UniHeART Gallery is located in the foyer at 400 McArthur Avenue. It is a joint project of Heartwood House (our building’s co-owner) and the Fellowship. We exhibit approximately 6 artists’ work in 2 month periods from September to June.
The Gallery Committee is made up of 2 representatives from Heartwood House and 2 from the Fellowship. The committee chooses the artists and hangs the shows. We encourage local artists and welcome referrals. Artists apply for a show through Nana Adu: collaboration@heartwoodhouse.ca. More info and the artist application form can be found here.

Current Exhibition
Laura Mahon
Laura was born in Ottawa, Ontario in 1968. She enrolled in a full-time fine arts diploma program at the Ottawa School of Art. In 1990 she won the Amelia Loabe Scholarship and went on to graduate in 1991. Before finishing Art School, she sold her first painting titled “Tiger Scape”.
After starting her career in art, Laura went on to exhibit in various shows in her home city and has won awards from The Nepean Arts League and The Ottawa Orchid Society. She is still exhibiting and has done numerous shows throughout Ottawa. Her works have been sold abroad and in North America. Laura is a self-taught wildlife painter and her works focus on natural diversity with some natural landscape. Laura’s style is based on high realism in acrylics.
One of the many goals in her career is to paint as much diversity on the planet and teach the importance of bio-diversity. She hopes one day to walk in the footsteps of other great wildlife artists and help contribute to conservation.
Her work will be up till the end of October. Please take time to visit and inquire about any pieces you’d like to make your own.
