eFive In The Foyer

Five in the Foyer’ features
figures, flowers, forms and
more: it’s a showing of diverse
artworks from five Lower Main-
land artists.

The artists - Gillian Elliot,
Rowena Morrell, Marilyn
Timms, Timothy John White
and Sandra Shaw - will display
their work at Douglas College’s
Theatre Foyer and Library
Foyer galleries in New
Westminster from March 6 to
April 21.

"I hope I can speak for my
colleagues when I say we’re en-
thusiastic about the display,"
says mixed-media artist and
acrylic painter Sandra Shaw.
“For myself, I’m still rushing to
finalize my work and hopefully
allowing for enough ‘drying
time’ before the opening!"

"Five in the Foyer’ is ex-
pected to consist of a diverse
range of painting styles and tech-
niques. Visual artist Gillian

Elliot’s contribution, entitled
"Windows to My Memories’, is
a recent series of watercolours
depicting floral images superim-
posed upon scene-filled
windows.

Rowena Morrell, who teaches
painting to youngsters
throughout the Lower Mainland
and recently curated the Art
Centre Gallery in Queen’s Park,
New Westminster, will display a
series of watercolours showing
the rhythm of shapes and tones
in landscapes. “They’re very ex-
perimental works," she says.
"They’re efforts on my part to
portray the dynamism of natural
forms, not the mood of a time
and place."

Marilyn Timms’ display will
be figure studies and portraits
rendered in watercolour and ink.
"I work mainly on location and
draw quickly to allow for rapid
light and weather changes," says
Timms. "Sometimes I

can help finance a
student's education!

photograph the scene and com-
plete it in my studio - that, along
with the drawing and my colour
memory, allows me to produce a
colourful painting with natural-
looking light."

The renowned ’documentary
painter’, T.J. White, will exhibit
a retrospective of his past suc-
cesses, including ’Salmon’,
Coca-Cola’, ’Lady in Blue’,
and figure and landscape
studies. This British-born, Bur-
naby-based artist records boats
and places in B.C. that are fast
disappearing. His recent fascina-
tion with corner stores is a
testimony to his historical sense
of art.

Finally, Sandra Shaw’s ex-
hibit will be three mixed-media
collages - maybe.

"I’m still deep in work - so
I’m aiming for three," she says.
"The trouble with me is I have
an imagination that runs on and
on." What is the nature of these
collages? Shaw prefers to keep
this a surprise. "Let’s say
they’re based on the theme ’if
only walls could talk’ and were
inspired by my recent work in
an old house," she says. "They
will be entitled "The Summer-
ville Series’ and will reflect in
part my concern with bygone
eras and family traditions."

A reception for the five artists
will be held on April 5 from
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Theatre
Foyer Gallery. For more infor-
mation please contact Helen
