My wife, Jennifer, and I have committed ourselves to the stewardship and ongoing growth of the West End Gallery.

"My biggest quest is to capture the unseen: ultimately allowing the spectator to experience and sense the air, the light, the smells, and the sounds of a stream gurgling in the spring, the cry of the cicada or the background noise made by tires on a rainy day downtown."

Without a budget and funding, simply for the love of art, these two artists wanted to express a familiar feeling: The desire to be an artist.

Mary Ann Laing's much anticipated solo exhibition of beloved local landscapes opens Saturday, November 19 in Victoria!

He takes it all in from the perspective of a passerby. Compositions are caught on the run. Momentary scenes of which the recollection contains only the essential.

It is a free-style, remembering a place in how it once was or should be, in one's mind with a hint of mischief.

An exciting new collection of paintings and sculpture is on display in Victoria!

Our incredible Canadian landscape, famous for its rich, diverse terrain and radically shifting colour and mood, continues to be a muse and inspiration for artists. The challenge is the same as it was a century ago. - to capture its unique beauty and charm with an original voice.

Landscape painter Rod Charlesworth recalls, as a young boy in Terrace, BC being "compelled to draw." By age seven, his family moved to Kelowna, and he was happily sketching all the time; at twelve, he was painting.
