ARTIST of the MONTH at NACC!

4/6/2017

I have been really busy painting in preparation for my show at the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre for the month of April. Ian and I hung the show yesterday...no photos taken! I have to say I am pretty pleased with how it looks. I tried to leave space for the viewer to really get to look without being overwhelmed. There are some older pieces and there are 10 brand new pieces both in watercolour and acrylic.

I continue to explore beautiful flowers and the new, never before seen acrylics are of birds! :)

Shawna Lampi-Legaree

Yellowknife watercolour and acrylic artist Shawna Lampi-Legaree’s latest venture can best be summarized as capturing moments of beauty from the world around her.

Her exploration of ephemeral flowers in watercolour has been a glorious journey of seeking out and capturing the delicate and luminous quality of the blossom. Simply put, she has been “painting summer sunshine all winter long”. Her technique includes multi-layer washes which build to a crescendo on the paintings that capture the drama of sunlight and the depth of shadows.

More recently, Shawna’s acrylic painting has expanded to include the wealth of the feathered friends that all northerners love. She has enjoyed the wonderful winter antics of trickster ravens, playful ptarmigan and mischievous LBT’s (little brown things). As the spring migration begins Shawna hopes to begin capturing the beauty of our transient flyers. Watch for some interesting images capture flight, reflection in water and the simply beauty of our northern landscape
