Big Blue Gallery
Summer Exhibitions 2026
A curated season of contemporary exhibitions presented at Big Blue Gallery.
Vessel
Janet Moore
Layered, intuitive, and quietly atmospheric. Big Blue Gallery presents paintings, abstract and mixed media works by Janet Moore — works built through handmade paper, collage, paint, graphite, and charcoal, where traces of earlier marks and textures continue to emerge through the surface.
Original works available for acquisition throughout the exhibition.

Taking Up Space
Jessica Sheila
In Taking Up Space, Jessica Sheila paints on fabric and thrifted linens that already carry traces of use, care, and history. Handkerchiefs, aprons, tablecloths, embroidery, and lace become places for colour, movement, and trust — a way of quieting the inner critic and following the hand.
These works are about permission: to take up room, to work more freely, and to add a new layer of expression to objects that once belonged to everyday life.
Explore ExhibitionOpening Reception: July 3, 6–8 PM
Dreaming on the Outside
Ray Mackie
Dreaming on the Outside explores the relationship between the external world and inner experience. Using landscapes, objects, and places as points of departure, Ray Mackie transforms familiar subjects into reflections on memory, identity, transformation, and the search for meaning.
Explore ExhibitionOpening Reception: August 7, 6–8 PM
RÉvangéline
François Gaudet
François Gaudet’s RÉvangéline series explores spaces left behind, art ecology, identity, spirituality, sexuality, and the bittersweet idea of paradise lost — layering narratives that reflect and reimagine Acadian culture.
