	Exhibition of New Work by Jess Weatherhead, Farmer and Painter
	Jess is Assistant Farm Manager with Roots and Shoots, an organic farm located near Manotick Station. She began farming as a young child giving her an appreciation for, and insight into, the relationship between local food production and the communities that are nourished and fed. For Jess, both farming and painting are a meditative process. Working from her own photographs, as well as older family photographs and those from antique stores, the subjects of her paintings explore daily life on the farm, market days and human interactions with one another and the natural environment. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to view works by an artist and farmer at a restaurant that features the produce she grows. All paintings are oil on canvas. Until November 9, 2010 1.

	New Works by Andrea Stokes. Until August, 2010
	ZenKitchen Restaurant is pleased to be hosting an exhibition of twenty-two new paintings by Andrea Stokes. Using vibrant colours and depictions of humans and animals, these works are an exploration of our relationships, both physical and metaphorical, to the world around us. Many of Andrea's subjects evoke feelings of sweetness and innocence, yet, there is an implicit or, in some cases, an explicit menacing quality that gives her work an "edge". Andrea’s paintings will continue to be on display at ZenKitchen until August 8th, 2010, and are available for purchase. While visiting Andrea’s exhibition, check out the gourmet vegan cuisine at ZenKitchen. To get in touch with Andrea, please contact: http://pinkwagon.com/ Thanks!

	Photographs by Kim Elmslie and Richard Weintrager, until Jan 3, 2010
	Artists’ Statement Each photographer brings their personal experience and technique when creating an image. While the works in this show can be enjoyed individually, they also complement each other through colour, form and content. The recurring themes of everyday objects captured in razor sharp detail evoke feelings of calm and tranquility in the viewer. Kim Elmslie Ottawa area photographer Kim Elmslie’s interest and passion for photography began at an early age when taking her first pictures with her grandfather. Since then she has experimented with both SLR and Digital imagery. Kim's work as an animal welfarist allowed her to travel extensively and provided the opportunity to photograph a wider range of unique and unusual subjects. More recently, she has turned her lens on the objects that surround her in her daily life, finding the exotic in the familiar as seen in the images chosen for ZenKitchen. Richard Weintrager A dedicated public servant and painter, Richard Weintrager brings both of these passions to his photography. Since 1985, he worked exclusively in black and white emulsion creating complex narratives with technical- and medical-grade film stock. Since meeting Kim Elmslie in 2006, Richard has been exploring social themes using colour photography. This has transformed his work both stylistically and aesthetically. In contrast to his earlier photographs Richard’s current work has evolved into more nuanced explorations and intimate views of everyday subjects captured in sensually-toned palettes of vivid colours. While having shown in private and public spaces, ZenKitchen is the first venue to exhibit Richard's new body of work.
