Ste. Anne Artist Celebrates St. Boniface Gallery Exhibit

For the past three years, Pierrette Sherwood owned and operated a little antique and artist’s haven in the community of Ste. Anne. While she closed the retail business, she has turned her
focus back into what she loves the most, creating beautiful metal sculptures and art. This gamble has paid off as she was invited to set up her first gallery show at the Le Musée de St.
Boniface Museum in Winnipeg. “The opportunity for this show came to me this spring, and I spent all summer getting my pieces together,” Sherwood explained. Drawn to old agricultural implements and antiques, Sherwood transforms rustic metal and found objects through sculpture, mosaic and assemblage. “The inherent character of these pieces carries a sense of history and tradition. It beckons a respect for the past. I want to capture this essence and translate it into works that draw on nostalgia as well as one’s own relationship with the earth,” Sherwood explained. “Objects carry memories, stirring emotions that are often deeply rooted, and so my creative process can be at once provocative and self-reflective.” As a self-taught artist, she was drawn to creating art since a very young age. With an interest in reclaimed materials, and metal, she took a welding course at Red River Community College followed by a metal-smithing course at the Mechosin International School of the Arts in 2010. “For many years I did the corporate route, but I felt a
restlessness that remained unfulfilled,” Sherwood continued. “I needed to do what was in my heart... my art; I have not looked back.” In 2012, she quit her job to pursue a career as a professional artist. At the time she opened Papillon Creations in Ste. Anne where she displayed her art and vintage to the public. She was later awarded first prize at a “Dragon’s Den” like contest initiated by the Economic Development Corporation of Manitoba (CDEM). Her artwork has since garnered local and national media attention. This Fall she will be featured as a guest artist on “Handcrafted Manitoba”, an MTS Stories from Home series airing on the MTS On Demand network. Sherwood’s gallery show is running at the Le Musée de St. Boniface Museum in Winnipeg from September 16 to December 23. All the pieces are for sale. Her products can also be found at Lacaste Garden Centre and the Old House Revival on Young Street.

Steinbach RCMP Respond to Serious Single Vehicle Collision
At approximately 3:15 pm on October 1, Steinbach RCMP responded to a single-vehicle collision on the Trans-Canada Highway, approximately two and a half kilometres west of Highway 12. A westbound vehicle rolled and landed in the north ditch. A 29-year-old male from Ontario was the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle. He was transported to Winnipeg hospital in serious condition. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the collision. It appears the driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision. Traffic was delayed in the area for about 5 hours. A RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
Rollover Lands in Farmer’s Field
Just after 6 pm on September 27 the Ste. Anne Fire Department, Ste. Anne Police Department and the RCMP responded to a single vehicle rollover on Caledonia Road. The vehicle left the road and landed about 45 feet away in a farmer’s field. A lone male occupant suffered lacerations and was transported to hospital by ambulance. The injuries were non life threatening.
