Is life inspired by art or is art inspired by life, or is it both? An evening with Nixie Barton, presented by the Vancouver Island Symphony Women of Note program.

Nixie Barton was raised on Canada's West Coast where she earned her formal art training at the University of Victoria and Nanaimo's Malaspina College. Nixie's paintings vibrate with an enticing energy springing from the juxtaposition of classic line, bold colour, intriguing pattern and a clean and fresh composition. She describes her work as having "a wonky sense of composition", with colours and strong patterns. The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria describes Nixie as "A painter of exuberant energetic images laced with historic ironic wit; her images have an easily recognizable inventive style... flowers, vegetables, furniture and ornaments are evocative of waves of immigrants with their treasures and traditions."
