The walls at Town Hall in Caledon East are known as a place for art to be displayed, and there is currently a collection of creations by a local artist.
Caledon East resident Carolina Rennig is currently showing a collection of 10 of her oil creations. They have been on display about three weeks. She said she’s been showing her works for about 10 years.
Rennig was one of the participants in the Headwaters Parade of Horses that symbolized the local involvement in the 2015 Pam American Games. Her creation is currently at the Trisan Centre in Schomberg.
“It was such an honour,” she said.
Painting has been part of her life since she was a child in Holland during the Second World War.
“During my life, I’ve been painting off and on,” she said.
“Painting is for me satisfying, calmness and peace,” she added.
Rennig was born and raised on a farm, where she was exposed to the beauty of animals, like horses, and nature. That has always been an inspiration to her.
Artistic creativity also seems to run in her family. Her brother Joseph was a member of the Royal Canadian Society of Fine arts, and another brother Andreas has a sculpture studio in the Rockwood Academy.
