Mark your calendar! You’re invited to a new exhibition in downtown Ladysmith! A group of eleven established, mid-Vancouver Island artists have put together their talents and inspiration to create a special show. Approximately 70 paintings will portray their individual creative approaches and, above all, share their joy for painting.Paintings range in subject and size, including smaller pieces and art cards for smaller budgets. Whether a collector, an art lover or just art-curious, come for the fun of a cultural outing, on your own or with friends. Make a day of it! Come also to meet and chat with the artists—Sylvie Bart, Sarah Boileau, Trudy Broadley, Maureen Coles, Janice Evans, Zann Hemphill, Claudia Lohman, Charlotte Mougeot, Marilyn Strongitharm, Catherine Taron, and Eileen Williamson. Each has exhibited in shows and galleries across the Island and in Vancouver. They are members of the Federation of Canadian Artists, as well as being actively involved in other local artist groups. Many have won awards for their art in juried shows. They all share a love of art, and the joy of connecting with the world through painting and storytelling. All are companions on a journey of discovery, with a continual exploration of their preferred medium. Each day of the show, there will be at least one exhibiting artist present at the gallery. On many days there will also be an artist painting, sketching or drawing, and open to your questions. Artists love to talk about their inspirations, techniques and journeys as artists, and all are unique.
