Josie Arnold-Radoman Brighton, Ontario 

Josie Arnold-Radoman is an award winning, contemporary landscape painter. She is an honours graduate of the Ontario College of Art Fine Art Program and received the Elizabeth Greenshield Foundation Scholarship in her 4th year to study art in Florence, Italy. 

     Working mostly in acrylic, watercolour, or mixed media her enchanting landscapes capture the wonder and magic of nature through the pairing of realism and imagination - be it of trees, starry night skies, or farmland and gardens. 

     From a young age she developed a fascination and relationship with nature and recalls many a country drive, sitting in the back seat of the car staring out the window and being mesmerized watching the movement of tall grasses waving in the breeze. 

     These types of experiences are the driver for most of her work and express the wonder, peace, and exhilaration she receives from being fully present observing the natural world around her. 

Her work has been exhibited at the Peel Art Gallery (Brampton), Gallery Hittite (Toronto), Art Gallery of Hamilton, Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts, Carnegie Gallery (Dundas), Visual Arts Centre of Clarington (Bowmanville), Parrott Gallery (Belleville), Kawartha Art Gallery (Lindsay), and The Colborne Art Gallery. 

     She was the featured "Cultural Currents" artist in the 2016 spring issue of Watershed and in 2017 had an article published in The Grapevine written by Sharon Harrison titled "A CONVERSATION WITH TREES" about her exhibition of the same name at The Colborne Art Gallery. She returned in 2023 to The Colborne Art Gallery with a solo exhibition titled "Moondance" which explored her relationship with the night sky.
