Nature inspired art exhibit featured this month at Peace Gallery North

People arrived to Peace Gallery North Friday evening to attend the opening of their newest exhibit ‘Natural Resources’, which features driftwood, fabric art, photography, and paint created by two local artists.

‘Natural Resources’ is a two-person show by North Peace artists Miep Burgerjon and Ken Lane. This exhibit was inspired by the beauty that surrounds us in the Peace Region, and the collection features an array of mediums including driftwood art, wood carving, fabric art, photography and paintings.

“I really enjoyed coming through and seeing all the different pieces,” one attendee said. “It’s nice to see local artists drawing inspiration from the area we live in.”

From the incredible moments that were captured through Miep’s photography, to the way Ken is able to transport a viewer through time and space with brush strokes on a canvas, this exhibit captures the Peace Region in all its glory.

Peace Gallery North is tucked away inside the North Peace Cultural Centre, and ‘Natural Resources’ will be available to view at no cost until Feb. 28, Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
