Julie Jarvis presents Return to Source, a new body of ink paintings inspired by daily walks through forests and ravines. Created primarily with black sumi ink, select works also incorporate natural inks made from plants, nuts, and blooms gathered along the way.

Set within the beautifully restored Royal Hotel in Picton, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down and experience the paintings with quiet attention.

Room to Breathe was a solo exhibition of 33 ink paintings presented in April 2025 at Avant Garde, an open, light-filled 4,500-square-foot space in Toronto. Conceived as an immersive and nourishing experience, the exhibition brought together ink, sound, and silence, creating room for visitors to slow down, connect, and breathe.
