Show Times: 10am – 4pm, daily Oct 30-Nov 5 Exhibition Details: “Mixed Mediums; Shared Dreams An Exhibition by Seven Women Artists This exhibition showcases the work of seven women artists whose creative journeys have been shaped by a shared practice of painting together each week. Working across a range of mediums—oil, acrylic, collage, watercolor, and inks—their works are as diverse as their materials and styles. What unites these artists is a deep connection to place—and to one another. Some draw inspiration from the natural beauty and rhythm of coastal life, their work echoing the casual elegance of the region they call home. Others are compelled by subjects beyond their immediate surroundings, exploring themes that challenge them to capture more than what is simply seen. From the shifting light on the water to the gleam of a silver vase, each piece reflects a unique perspective, yet all are enriched by the group’s shared practice. In painting together, they exchange ideas, offer critique, and grow through the interplay of differing voices and skill levels. This is more than an exhibition—it’s a conversation in paint, formed over time, and rooted in friendship, critique, and the courage to grow. Participants: Peggy Acomba, Roberta Calder, Kathryn Compton, Christine Crawford, Marie Green, Lois Kissinger, Sandra Mar Website: https://kathryncompton.artsites.ca/
