Hello Fellow Art Lovers and Parishioners:
We are happy to announce The Joy of Sketching Exhibit by Nancy Wigen. Nancy is a long time parishioner and also member of the Salt Spring Island Painters Guild, participating in weekly en plein air outings with the Sketch Club.
Born on Salt Spring Island during the Great Depression, and raising 10 children here, she tells an important part of our island history. Nancy has been drawing and painting the better part of her life, and has been witness to many events and changes here. She is truly a great inspiration to all of us in the sketch group, with her loose and lively watercolour sketches. At the age of 92, Nancy is fully engaged in community life.
Despite mobility issues and tremors in her hand, she carries on, practicing the art she loves, proving that age need not define us, nor confine us to a rocking chair.
When: Saturday, September 26, from 2 till 5 pm
Where: Upper Hall at All Saints by the Sea Anglican Church 110 Park Drive
Nancy will be raffling off a couple of pieces of art at the event to raise money for Hope for Healing, a charity with a focus on preventing blindness. Please join us in celebrating Nancy and her wonderful paintings and sketches throughout the years.
