. Leo was born in 1947 in Sweden after his Estonian parents fled to the nearby country to escape Soviet repression after the USSR invaded the Baltic. He came to Canada when he was three. Read More

Tsuda canadensis < Back Hemlock Ojibwe Name: gaagaagiwanzhiki Scientific Name: Tsuda canadensis Significance in Ojibwe Cultures: The bark is used as a stain for all woodenware. In the Great Lakes region there is lots of heavy metal toxicity in the soil which accumulates in plants and animals. The mixture of tanins and resins in the stain becomes absorbent and absorb the heavy metals in food. How to Identify the Leaves: "Its shape is conical, with a wide trunk that tapers into a thin top. Skinny flexible branches grow straight out from the trunk and then droop at the ends. The eastern hemlock’s bark is scaly when the tree is young and cracks deeply as the tree gets older. Its needles are 1 to 2 centimetres long and are shiny green on top and paler underneath. The cones of the eastern hemlock are oval shaped, and are 12 to 20 millimetres long. In the late fall and winter, the seeds fall out of the cones and onto the ground."

Acer saccharum < Back Sugar Maple Ojibwe Name: aninaatig Scientific Name: Acer saccharum Significance in Ojibwe Cultures: Indigenous peoples tapped trees by cutting v-shaped patterns into the bark or by inserting basswood or willow tubes into the tree. How to Identify the Leaves: "The sugar maple is a large tree that can grow up to 35 metres tall and can live for more than 200 years. Its yellowish-green leaves are 8 to 20 centimetres long, and have five lobes. The shape of the leaf is well known — it’s found on the Canadian flag and the sugar maple is the national tree of Canada. In the fall, the sugar maple’s leaves turn yellow, brilliant orange or red. Its bark is smooth and gray, and becomes darker and splits into ridges that curl out as the tree gets older. Seeds from the sugar maple are contained in "keys" which are 30 to 35 millimetres long. Seed is produced every year, with an abundant crop every 7 years."

2024 < All Sculptures 2024 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $4200.00 Nature Prevails Mark Puigmarti Nature Prevails I Mark Puigmarti created Nature Prevails I using forged and fabricated structural steel. The sculpture stands 72" high and weighs approximately 200lbs. Nature Prevails I is intended to inspire hope. No matter what humankind builds, creates, or discards, nature will prevail. This piece represents a minute example of a structural bridge detail called a gusset plate connection. Carefully designed and engineered for structural integrity using steel elements like angle iron and steel plates riveted throughout, is in itself an amazing feat of human innovation and progress. Yet even these monumental structures uncared for, or abandoned are always trying to revert back to their elemental beginnings through slow decay. These three angle iron sections have been hot forged into vine like growth returning back to their natural origins. Mark Puigmarti What seems like lifetimes ago I was refrigeration and HVAC mechanic. Working on commercial industrial gizmos that kept things or people warm or cold, while usually experiencing the polar opposite temperature of whatever it was I was trying to rectify. It is a respectable trade that many men and some women make a respectable living at. However, as much as I tried to make the piping arrangements visually pleasing, orderly, and followable there was something lacking. It just never quite clicked with my persistent dream to follow a more artistic path. One day about half way into a 25-year run at HVACR, I made it my mission to try and change what seemed truly unchangeable. Slowly with a long list of coincidences, happy accidents and a load of sacrifices, particularly by my supportive wife Chris, positive results started to accumulate in the intended direction of working with hot metal. This did indeed take 10 years of incremental progression to end up at the beginning of a new and completely unrecognizable life and style. It is not lost on me to grasp the sheer improbability to do that mid-career, in that career, or any for that matter. That cord was cut 14 years ago now."
