‘FUSION’ - an abstract artist interprets a songwriters words and music live, with a camera on the canvas we project the artwork onto a screen for the audience to enjoy. Local abstract artists Janice Brown and Shannon Bowdring were featured this year. Fusion promises to be an exciting new addition for the SONGWRITERS MUSIC FESTIVAL.

Shannon Bowdring is an abstract and mixed-media artist whose paintings could be described as emotion on canvas. Mainly self-taught, her work uses layers, colour, and texture and seeks to evoke emotion in the viewer. Some of Shannon ’s satisfaction as an artist comes from showing others they can be artists as well. As a painting instructor at institutions such as The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, she hopes to inspire and guide students to learn the fundamentals of art while prioritizing experimentation instead of traditional theory. Shannon ’s vision of making the world better through art is realized when a student discovers skills they have buried inside. Shannon works as a graphic artist and illustrator and her works have been shown in various group exhibitions across Ontario.

    • Hi Jake - Congratulations!! We've almost worn out your CD we've listened to it so often. You are a very talented young man & deserve every award that comes your way.

    • I really enjoyed the music today. Thanks a lot everyone!

      I don't see Dave's full name here on the website, by the way. Would love to hear more of his stuff, and Hallie's too - both were very much to my taste.

      I'll try to make it back on Aug. 14.

    • I posted pictures on the Facebook page: A Songwriters Music Festival There is one photo for each of the artists that performed at the Whitby waterfront and some of the artists from Ajax who performed later at Ron's

    • I enjoyed all the songs performed live at the Whitby location of Songwriters at the Waterfront. Thanks go out to Claudia, Ed, Eric, Ray, Rebecca, Ron, and Roy.

    • nice music

    • So Love the website, thank you Carrie & Ron & Emmie & everybody!!!!
