A dynamic, multifaceted portrait of Sunshine Coast life in the Eve Smart Gallery, sparking conversation and reflection on memory, environment, and interpretation. United by place but distinct in perspective, each artist offers a unique interpretation of the Sunshine Coast’s iconic landscapes. Eva Taylor’s vivid acrylic landscapes capture the Coast’s energy and colour, Matthew Boismier’s evocative watercolours reflect the emotional tone of the environment, and Cambria Logan’s high contrast minimalism and use of a variety of mediums lend themselves to the creation of striking sculptural works. Together, these artists invite viewers to explore how a shared subject can be transformed through three artistic lenses.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 17th, 2pm – 4pm!
Pulling from the artist’s lived experience with disability and difficulty, this exhibition in the Main Gallery is filled with creatures that are nuanced and strange, broken and fierce, and filled with conflicting layers that make up the whole of who they are. Mixed media sculptures, drawings, oil paintings, and collage are used to create figures evolving through time, existing in a wild place where strange beings can stretch their legs, escape, belong, or find their place in the world.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 17th, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
to Jan 18th. We are delighted to showcase the work of Corinne Barber, a British Columbia–born artist whose paintings beautifully reflect the landscapes and memories that have shaped her life. Having spent her early years in Vancouver and the last three decades on the Sunshine Coast, Corinne draws deeply from the places she knows best. Her art captures both the nostalgia of urban Vancouver and the serene, restorative qualities of West Coast nature, inviting viewers into a shared emotional connection with the region.

to Nov 8th. The exhibition “Poetics of the Discarded” is a series of paintings and multi-media installations that explore the relationship between material consumption and natural existence, breathing new life into abandoned objects and daily waste by intertwining them with natural elements like forests, rivers, mountains, and oceans.
The exhibition “Unseen Forces” is a series of paintings that reflect the idea of the unseen forces that often serve as unconscious catalysts to the creative process when working in the abstract, using a mix of standard, non-standard, and recycled substrates including canvas, upholstery fabric, burlap and construction building paper, as a reflection of the artist’s anxieties about the non-sustainable practices involved in the fine art industry.
Robin Ripley and Ilze Bebris create a conversation through their works in the Eve Smart Gallery – Ilze’s mixed media collage panels and Robin’s wall and suspended assemblages. They exemplify how makers speak through the objects and images created, and often in the making, the work shifts direction. Though their collaborative approach and by close listening to the visual vocabulary of each other they have created an unfolding and fluid conversation of intimate sculptures and collages.
