*Esquimalt Artist Darlene Gait Featured on The New Canoe*
A-Channel August 16 and 23
ESQUIMALT, BC August 15, 2008—Coast Salish artist Darlene Gait is
featured in an interview on The New Canoe program airing on A-Channel
this Saturday, August 16 at 7 pm to repeat on Saturday, August 23 at 1
pm. Watch for episode #711 on A-Channel and later on APTN for this visit
with Darlene on location in her One Moon Gallery on the Esquimalt
Reserve off Admirals Road, Victoria, BC.
Host of The New Canoe series, Barbara Hager, talks with Darlene in One
Moon Gallery, surrounded by the vibrant colors and powerful designs of
her paintings. Her work is displayed on cedar paneling that lines the
gallery and showcases the brilliant array of Darlene’s acrylic
paintings, giclée prints, and art cards.
Darlene's work is often inspired by vivid dreams. Her inspirations
emerge from a belief in the oneness of humanity and the beauty of its
diversity. Her paintings illustrate an interdependence between her
culture and the environment by skillfully incorporating Coast Salish
elements with a uniquely personal touch. Darlene says that she feels
bound by a responsibility to depict her images with scientific and
historical accuracy and considers her art to be part of the oral history
of her culture. The paintings demonstrate a deep connection to wildlife
and evoke the influence of other Canadian artists. “I was inspired by
Robert Bateman's love of nature and Roy Vickers' bravery of painting
outside the traditional boundaries. I also loved Emily Carr's work. Her
colours are so rich.”
Darlene Gait has received many awards including The Book Illustrator of
the Year Award, Verse and Vision Peoples Choice Award, and The
Aboriginal Achievement Foundation Award. Darlene has completed many
commissions as a book illustrator of Native stories for children,
including the best seller The Secret of the Dance written by Andrea
Spalding and Judge Alfred Scow, which takes readers back to a time when
the Potlatch was banned in Canada.
Her exhibitions have received wide press and television coverage. She
recently participated in the Cultural Village at the North American
Indigenous Games. Darlene is an active member of the Art for Development
Foundation as well as Partners for Prosperity and supports many
non-profit organizations through volunteering and through her donations
of art prints. Darlene Gait lives on Vancouver Island with her family.
