Opening Reception: August 1st, 5:30 pm
Barbara Brown is an artist and author residing in the Slocan Valley, where she paints and writes about the forest where she lives. Her show at the Gallery is entitled Sylvan Reflections exploring her intimacy with the woods which is reflected in her paintings. Barbara expertly captures the enchantment of the forest with her juxtaposition of realism lovingly rendered, with other worldly symbolism and/or geometric elements – sometimes hidden, and always spellbinding. Barbara has exhibited and won awards in juried exhibitions in the past, and she shows her work annually during the Columbia Basin Culture Tour. Online she exhibits at Manhattan Arts International, The Healing Power of Art and Artists, where she has won a Special Recognition Award in the Healing Power of Elements exhibition, Awards of Excellence in the Healing Power of Art 2020, and Spirit of Resilience shows. Her work is in private collections across the country.
SPECIAL EVENT: AUGUST 8TH, 6:30 PM
In addition to her exhibit of paintings, Barbara will also be launching her book “Volume II, Sylvan Reflections, Wanderings, Paintings and Ponderings from the Forest” along with a companion film entitled “On Beauty As We Come to It in the Forest”. This event will take place at the Gallery on August 8th at 6:30 pm. All are welcome.
