Critically acclaimed landscape artist Brent Laycock presents a solo exhibition of new work, opening Saturday October 14 between 1 and 4 pm. A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts as well as the Society of Canadian Artists, Brent Laycock received his MFA and BFA from Brigham Young University, Utah.

Exhibition continues through October 26.
"The majority of my paintings are landscapes. Although I have experimented with many other forms and subjects, it is the interaction with the land that continually fuels my interest. Perhaps this passion comes from my background as a farm boy or perhaps it comes from just living where the sky, mountains, prairie and water have a continual impact in my perceptions. In the landscape, I see the spiritual connection between ourselves and the divine. I only hope to transmit some of its power to uplift the soul." – Brent R. Laycock
