Art Encounter: Gail Sibley, Gallery Goers and Other Figurative Paintings

November 10 - 21, Artist in Gallery on Saturday November 14 from 11am to 4pmand 21

Gail Sibley creates vibrant pastel and acrylic works of art. Her paintings often suggest a deeper meaning in everyday experience. This can be seen in her current theme of Gallery Goers where she explores the relationship between art and the viewer. Along with other work for this exhibition, we are delighted to showcase this new series.

Gail was born to artistic parents and brought up in Kingston, Jamaica. Her colourful palette reveals this tropical upbringing. Gail completed a BFA (Honours) at the University of Manitoba, then went on to Graduate Studies in Art History at Queen’s University receiving her MA in 1989. She settled in BC in 1994. In 2002, Gail was awarded Signature Membership in the Pastel Society of America (PSA) and in 2018 she achieved Master Pastellist status with PastelArtistsCanada. Her paintings hang in homes and businesses in many countries.

Gail will be in the Peninsula Gallery on Saturday November 14^th and 21^st to demonstrate her technique and chat with gallery visitors.
