Hand produced silk screen prints in the traditional style of the Coast Salish People explore place names and different aspects of storytelling and culture.

Striving to express her People’s history and all of our futures using her art, Fritz focuses on the animals and scenes of the West Coast of Canada and our relationships with them.

to Oct 14th. Niina Chebry’s exhibition A Change of Climate in the Main Gallery uses the iceberg as a main subject representing a range of sentiments, particularly towards climate change. Paintings of the iceberg in various forms of existence are imbued with their majestic beauty along with their peril. As we experience more climate disruptors such as droughts, floods, fires, and extreme weather patterns, feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness related to eco-anxiety rise. Through her sweeping moody compositions, capturing of weather and time changes, and variously angled micro and macro visions of icebergs, Chebry aims to generate awareness and discussion and to inspire and stir the viewer.

In his work Myron Jones distills the core elements of the countryside or seaside around him, carefully constructing landscapes with an emphasis on form, simplicity, minimalism occasionally bordering on abstraction, and the visual effects of light and weather.
