Opening Reception: Friday, October 11th, 5-8pm
A unique study of local ecology through abstract painting. Offering a close look at the influences that support and shape plant life and development such as light, wind, rain and root types. This show is an invitation to look at plants in a different way.
Andrea Simmonds is a painter who focuses on local ecology to inform her work. Using fieldwork, reference guides, and experience, she explores the intersection of ecology and abstraction. She studies plant relationships with complementary species and translates this information into paintings. Much of her work is focused on the Garry oak ecosystem, capturing some of the rare and unique plants it encompasses. Andrea aims to help people better understand this rare ecosystem through the plants that define it.
