Featured Artist at City Hall: Sarah Ronald
This month the City Hall display case (just up the stairs on your way to the council offices) holds the awesome nature-inspired work of Sarah Ronald. Featuring pencil, mixed media and graphite, her work conveys a sense of dialogue with the natural world. As Sarah says, her work is inspired by chance interactions with nature around her, whether it's a conversation, a piece of news or an article.
As usual, all work is for sale through the gift shop. Please phone 604.931.2008 ext. 102 to arrange for your purchase.

Wordless Wednesday: Spelled out for you

A bit of green
It’s March and it is green that we’re wanting. Outside, turf is brown and gardens dormant. Fir, hemlock and cedar offer a distant green, but we want green at closer quarters. A green to remind us of the coming spring… Green made by combining bright ocean blue with the lemon of the sun… Heart chakra green. Irish green. Whether you’re a Kelly or a Schmidt, a bit of green makes us feel better at this time of year. And we Blackberries have just the antidote for you for late winter: green to wear, green for decor. Either or both work well; the point is to fill your surroundings with welcoming green.

March's Featured Artist: Elizabeth Wallace
 |
| "Golden Landscape" |
Taking inspiration from B.C.’s visual treasures - rock face and sunlit gardens, seascapes and weathered buildings - Elizabeth chooses a painting form which will interpret her feeling for the subject.
 |
| "Lises’s Hydrangeas" |
Though watercolour is essentially a translucent medium, she enjoys the challenge of creating implied texture as well as the soft shape of a beautiful blossom.
 |
| "Evening Callas" |
 |
| "One Hundred Shades of Spring" |
Many of Elizabeth’s paintings begin with a pouring or under painting, allowing the melded colours to suggest shape and subject.
 |
| "Summer Wine" |
