A little INTRODUCTION to some big hearts generously contributing their time and talents to The Mission Hall Project:
* Ricki is island inspiration at it's best! When time allows, creativity flows from her gentle soul.
We are honoured to be having Ricki paint her interpretation of Mission Hall. We wait with anticipation for the finished work, which will be available at The Spring Event.
* Mitchell just might be Pelee Island's newest biggest fan!
He is multi-talented, from woodworking to photography and beyond...

In the meantime enjoy this 'Sassy Magpie's' beautiful magical creations. Look for the healing stones!
* Melise has definitely 'found her voice'. No doubt, she's on fire!
She may be working now as a talented Tattoo Artist in Detroit, but at heart she will always be a true Pelee girl, blazing her own trail...

Artist Statement: These large-scale oil figurative works aim to provoke questions for the viewer by opposing a manipulated human form against a lush application of paint. The physical enormity of this series is intended to challenge the real-space physicality of the audience and provoke a wide range of strong emotion. Melise Hill ' Throat ' will be displayed on April 23rd |

FALL 2018
Looking back at this now I reflect on the memories of these early stages of The Mission Hall Project. I remember the success of this first fundraiser and the summer event. So much hard work and fun experiences along with all the anxieties of preparations helped prepare us for great rewards! The creating has not stopped, we continue to carry the energy of the project by sharing new pieces with you...
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up, maybe you too will be inspired!
