SUMMARY:"Interwoven" by Bernadette Badali and Craig Beal
DESCRIPTION:The Riverdale Hub Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition “Interwoven” by Bernadette Badali and Craig Beal. Opening reception will be held on Saturday\, February 7th\, 2026\, 2 to 4pm. Artist talk starts at 3pm. Exhibition on view from February 5th to 28th\, 2026. \nAbout the Artists \nToronto/Minden Hills–based artists Bernadette Badali and Craig Beal collaborate through a shared exploration of nature\, texture\, and material process. Graduates of the Ontario College of Art\, their combined backgrounds in mixed media\, painting\, photography\, and new media inform an experimental and tactile approach to artmaking. Their work has been exhibited widely in Toronto and is held in private collections throughout Canada\, the United States\, and the United Kingdom. \nBernadette’s mixed media practice draws on a lifelong connection to nature and texture\, using paint\, plaster\, paper\, and fabric to explore organic forms\, heritage\, and resilience. Craig explores natural processes through paint—guiding flow\, sediment\, and movement to create paintscapes that reveal beauty emerging from interaction and change.
