Wilda Kaiser’s beautiful oil paintings capture the rugged coastal beauty of the Port Bickerton lighthouse area, from dramatic shorelines and rolling surf to breathtaking skies. 🌊🎨

Through soft brushwork and rich natural colour, Wilda brings these familiar East Coast landscapes to life, inviting us to pause and appreciate the quiet beauty of the places we call home. ✨

A selection of Wilda’s work will be available at the ArtWorks East Summer Gallery, opening June 27 for the season.

Visit our seasonal gallery, located on the Guysborough Waterfront, where you can not only take in stunning visual artwork created by local Guysborough County artists, but also enjoy the area’s beautiful waterfront and coastal scenery. ❤️

This breathtaking commissioned piece by Joanna Miller is one of her latest custom works and a perfect example of why her commission calendar fills so quickly. 🎨✨

2026 commission spots are now full, but she is officially taking waitlist bookings for 2027. 🗓️

She’ll also have a small selection of pieces available at the gallery this summer, but quantities will be very limited.

Rose Fitzgerald’s “Seven Little Pines” is a beautiful example of traditional hooked rug artistry, blending texture, colour, and craftsmanship into a scene that feels both peaceful and nostalgic. 🌲✨

From the soft swirling sky to the wildflowers in bloom, this handcrafted piece captures the quiet beauty of the natural world and the warmth of folk art traditions. 🧶🌼

This framed piece will be available at the ArtWorks East Summer Gallery, opening June 27 for the season.

For the first time ever, the gallery will be open 7 days a week, giving you even more opportunities to explore and enjoy incredible local art. 🎨
