Generously Sponsored by Centre & Main Chocolate

The Ah! Centre, along with Centre & Main Chocolate Warkworth presents a very unique collaborative exhibition to complete our 2026 Season called “CROSSROADS”, featuring sculptures by Michael Nathaniel Green of Havelock, Ontario, and paintings by Jennifer McGregor of Hamilton, Ontario.

Michael Nathaniel Green

Using a balance between abstraction and representation, Michael points to the ever changing qualities of reality weaving the familiar and the unfamiliar together.

He is drawn to the sensual, ephemeral and ambiguous use of everyday materials in unconventional ways. Colour also plays a central role in his sculpture as he uses it to touch on the whimsical and to stimulate one’s desire. The surfaces of Michael’s sculptures are malleable, and left revealing their handsculpted qualities.

Michael has had a solo exhibit at Art Space, Evans Contemporary and a group exhibit at Coeur Nouveau. He has exhibited at Drey Gallery, Toronto, ON. and internationally at its sister gallery in Berlin, Germany. Michael attended Georgian College, Barrie, ON. for a fine arts diploma, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB. For a BFA, and Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. for an MFA.

Jennifer McGregor

In “Crossroads”, Jennifer McGregor debuts a new series of paintings grounded in her personal connection to Warkworth. Motivated by her love for the landscape, community and cherished memories with her family in the region, the collection demonstrates a new direction for McGregor’s artistic practice; a move away from abstracted exploration of form and content towards representational expression of the very heartfelt real.

Images in the series are based on McGregor’s lived experiences in the local area: scenic views of farmland, distinct landmarks from a frequented trail, a cascade of hand hewn cedar steps in their ravine. Painted in a vibrant palette of expressive and imaginative colours, McGregor’s works convey a sense of joyful adoration and deep sentimentality for Warkworth: a secluded community to inspire connection with the natural environment, fellow artists, and a more assured sense of self.

Originally from Alberta, Jennifer McGregor began a career in design before completing the Drawing & Painting program at the Ontario College of Art and Design (now OCAD University). After living internationally in Florence, Italy for three years to expand her artistic training, she moved back to Ontario in 2006 to establish her professional studio practice. Her works are held in private and corporate collections across Canada, the United States, India, Australia, and the United Kingdom. She currently lives and works in Hamilton, Ontario.

Bob ‘Omar’ Tunnoch - The Muse, Under the Thin Blue Line

August 8 - September 20

Saturdays & Sundays | 10 AM – 4 PM
Free Admission

The Ah! Centre, along with K-Okay Cafe Warkworth presents an exciting new exhibition for our 2026 Season, featuring the artwork of award-winning surrealist painter Bob ‘Omar’ Tunnoch from Marmora, Ontario.

Musician, song writer and visual artist, Bob ‘Omar’ Tunnoch was born in Ottawa in 1953. He is a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Color and Form Society, and his paintings can be found in corporate collections across North America. His use of vibrant colours, attention to detail and thought-provoking subject matter consistently leaves the viewer questioning his motives.

The natural world has been the inspiration for his art, as he tries to portray the ignored and overlooked life forms that live around us. Bob’s art aims to engage the viewer in a visual conversation by putting the subjects in unusual and provocative situations.

Using high realism styles, he also enjoys incorporating other unique techniques into his art to effectively enhance and support his vision, including incorporating gold and silver leafing and using faux-finishing techniques like wood graining, marbling, and more.
