Sealskin; Gathered Kelp– Maureen Gruben

Inuvialuit artist Maureen Gruben combines industrial, domestic, and land-based materials to create works that share intimate perspectives on life in the Western Arctic. A focus on coastal materials connects Arctic and coastal regions, highlighting our dependence on ocean resources, and the beautiful speci­ficities of place that remain present in organic matter even as it is transformed.

Fare Forward –Jo Willems

An exhibition of gouache paintings from Revelstoke artist Jo Willems is a personal journey into the insights of aging and learning to let go. Each painting uses the comfortable language of landscape to invite the viewer in, though Willems utilizes slight shifts in perception to stimulate curiosity and invite the viewer to delve deeper into the meanings held within.
