The MAG Christmas show and sale is on the horizon and I'm busy creating new original oil paintings to bring with me on Dec 9 & 10 at the Merrickville Community Centre, 106 Read Street in Merrickville, Ontario. Also new are the Holiday Mini Market Saturdays for November and December at Laura's Shop, 106 Colborne St W in Merrickville. www.laurashop.ca. It's a charming location focusing on local and thoughtfully made beautiful things. The Boathouse Cafe has welcomed MAG artists to display and sell their artwork at their beautiful location directly across from the Burritts Rapids Lockstation. I am pleased to be a participating artist as they launch their new cafe and event space.

Follow along at Mary Loos Originals on Instagram to see what I'm up to in the studio.

Thank you to The Humm for featuring me in the Holiday Issue this year. @readthehumm

Each painting reflects my heart, soul, time, imagination, and experience. With paint on my hands for years, I'm thrilled that my art brings joy to living spaces. Creating original art conveys unique feelings and energy only handmade works can. As a proud member of MAG (Merrickville Artist Guild), my highlights include creating portraits for Rideau Hall, exhibiting at shows like The One of a Kind Show, Originals Show, and The Artisan Collective in Ottawa's ByWard Market for 15 years. You can find my art locally in Merrickville at Pickle and Myrrh, The Flower, Fiona Macintyre Design, and The Yellow Canoe. Outside of Merrickville see my artwork at The Perivale Gallery on Manitoulin Island and Visual Effects in Yellowknife, NT
