Join us to hear Renata Fitzgerald talk about her lush paintings of Stratford gardens which beautifully explore form, colour, light and shadow. Born in England, Fitzgerald grew up in Stratford and studied with Bob Ihrig and Greg Curnoe before going on to study Philosophy and Fine Art the University of Guelph. Her work is inspired by her travels in India, Mexico and Central America: in Stratford’s summer gardens she sees the same beauty and lush vegetation, in its varied forms and colours, which so inspired her in the tropics.
