About the Artists
Landscapes, Abstract Landscapes and Abstracts is a convergence of 4 local artists who are exploring location, space and a sensibility of observed realities in a variety of disciplines. Golya Mirderikvand captures shadows and light on walks near Spanish Banks creating immersive paintings. Liz Ruest’s dynamic digital collages are potential landscapes evoking a longing for permanence. Shelley Wales pushes her practice with an exploration of memory and imagined landscapes of hiking trips venturing from watercolours to oils. Amanda Wood focuses on intimacy of overlooked objects in her cyanotypes.
Opening January 18th 2-6pm
