Tourism Ads

This new tourism ad from the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador features a nearby attraction.  The Barbour Living Heritage Village is in Newtown, Bonavista Bay, just ten minutes or less from my studio.  My mom grew up in Newtown, and I spent lots of time there as a kid, at my grandparents' house just over on the point past the historic Barbour houses.  The video also shows other sites in my region, slightly farther afield.

2012

A new year with new focus here at Norton's Cove Studio.
I start my Surfacing project today, with the help of a NL Arts Council Project Grant, and am very excited to have started a new daily agenda, writing in all my plans for this year.  My goal is to have a new body of work created by May/June, ready to go out in search of new venues to show my work, and gallery representatives to sell my work for me.  Look for a new page on this site with photo updates of my progress as the next few months roll out...

The Gill's Place

12x18" | Oil on Plywood | Janet Davis 2011

This is a small commissioned piece that I did which I guess has been unwrapped by now.  Hopefully it is being enjoyed in its new home in Nova Scotia.  The property pictured belonged to Edwin Gill and then his son, Gerald Gill.  It sits overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Newtown, just a ten minute drive from my studio.  This house and the people who have lived in it have been an important part of my childhood and what led me to appreciate  my heritage.

Seasons Greetings

Merry Christmas from Norton's Cove Studio!

Frederick with Jack the Labrador

Because I'll be spending time with family and friends, the studio will be closed on December 25 & 26, as well as January 1.

Any other time during the 12 days of Christmas, I'll be open by chance or appointment, as usual.  And you can call or text me at 536-8166 anytime to arrange a visit at the studio, or to check to see if I'm in.  I'd hate to miss your visit!

Annual Christmas Party #10

I can hardly believe that I'm in my tenth year at the studio.  I'll have some special give-aways this year, as a big thank you to my supporters, who I wouldn't be here without.  Join us for an evening of celebration!

Christmas Tea & Sale

I'm getting my things ready to bring to this event in St. John's this coming weekend.  I'll be bringing the  following pieces with me- if there's anything else on the website that you'd like to get a closer look at, let me know, and I'll bring it along.
