About the Exhibition:                     

Celebrate the space and place of 10 women artists and their unique perspectives shown through a variety of artistic mediums. Having been shaped by - and in reflection of - their own stages in which they find themselves, these artists collectively bring 494 years of life experience and offer a rich tapestry of work that spans generations through a diverse use of media and ways of working including painting, drawing and mixed media, ceramics and sculpture. This exhibit highlights the strength of experience that each life stage brings while providing opportunity for community and connection through collected reflections.

About the Artist:

Celebrate over seventy years of inspiration though this selection of paintings by Leona Malcolm.  Chosen from hundreds of acrylic paintings, the works depict people, animals, and the natural world. In her career Leona has created over 700 paintings. Her works are a thoughtful record of her family and places that have made an impression on her life.

A longtime resident of Red Deer, Leona grew up in Central Alberta and lived in other parts of the province. Her paintings often reflect her upbringing on a farm near Innisfail, and are inspired by Red Deer’s creeks, river, and nature.

Though she studied art and the work of other artists and educators, Leona Malcolm developed her own painting style.  She sometimes uses her acrylic paint in a watercolour style, adding water to produce washes of colour.  She sometimes uses waterproof sepia ink as part of her painting technique. Her work is consistently thoughtful, complex and unique.
