Welcome to the Oceanside Gallery Website
I am so pleased to be able to welcome you to my website, so please let me introduce myself. My name is Judy Suirane, and I have recently opened a lovely art gallery in my beautiful hometown of Pictou, Nova Scotia Canada. Here I feature many local artists, as well as artists from all over the Maritimes. I feature one of a kind creations in jewellery, Inuit carvings, wood carvings as well as oil, water and acrylic paintings of all sizes.
This journey is new, uncharted and exciting, and I look forward to this great adventure. I hope you will come back often and view the many wonderful works I have to offer. Please feel free to contact me with any critique or questions you may have.
So forward and onward!
LOVELY SCENE OF PICTURESQUE NOVA SCOTIA
The inspiration of many an artist over the years. The salt of the ocean is said to be in our veins! Living away from the smell and sight of the ocean can cause many a maritimer a sense of sadness and homesickness. Once a Maritimer always a Maritimer!! Some of the paintings on this site will bring back fond memories to those who are away from home. So enjoy your visit and hopefully you will find something extraordinary!!!

DRAGONFLY SYMBOLISM
Dragonfly symbolism crosses and combines with that of the butterfly and change. The dragonfly symbolizes going past self-created illusions that limit our growing and changing. Dragonflies are a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. They are fantastic flyers, darting like light, twisting, turning, changing direction, even going backwards as the need arises. They are inhabitants of two realms - starting with water, and moving to the air with maturity, but staying close to water. Some people who have the dragonfly as their totem have had emotional and passionate early years, but as they get older they achieve balance with mental clarity and control. They gain an expression of the emotional and mental together. Dragonflies are old and adaptive insects, and are most powerful in the summer under the effects of warmth and sunlight. Their colors are a result of reflecting and refracting the power of light. As a result, they are associated with color magic, illusion in causing others only to see what you wish, and other mysticism. The are often represented in Japanese paintings, representing new light and joy. To some Native Americans they are the souls of the dead. Faerie stories say that they used to be real dragons. Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and can reflect the light in powerful ways if we choose to do so. "Let there be light" is the divine prompting to use the creative imagination as a force within your life. They help you to see through your illusions and allow your own light to shine in a new vision.
