Painting Workshop: Visual Storytelling: October 20 & 27

In conjunction with the Rick Rivet exhibition the Kelowna Art Gallery is
pleased to present a two-week residency featuring Kelowna painter Lee
Claremont.

Lee Claremont was born in Woodstock, Ontario.  She is of Mohawk/Irish
ancestry and is a member of the Grand River Iroquois Six Nations in
Oshweken, Ontario. Lee Claremont received her BFA from the University of
British Columbia and is now a respected teacher at the En’owkin Centre in
Penticton. Traditional Mohawk mythology and stories have influenced Lee
Claremont’s paintings. She thinks of herself as a visual storyteller, using
paint, colour, patterns, metaphors and symbols to tell her stories.

Lee Claremont will be painting in the Scotiabank studio Tuesdays through
Fridays, 10am to 5pm. Visitors are welcome to drop by for a discussion.

Painting Workshop
Visual Storytelling
Saturdays, October 20 & 27
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
We all have stories to tell, whether they be conscious or unconscious, from
a fond or bad memory, or from an emotional or spiritual experience. One way
we can tell our stories is through visual images and art. In this two-day
workshop artist Lee Claremont will guide students as they paint their
personal stories.
Members - $125.00 Non members - $140.00 Supplies included
