An active lifestyle and involvement in our community matter to us at Cunningham Swan. Recently, that has included the County Marathon in Prince Edward County, and our annual softball game against MNP.

Special congratulations to Tabi Bastiaan for completing her first half marathon and beating the time she had hoped for!

On the softball field, we didn’t come away with the win against MNP, but we had the MOST fun!

October Artist Spotlight

Bold colour, expressive brushwork, and a distinctly Canadian landscape perspective are on display at Cunningham Swan this October.

We are pleased to feature the work of local Kingston artist Julie Malette in BR1 throughout the month.

A self-taught artist, Julie creates Canadian contemporary abstract landscapes. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, she explores the relationship between colour, form, and emotion through vibrant palettes, bold brushstrokes, and stylized shapes inspired by the natural world.

We invite you to take a moment to enjoy Julie’s work during your visit.

September Artist Spotlight

Some artwork does more than fill a wall. It changes the feeling of a space.

This month, we are pleased to feature the work of Michelle Reid, an award-winning Canadian painter based in Kingston, Ontario.

Michelle is known for bold structural linework, sophisticated colour relationships, and a signature use of backlighting, an approach that has led her work to be described as “bottling light.” Her paintings move between landscapes, urban scenes, and quiet rural subjects, bringing colour, structure, and luminosity into the spaces they inhabit.

Her work has earned national and international recognition, including being selected to represent Canada at the Silk Road: Artists’ Rendezvous cultural exchange in China.

Through our Artist Spotlight series, we are grateful to feature Michelle’s work at the firm and invite our team, clients, and visitors to take a moment to enjoy it during their visit.
