· Giving careful, serious thought or consideration

Williamson’s “Reflection” on Display captivates a diverse audience with its broad appeal, catering to various tastes and interests. If you’re searching for distinctive artwork to add to your collection, this presents a prime opportunity to enrich it.
The 3 artists Williamson’s “Reflection” on Display
Ian Williamson
Photography has always been a passion for Ian Williamson. He first gained significant exposure by taking photos for his high school yearbook, which was so successful that he burned that issue. Getting his first camera, a Pentax SLR, was the impetus for learning to make and create better photographs—a lifelong process.
There have been many changes and improvements in photography techniques and equipment. Throughout the years, the advent of the digital age has been profound. No more carrying around multiple rolls of film, rationing your shots, or working in a dark room with trays of chemicals. For him, the most significant change is the ability to sit at the computer, edit raw files, and print photographs – a complete process from start to finish. He truly feels that holding that finished print in his hands is almost as good as capturing that visual moment in time.
Colin Williamson
The gift of a twin-lens reflex camera in his early teens started his interest in photography. He was a casual photographer for many years but became more serious as he approached retirement and the free time it would bring. The development of digital photography and computerized post-processing tools allowed him to control all aspects of his photography for the first time. This and the retirement gift of a serious photo printer opened his eyes to the potential of creating art through photography.
Colin Williamson is primarily a landscape and nature photographer, but he also enjoys capturing cityscapes when travelling. Recently, he has begun photographing the rural environment of southwestern Ontario. Photography has changed how he views the world. He is constantly “cropping” what he sees, looking to find the essential part of a scene that makes it beautiful.
Anne Williamson
Anne Williamson became interested in drawing and painting with watercolours at a young age. Although her focus shifted to raising a family and pursuing a career, she always found time to sketch. As retirement approached, she started taking classes and workshops at the Dundas Valley School of Art to enhance her skills. She recently completed their Art Fundamentals Certificate Program.
She is a painter and printmaker who draws most of her inspiration from nature. Her paintings are typically representational, focusing on colour harmony and composition. Her monoprints are semi-abstract and often feature botanical elements. As an artist, she sees the world in a unique way, noticing colours, shapes, shadows, and movement. This exhibit showcases her paintings of locations she has visited in Killarney and Algonquin Park and places closer to her home in southwestern Ontario.
