22”x17”

Karen Nieuwland, born in the Netherlands. Primary and Secondary education in Italy and Switzerland. I graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (now NSCADU) in April 2003 with a Major in Photography, while taking lots of Printmaking classes. Before coming to Halifax I lived in Switzerland where, from 1987 to 1993, I followed classes at the Atelier Experimental Arts Visuels et Fibres with multi-media artist Christine Aymon, in Verossaz. There I could approach the different domains of weaving, painting, collage and installation. Between 1991 and 1996, I experimented in my studio while attending a variety of workshops, mostly in Switzerland. Having decided to follow the Creative Path, in the summer of 1983 I first took art classes in Switzerland and the Netherlands (Ceramics, Sculpture, Dance) and, from fall 1985 to 1986, a year long weekly workshop in watercolor and clay modeling at the Anthroposophical Workshop at Krimpen and Ijssel (near Rotterdam). During this same period I volunteered with different community organizations in eldercare, interfaith work, as well as cultural programs. Since graduating, I continued living in Halifax and have been for a number of years an active member of Viewpoint Gallery (a photographer’s coop) where I had three solo exhibitions while participating in numerous group-shows. The last three solo exhibitions (in2008 and 2010 at Viewpoint and in 2012 at the Nova Scotia Archives) were photographs which are illustrating a book: “Touchstones: Encounters with the Spirit of Nova Scotia” published in 2012

24”x18”

Part of “Earth, Water, Spirit”, shown once at the Viewpoint Gallery, 2006.

Hand-processed and selenium toned for archival stability.

Mary wrote us, “I worked as a photographer for hire sporadically through the mid ’90’s to around 2010, and was also represented by the then Canada In Stock stock agency. I started creating alternate-process photography in the later ’90’s using infrared film, hand-tinting many images, and also working with Polaroid Transfer. I joined ViewPoint Gallery Co-op at its first location in its first year, I believe it was 2000 and was a member until 2007, and presented three solo shows and participated in group shows.  In the past several years I have explored painting in acrylic and some mixed media and sell my paintings and collages.
