Alice Vander Vennen
Alice Vander Vennen has worked as a professional artist since 1980. A child of immigrant parents who left war-torn Holland, Alice has used her art to capture stories of loss and hope; courage and strength. First trained as a sculptor at Calvin College, USA, with further training at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Alice now works in three-dimensional assemblage, participating in numerous exhibitions throughout North America. Her work is in public, private and corporate collections both in Canada and abroad.

Michelle's current body of work is nostalgic with a modernist take. She builds on her childhood memories of summertime and of going to the beach and lake with her family, when she often would stay with her beautiful grandmother.
These memories remind her of glamorous 1940s Hollywood. Simple objects such as life jackets, candy, and popsicle treats hearken to the past. Michelle's style of painting is clean, minimalistic, and bold, leaning on a mid-century aesthetic.
