With  a dedicated  Board of Managers, a membership of hardworking individuals and the support  of the community, Gallery in the Grove strives to move forward into the future with excellence.

Nestled among a grove of towering trees in Wildwood Park is the historic and stately Faethorne House built in 1875.

In 1980, a small group of people interested in establishing an art gallery were given permission to use part of the property and it became Gallery in the Grove on the upper floor of the building. The Bright's Grove Library occupies the lower floor.  Gallery in the Grove is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers.

“NEAR AND AFAR”

Featuring PATTY THERRIEN  & KAREN DICKSON 

Patricia Ann Therrien studied “Art Fundamentals” at Sarnia’s own Lambton College before continuing on to the “Fine Arts” program at Fanshawe College in London.

No stranger to “people, places and things”, Patricia spent much of her early adulthood raising horses and caring for her family.

Always affected by nature, Patricia began to let nature influence her and the artwork she compiled. Patricia works, not only on her own pieces, but she instructs classes at Bear Creek Studio in oils, acrylics and drawing.

Patricia’s work has become an extension of the aspects of life that surround and influence her, and she invites you to take a peek at one local artist’s interpretation of the Lake Huron area and more. 

Karen Dickson, MASc., P.Eng. went to high school in Alliston, Ontario and later being analytical, curious and creative, became an engineer and moved to Sarnia for a career in the chemical valley.

Upon finishing her Master’s degree she continued her artistic studies. She took classes locally and in the Haliburton School of the Arts developing her skills, especially in acrylic paint. She also enjoys working with pastels.

Karen now teaches at Bear Creek Studio where she had studied earlier. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Lawrence House Centre for the Arts and is a regular participant in the Sarnia Artists’ Studio Tour.

She has shown at the Lawrence House, Imperial Theatre, Art in the Park, Victoria Playhouse and her work is in a number of private collections.

Karen has organized a number of artist to create works from sessions with the Lambton Concert Band, which is an endeavour to be watched for.
