TAWNY MACLACHLAN CAPON
Tawny Mclachlan CaponTawny Maclachlan Capon started out at The National Ballet School as a ballet dancer while taking art classes at the Art Gallery of Ontario. She also worked in the wardrobe of the National Ballet of Canada where she designed costumes for the companies' choreographic workshops and for other modern dance companies in Toronto. Being surrounded by the rich texture and qualities of fabrics with the National Ballet was an inspiration moving her to create and print on fabric using her own designs. She received a Diploma in Art at the Central Technical School after her ballet career and worked at the Royal Ontario Museum as an artist where she was able to access the textile collection as reference material. She has had a variety of art-related jobs over her career. She is a visual artist, working with an eclectic range of techniques and materials, including a handmade Japanese paper called Washi, to produce her delightful mixed media work, most of which is abstract. She is a long time Gabriola resident. She exhibits on a regular basis at the David Kaye Gallery in Toronto and continues to study any technique enabling her to express her ideas, from paper to welding.
