Suggestions from Kamloops These drawings were completed in and around Kamloops, BC with my collaborative partner, Rhonda Neufeld. They were shown at the Kamloops Art Gallery in 2014.

For most traditional visual artists, the process of making art is a solitary affair. So, it is intriguing to see what happens when one artist suggests to another “let’s make art together.”

Take a FIELD TRIP with the Kamloops Art Gallery to Donald Lawrence’s home studio for a glimpse into his process as he works on completing his Paramount Camera Obscura.

In this video, the Kamloops Art Gallery Curator Charo Neville and artist Donald Lawrence walk through Lawrence’s exhibition Casting the Eye Adrift. Take some time to hear firsthand, in-depth information about each of Lawrence’s works included in this retrospective. This video was filmed and edited by Jonathan Fulton. [Video Description: Charo Neville and Donald Lawrence move through the Central Gallery discussing many works on the walls and installations. Lawrence describes each artwork as he and Neville both stand in front of or around the works.] Follow the Kamloops Art Gallery.

Daphne Odjig is a Canadian First Nations artist, speaking about her wide range of work and her history as an artist. Curator Bonnie Devine speaks about the importance of the artist, her work and the exhibition.

Daphne Odjig is an internationally recognized Canadian First Nations artist providing prints, collectibles, images, fashion, glass and copyright approval for her works. Daphne has received the Order of Canada, is a Governor General’s Laureate and has been featured at the Museum of Civilization.

Decades later, though entirely self-taught, Odjig received two of Canada’s highest civilian honours – the Governor General’s award in Visual Art and the Order of Canada.

Gary Pearson's current exhibition "The Journal: Selected Works" is on display at Gallery Jones until April 3, 2021. Gary is Canadian painter from the Okanagan and this is his first solo exhibition with Gallery Jones.

Join featured artist Gary Pearson, whose work is presented in our current exhibition "A Year from Now", for an in-depth talk about his past and current bodies of work. Viewers will get the chance to peek behind-the-scenes as Pearson gives a brief tour of his Okanagan studio space as well as some current works in progress. Pearson works largely in painting and drawing, with a strong graphic sensibility and a stark, spare, linear style. He explores urban spaces and the everyday through a purposefully crude and repetitive style, drawing subjects and themes primarily from things seen and experienced while travelling.

Based in the Okanagan, Gary Pearson has been exhibiting internationally since 1983. His paintings feature a cast of characters and scenes from urban life, including parks, cafes, bars and hotel lobbies. Using subdued colours that evoke an atmosphere of melancholic nostalgia, his portrayal of the eve
