Early Canadian Period, Kingston, Ottawa, and Montreal, 1980-84
In 1980 Guity settled in Kingston, Ontario. Her first exhibition in 1981 at the Brock Street Gallery in Kingston was called Lost Serenade. The Whig-Standard magazine, published her work "Flute Player" on the cover its October 3, 1981 issue, and Don McCallum reviewed it in the same issue. He wrote:
| “ | The oil paintings of Guity Novin, whose exhibition Last Serenade opened Monday evening at the Brock Street Gallery, shows the influence of her artistic heritage... The artist uses the natural colors of the Persian scene, the turquoise of the mosques, the intense blue of the sky, the reddish brown of the old clay cities. | ” |
, and Frank Berry wrote:
| “ | The paintings of Guity Novin are steeped in ancient tradition. The philosophical underpinning of her work is the intense experience of divine, of the human, and of human emotion. It is the home from which we in the west have long ago strayed. | ” |
During this period she also exhibited at galleries in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto.
