PAST EVENTS:


“Roberto Luongo - Number 1” by Marilyn S. Mylrea

We are pleased to present a new painting by Marilyn S. Mylrea entitled “Roberto Luongo – Number 1”. Art and sports do not usually unite and often times the world of elite culture and sweaty sports has even collided. Yet, at other times during history, they have become one as in the goalie painting by Ken Danby entitled “At the Crease” and George Bellow’s boxers, as well as the depiction of Wayne Gretzky by Andy Warhol. Ms. Mylrea has chosen the Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo as her subject. This painting was inspired by Roberto Luongo. She states, “I recently became a fan, just like so many Vancouverites when I watched the playoffs. There is a powerful presence inside of Roberto which extends beyond his amazing achievements and skills as a top goalie. Goalies represent all of us deflecting the blows and attacks of life, and great goalies ultimately represent protection and winning. Roberto’s calmness, determination and inner strength is reflected in his attitude and this provides hope for all of us. Heroes are still only people, yet they can represent the very best within all of us.” Ms. Mylrea’s intention for this painting was to create a positive, heroic and soulful painting. There was never any intention for him to look like Jesus, and we hope that any unintended religious symbolism does not offend anyone of any religion. The number one reflects Roberto Luongo’s actual number, and it also symbolizes that we are all number one with the power of God within each of us. And, that we are all blessed!

We wish Roberto Luongo and all of the Vancouver Canucks Great Success!

  • OCTOBER 27TH - NOVEMBER 8ND, 2006 - "PASSING ON THE PASSION".
    Art by Mother and Son.  Margaret Thoma-Noble and Andrew Thoma.

    Welcome to a very unique mother and son art exhibition featuring art by Margaret Thoma-Noble and Andrew Thoma.  Their familial ties of art go back to Margaret’s grandfather, an artist who exhibited at the Scottish Academy in the 1900s.  His son, also a painter, shared long-time associations with fellow Scotsman Charles H. Scott (the founder of the Vancouver School of Art) and Group of Seven member F.H. Varley.  He encouraged his daughter Margaret and later his grandson Andrew, to pursue painting as a career.

    Andrew paints landscapes and abstracts on large canvases that suit his broad strokes and the powerful emotional connection he feels to the natural environments that inspire him.  His friend, renowned artist Gordon Smith, has been a special inspiration to Andrew. Margaret draws her inspiration from memory and imagination, infusing the everyday with color and form in her paintings of flowers, gardens and figures.  She is especially enthusiastic about her figurative work and is donating partial proceeds from the sales of these paintings to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Aids Campaign in Africa.

    In Passing on the Passion, viewers will see new paintings by these two talented West Coast artists: distinctive works that also bear a family resemblance – bloodlines emerging from the lines on the canvas.
     

    Please see below images from this exhibition. Margaret’s are on top and Andrew’s are below:
