Kim Atlin examines landscape and still life as recurrent themes within her work using line and colour to exuberant effect, working with levels of paint and texture within the paintings to heighten the contrast and volume of the spaces she’s painting.
Wow, what a year! So much growth. So much discomfort.
I am really happy with the strides I made and feel very fortunate. My highlights would have to be my residency @pouchcove_org in April , my show @bugeralambfineart in September and my contemporary landscape show ‘Grey Areas’ @durham.art.gallery .
I have also been delighted with the strides we have made at @georgianbayarts where I am a board member and we have been working to nurture a vibrant and thriving arts community.
i wonder what 2026 will bring?
Here is a selection of the pieces I created this year. (And parts of pieces) based on my residency in Newfoundland, my travels near and far.

Here’s ‘fresh tracks 4 and 5’ both available @bugeralambfineart . They are 30x30” each and capture the light falling through a winter forest hitting patches of snow and the light that’s hitting it.
Great opening @durham.art.gallery of their contemporary landscape show ‘Grey Areas’. Nice turnout, good conversations. The show has my work with @sarahkernohan and @christine.prints . All interesting, different takes on the outside world....
A new piece 48x48” . A convergence of two bodies of work. Taking me to interesting places. Humming with all kinds of possibilities. Exciting and scary!
The ever changing sky hits the immovable object of the the land.
Opening this Saturday, Grey Areas @durham.art.gallery in Durham ON. Saturday November 29th at 2pm. I’m excited to see how they hang this show! My work alongside @sarahkernohan and @christine.prints .
This show of contemporary landscape painting is generated from the landscape in Grey and Bruce Counties.

Exhibition at River Valley Golf | 519.225.2329 4725 Line 1 St. Marys. ON - Just off Highway 7 10 minutes from St. Marys and 30 minutes from London
This location is just equal distance across highway 7 from the farm I grew up on. That glacial river valley has influenced all of my work and life. The appreciation of the effects of light and weather on our environment.
Thanks to everyone who came out to my poo up show in Toronto. Was fabulous to see so many faces and have a number of pieces find new homes . So fun… next stop, a pop up Nov 22 @river_valley_golf_tube . Looking forward to seeing you there !
I’ve been hanging out in the hood . This Georgian bay study , untitled as of yet is 24 x 30” oil on canvas. There are infinite possibilities in the area here to excite the imagination....

I’d like to invite you to come see my work. I will be sharing work from a number of series. Some created from my time in Toronto, some from my time as an Owen Sounder, some from my time at the Pouch Cove Artist Residency in Newfoundland.
It’s been a time of great change and inspiration. Come and experience it.
It would be great to see you at one of my old haunts. I hope you can join me at one or the other.

From inspiration to creation of a painting. This piece conveys the energy of this moment in time. We live in a world that has so many elements beyond our control. I am increasingly drawn towards appreciation of the moments I find myself in. Trying to notice and reflect on these instances.
Here I’m taking you through some of the stages . From inspiration to completion of This piece , trail head variation 12 is 36x36” , oil on canvas.
Moments in time . The mist is rolling in on the ground where I do yoga. I’m increasingly fascinated by incremental shifts in time and how that shift in perspective alters the fabric of space in landscape.
My show @bugeralambfineart continues. Check it out if you’re in Edmonton. It’s showing a combination of newer work based on my experience @pouchcove_org in Newfoundland and beyond.
The residency there really propelled my work forward to new directions. I’m very excited about those directions which you can see in these new pieces . All of these experiments keep pushing my craft forward, just the way I like it!
Opening tomorrow September 4th, @bugeralambfineart , 5-8 pm , I’m excited to see the new body of work created @pouchcove_org and my studio in Owen Sound . I’ll be flying in to attend the opening.

New show opening September 4 at Bugera Lamb gallery in Edmonton Alberta.
The inspiration behind my newest show is explorations hiking the rugged shore and interior of Newfoundland and freshwater lakes and parks in other provinces. We see, experience and react. At times we see echos of past people’s marks on the land. Sometimes those human interventions have been obliterated by the forces around us. We are at the mercy of the whims of nature.
The show is comprised of 15 paintings in oil on canvas and 6 of the studies I made in gouache and watercolour on panel .(sealed with cold wax)
There’s been much change in my world and the greater world. This reflects in the development of my work....
