Our first exhibition of 2015 proudly showcases the work of three local artists: Sherry Nielsen, Dawn Remington and David Mio.
Sherry Nielsen and Dawn Remington both draw their inspiration from the stunning rural landscapes of northern B.C. Nielsen’s roots were in a farming community in central Alberta. From her earliest memory she has been captivated by contrasting values, vibrant colours and design. Remington’s career in freshwater biology in northern B.C. spanned 35 years, giving her a deep intimacy with and appreciation for the beautiful and diverse part of the world she felt privileged to live and work in. They had a lot of fun working together on this show, attempting to share through their paintings the mountains and rivers of the North in This Place We Call Home.
David Mio threw himself enthusiastically into oil painting following retirement in 2009. His choice of subject matter is influenced by whatever gives him an instantaneous reaction, whether it is a landscape, portrait, or body in motion. His first-ever exhibition in a public gallery, Expressions, showcases works in which he has attempted to capture on canvas the expressed beauty of a landscape, the expressed mood and personality of a portrait, or the expressed energy and movement of the human body.
Exhibition dates: Feb. 3-Mar. 14.
Opening Reception: Friday, Feb. 6, 7-9 p.m.
Come along and meet the artists. All welcome, free admission and open to all members of the public. Appetizers are provided.
