Vanessa McKernan | Dusk
Read MoreSept 13 - 27
Vernissage: Saturday, Sept 13 @ 3 - 5 pm
Wall Space Gallery is excited to present a solo exhibition by Vanessa Mckernan. An oil painter who recently relocated from Toronto to the Ottawa Valley, McKernan creates dreamlike, emotionally resonant works that blur the lines between intentional thought and the subconscious. Her practice draws deeply from the garden as a recurring symbol, exploring themes of impermanence, intimacy, mothering, and the cycles of death and rebirth. Infused with personal experience, historical references, and intuitive imagery, her paintings offer a poetic meditation on the complexities of the feminine psyche. -
Boyd Waites | Feature
Sept 13 - 27
Vernissage: Saturday, Sept 13 @ 3 - 5 pm
Wall Space Gallery is proud to present a curated feature of new work by Canadian artist Boyd Waites. With imagery that is partially obscured and grounded in landscape, these paintings encourage a personal and emotional response. Waites invites viewers to interpret each piece through their own sensory experience. The use of soft blending, thin layers, and subtle transitions creates a quiet, atmospheric quality. This approach may evoke a sense of calm, contemplation, or memory. The works suggest a reflective mood and a quiet strength, offering space for thought and interpretation rather than directing it. This collection continues Waites’ exploration of tone, space, and feeling. -

Wall Space Gallery is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by Brian Harvey that captures fleeting moments in Ottawa’s
urban landscape.
Harvey draws inspiration from a recent visit to the city, focusing on quiet, often overlooked elements of the built environment. Streets, corners, and unremarkable buildings become sites of reflection, offering a fresh perspective on the everyday. His paintings celebrate the subtle beauty found in these spaces, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. -
