2nd Avenue Gallery

2nd Avenue Gallery

This studio is owned by an Owen Sound artist named Hillie Baker. She began painting at a young age but stepped away from art for a time. When she returned to artwork, she began making fiber art, like yarn and fabrics. She owned a sheep farm in Niagara and sold wool products for many years. Then, she returned to oil painting after an injury. Her current gallery primarily includes oil on canvas paintings and some fiber work. Her early paintings include abstracts with a similar texture to her fiber work. Newer pieces are calmer and more reflective, with figures present. This gallery also has an art studio hosting classes on-site, like painting for teens and portrait classes to help those in the community learn more about art.
