An artist’s life by the Fraser River is the inspiration for the next exhibition at Plaskett Gallery.
Going with the Flow, featuring works by Susie Gilmour, is on at the gallery at Massey Theatre from April 1 to 30.
Gilmour, a native of Scotland, now lives in a float home on the Fraser.
“Not a day goes by without her thanking the river for its tranquility, inspiration and magical sunsets,” says a press release about the exhibition.
Gilmour, who made her career in theatre arts, has recently renewed her passion for painting and is currently working with fluid art – a form of abstract work using thin acrylics that are poured, rather than brushed, onto a surface.
“What an incredibly unpredictable science,” Gilmour says in the press release. “The experimentational aspect is like stepping into my studio as a mad scientist and trying to herd a flock of seagulls!”
The Plaskett Gallery at Massey Theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 1 to 5 p.m., by appointment, or during performances at the theatre. See www.masseytheatre.com or call 604-517-5900 for information.
