Jenny Baillie, “Evolution is not a Theory,” 2024

(courtesy of the Gallery)

Opening Reception: August 1st, 5:30 pm

Jenny Baillie has lived in Rossland for the past 40 years drawn by the skiing and the West Kootenay vibe. She has been painting consistently for twenty plus years, firstly in watercolours and then acrylics, which remains her preferred medium. Initially inspired by the mountains and flowers of the West Kootenays, she has also delved into a variety of art streams such as early mountaineering women, wildlife (especially bear portraits), faces of interest, and super heroes. Her work is well received and has found homes throughout North America, in the U.K. and Europe, in Australia and New Zealand.   

“My art journey has been one of experimentation. Public feedback has been interesting. I try to explain that I am “evolving” which is what I believe an artist needs to do.  Hence the title of this latest exhibition: Evolution is not a Theory. My paintings will hopefully provide a visual story that change/evolution as an artist is an integral part of the creative process. The subtle or not so subtle reference to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is intentional!”

This current exhibit represents both recent and previous work.
