Below you will find all the challenge works created by the 7 Works Collective artists during their COVID lock down time. Most work is for sale, simply contact the artist directly for details on pricing, shipping, etc.
You will be surprised at the work you see, many of which are experimental styles outside of the artists' usual body of work. We often call this sort of project "Play Time". It is through Play that artists grow and learn. Travel with us as we navigate the months of our home-based extended Artist Residency...with a twist.

Kathryn Bossy
Influenced by our natural surroundings, my mosaic work focuses on movement and simple beauty: the whimsy of the wind blowing laundry on the line or the changing colours of each season.
Having worked and lived in Canada, England, Singapore and Australia I have been struck by the differences in light and colour. This has been reflected in my work since I began using glass over 25 years ago.
These days I spend hours exploring and treasure hunting on our property and along the Ottawa River and now defunct railway, taking photos and gathering pieces to use – the mystery of these finds become part of every mosaic story.

Catherine Gutsche
Through bold marks and a feel for colour working in layers, Ottawa artist Catherine Gutsche uses a process driven method to capture her joy for the unpredictability of her practice. She creates intricate non-representational compositions, often alluding to forms in nature but highly abstracted, driven by a need to “engage my mind”.
The 7 Works Collective challenges have stretched my usual approach into new areas, experimenting with new techniques, new materials and altered styles. Who knows what will come out of these exercises in the future. "Play" makes artists grow.
