Celebrating Vancouver Island
Margery Blom
Pearl Ellis Gallery Aug 28, 2018 – Sep 15, 2018
The Pearl Ellis Art Gallery is pleased to feature a solo exhibition by local artist Margery Blom, FCA from August 28 to September 15. Portraying the incredible beauty of Vancouver Island, this dynamic collection will take viewers on a journey from the majestic mountains, through the enchantment of the forests, the hidden inland waters, the secrets of the flora, to the serenity of the sea.
Margery is inspired by the magic of nature and paints to recreate what she sees with brilliant light and vivid, bold, bright colour. She chooses to create with oil paint because of its richness, vibrancy and flexibility.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 1, 1:00-3:00 pm. Musical entertainment will be provided by Margery’s sister, Rita Blom, performing on an instrument called the Chapman Stick.
