Past Events

This exhibition explores and expands upon our notion of Vessels, both physical and subtle.

Seeing More was originally intended as a celebration of a lengthy process of going back into old paintings with new eyes. However, our pandemic intervened, and so did Black Lives Matter ... and a deeper awareness of Indigenous lives as well. I’m grateful to be able to bring these paintings forward again - with a renewed commitment to Seeing More deeply, and Caring More widely.

This show is dedicated to my own dearly loved and held, multi-racial family.

Abstract paintings by Anita Boyd and Marilyn Chapman

VisionOpportunity is an exhibition of abstract paintings created in Kona Hawaii, and in the Okanagan Valley. Location influences the colour palette, and the topic which began as musings about the differences between having a set vision for one’s future, and staying open to opportunity and chance. The paintings, on canvas and wood, range in size from 24x24 to 36x48.

The exhibition, eMERGE - Journey into a LARGER LIFE, will last one week only. All are welcome to the reception on Saturday, September 15, from 3 to 6, at which time the week-long Silent Auction for palliative care at Saanich Peninsula Hospital will close, and winners will be announced.

Anita Boyd explores the intersection of energy, shape and awareness in abstract paintings.

I will be showing four pieces from my GladEye series, acrylic and sumi ink on watercolour paper, mounted on wood cradle panels, 11x14 each.
