Artist Spotlight: Anne Savage 

September 14, 2026

Anne Savage painted landscapes full of rhythm, jewel-toned colour, and an intimate sense of place — from the hills of the Laurentians to the mountains of British Columbia — in whatever spare hours her teaching career allowed. Discover the life and practice of one of Canada's most distinctive landscape painters in this artist spotlight by McMichael curator John Geoghegan.

Artist Spotlight: Bess Larkin Housser Harris

May 7, 2026

The paintings of Bess Harris capture the spirit of the landscape through a vivid, intuitive approach shaped outside formal academic training. An artist, writer, and critic deeply embedded in Canada’s modernist art community, she made significant yet often overlooked contributions to Canadian art history.
