Sept 6 - Sept 25
Opening Reception: Friday Sept 6, 5-7pm

We are excited to present a show of Diana Dean’s artwork at our gallery for the second year in a row.  What an honour!

Diana Dean, RCA, has been exhibiting in Canada since 1976 in both public and commercial galleries.  Her work is held in private and corporate collections across North America and the U.K..

“Diana Dean, Then and Now” showcases a lineage of Dean’s paintings from earlier works to the many she has created in 2024.  We bear witness to the breathtaking thematic and stylistic development of the artist’s vision and craft, with each stage resonating as deeply today as it did in yesteryear.  There is a sense of the eternal, where landscape, portraiture, and allegory are intertwined in a rainbow of love and reverence.  

“We are part of the landscape,” Dean recently said.  “After 50 years of work, I see that painting is becoming an expression of love.  In my painting, I am interested in connection between geometry in nature, in physics and light and the wish to project with paint, the human quality that is present in all of us.”
