What's Showing at the District Library Gallery

Drop by the second floor of the Lynn Valley Main Library to check out the District Library Gallery, presented by the North Vancouver Community Arts Council.

Currently showing: Anne Gudrun
From a young age Anne Gudrun has intuitively observed how lines, colours and shapes define the essence and personality of things. As an artist she explores her subject from her own unique vision of the world, and her paintings are interpretations and expressions of what she sees and experiences.
Whether creating the figurative representation of a person or the abstraction of a flower, she explores the interactions between the shapes and colours on canvas; each colour and shape becoming its own character and contributing to the work as a whole. Her paintings reflect the beauty of nature with bold vibrancy and an innate sense of design.
Born in Toronto, raised in North Vancouver, Anne Gudrun attended Art College in Norway and her work is in private collections in both Norway and Canada.
