 Just
outside of Kingston, in a stone farmhouse on Unity Road, is a wee
gallery featuring the work of many local artists, but it is the
result of one artist’s lifetime of travel, learning, teaching
and creating. Sally Chupick paints primarily in oils and watercolours
and has established herself as a respected and vital member of the
art community. She placed second in the 2006 Kingston Arts Council
Juried Art Salon, has received several public commissions for her
work and is an elected member of the Portrait Society of Canada
and the Society of Canadian Artists. For six years, until 2010,
she organized the Town & Country Studio Tour. She has taught
art and delivered workshops in Canada and Australia.
Sally’s journey began in Middleton, Nova Scotia, in 1956.
Her mother, Audrey Pauline, was also a painter. “She worked
in oils and switched over to watercolours later,” explains
Sally, “but it was more of a hobby. I remember her painting
when I was a child. I remember her setting up her things on the
dining room table, but she never had a studio until the kids left
home. . . ."
