Saturday evening's dinner would not be complete without James Boraski. James not only has talent, charisma and stage presents; he also has a way of bringing people together.
James performed live Saturday night at our Retreat Appreciation Dinner & Show. We were able to listen, eat and sing along together. James created a special moment for all of us dining. It almost seemed like he created a playlist that was in sync with our thoughts, feelings and conversations! How did you do it, James!
Thank you for coming back this year! We love having you around my friend!
Always a great time!

Tracy Barry’s Bio
Tracy Barry is a visual artist from Northern Ontario. She specializes in creating paintings showcasing the beauty of Northern Ontario whether it be the majestic roots of a tree, the surreal calm of the water of the lake, or the breathtaking beauty of the Northern sky. In her subject matter, Tracy incorporates her upbringing in rural Rossport, Ontario. She creates her paintings in a way that evokes a memory, perhaps a time when the viewer may have encountered such a scene in real life.
Tracy’s artistic vision began to take shape through her sketches, which she started at the age of 10. She transitioned to oil painting in her teen years and later on in her 20's moved on to acrylics, which is her preferred medium. She has been a professional artist since 2010. What makes Tracy unique is that she produces thought provoking art. Her goal is to leave the viewer “wanting more”. In her painting she leaves room for interpretation by the viewer, thereby giving not only a unique visual representation, but also adding a philosophical element to her work.
Tracy prides herself on being a strong advocate for young entrepreneurs and not-for-profit
organizations, which is evident through her Traveling Canvas Fundraising Event (TCFE) in 2015 which she hopes to turn into an annual event. Her goal with TCFE is to establish funding for not-for-profit organizations. The inaugural event raised $700 along with another project near and dear to her, In 2015 she created Painting Party Thunder Bay, which provides the community with a new way of entertaining through team building, staff parties, public painting, and fundraising activities. Tracy moved on in 2018, from Painting Party to a new teaching method infusing a personal growth element to her workshops. "Making Art a Lifestyle" is Tracy's new statement for those who come to her classes & events. She has been consistently recognized for her work and community involvement as she is a recipient of the CEDC Summer Company Grant in 2015 and received the Exhibition Assistance grant through the Ontario Arts Counsel in 2017. She also has a featured article in the Summer Edition of the Northwest Women’s Magazine through the Chronicle Journal titled, “Be You.” In 2017 Tracy was nominated for the Community Leadership Award through SHIFT Network. Through her community involvement she has participated in the Eco Superior Rain Barrel Auction, winning the, “Best Individual Effort” Award in 2015 and 2017.
In addition to being a professional artist and community advocate Tracy is also an accomplished entrepreneur. She continues to develop her career by having opening The Nest Studio, a multifaceted business which includes the following motivation/inspirational activities in the arts such as; Painting Party Thunder Bay, Poetry Night Reading Series and Acoustic Performances. Tracy was also an original founder of The Creative art gallery as of June 2017 where she supports a variety of local artists across a variety of mediums.
"I create for a broad audience. Whether you are someone who is an art enthusiast and can decode a message in the work or can enjoy the art for what it is: an image I am creating for you, to bring home and enjoy." - Tracy Barry
Tracy’s artwork is currently displayed in Gallery 33. Throughout the summer months, her artwork can be found at artisan & craft fairs in Thunder Bay and surrounding area. She has co-ordinated painting workshops with the Adult Learning Centre, Sister Margret Smith Center, Schrieber Public Library and Gallery 33.
