Kara Barkved is a Vernon British Columbia based international selling
artist, born in Montreal but has lived in BC since 1969. Kara has a BFA
(1983) and an MA (1991),from the University of Victoria. She has studied
art, art therapy and psychology, and has been involved in the arts and
visual arts all of her life. Kara is a versatile artist working in
different mediums, including but not limited to acrylic, oil/cold wax mixed
media and watercolour and whose main interest is in Intuitive Abstract Art.
Her paintings evolve out of spontaneous marks that mingle with her
imagination and the influence from the world around her, especially nature,
with flowing line and organic shapes.

Kara teaches locally and her current work is available in local galleries,
Vernon Public Art Gallery, Nadine’s Fine Arts and online at Saatchi,
Instagram @karabarkved and her website, www.kara-barkved.strikingly.com.
Each year she contributes a painting to both Splash of Red and Midsummer
Eve of the Arts. She has taught classes to private individuals as well as
groups locally at Leap and Opus.

*“I love to paint. I love line. I love colour. I love abstract art. I love
the fact the the world is not as it seems, that invisible things at work
define our world and move throughout our universe. I am inspired by nature
and by my garden, from which imagery seeps into my work abstractly and
intuitively and through spontaneous marks come into the 2 dimensional world
and onto my canvas.”          Kara Barkved*

*PROSE with John Lent*

* OCTOBER 16 to DECEMBER 4 Tuesday Evenings, 6:00 to 9:00pm, Caetani
Library*

Popular instructor John Lent presents two Master Classes in Prose and
Poetry at the Caetani Cultural Centre! Masterclasses are 8 weeks in
duration, with one three hour session per week *plus additional one-on-one
time* with noted author John Lent.

For more established writers, published author and well-known instructor,
John Lent, recently retired from Okanagan College, is offering two Master
classes in both prose and poetry. Classes will be a mixture of discussions
about contemporary composition in prose, demonstrations concerning both
writing and editing and finding the right shapes for fiction or memoir or
non-fiction, and critiquing sessions that will focus on class members’ work.

These inspiring, challenging and thought-provoking classes are for more
established writers who already have a manuscript in progress, and will
include one-on-one sessions.

*“Because I am helplessly addicted to reading contemporary literature, my
hope is that every member of this class will be refining skills that are
current, professional and aimed at seeking an audience,” said John Lent.*

*“This is the ideal class for writers who are working away on their own and
could use the support of a focused and professional community of writers,
especially if they are in the middle of a manuscript. I am just re-engaging
on the writing of a large novel myself called, tentatively,* *The Kitchen
Sessions**, and because of that, teaching this class will be timely for me
as it will force me to articulate the kinds of compositions I am
re-engaging in.*”

For more information or to register for classes or workshops on-line,
please visit the Caetani Centre website www.caetani.org, or call the
Caetani office 250-275-1525.
