SESE re oe aoe eat Riek coe Oo reer ttt eatery Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 16, 1990 B13 Poeiry of the sky displayed at Terrace Art Gallery Last weekend, visitors to. the Terrace Art Gallery had the op- portunity to view the opening night of Leslie Barnwell’s ‘Vast Solitude’’. The ‘show will run from May 6 - 26. . ‘“*The sky a voice _ Vast solitude Deep morning in my soul awakens wide © and lovely In my yearning I am whole..”’ When asked which came first, - the poetry or the painting, Leslie Barnwell replied, “‘I really can’t remember. I’ve always had a desire to paint the sky. I have a strong interaction with it. My painting and my poetry are per- sonal and spiritual expressions of this.” Barnwell says it was a real struggle to present this par- ticular exhibit because it is so personal, but it was time and she really felt the desire to share it. The main exhibit is a collection of clouds — all full of light seemingly buried within the clouds, illustrating different moods and ‘times of day. Each of the works is titled. Examples include ‘‘It is then in that wild - instant, voice of sky meets voice within’, ‘down of life I new begin’’, and “‘sight and vision meld in trueness’’. All but three of the ‘cloud’ paintings were done since Christmas ’89. The exhibit includes several works from previous exhibits as well. They include water colors and water color collages. Barnwell says “I’ve always painted, but not seriously.” Eight years ago, when her se- cond daughter was one year old, she decided it was time to get serious about her painting. Leslie Barnwell says she doesn’t work out of the house and she doesn’t work in it. Just in her studio. In addition to her painting, Barnwell, an elementary school teacher, teaches her two daughters at home. Home teaching fits in well with the family’s rural life in the Kispiox: Valley. And it gives Leslie a chance to teach art to her two girls and their friends. Leslie Barnwell considers the whole Yellowhead ‘‘home’’ Each year, she likes to do at least one show ‘‘at home’’ and one outside the region. This week, she will have a series of line drawings on display at the Ex- hibition Centre in Hazelton, running concurrently with her “Vast Solitude’? show at the Terrace Art Gallery. This sum- mer, from mid-August until mid-September she will have an exhibit called ‘‘Three Edges’’ at the MacPherson Playhouse in Victoria. ‘Three Edges’’ originated because the layout of the Mac- Pherson includes three main areas divided by three walls. From three thematic shows previously exhibited, Leslie will display excerpts: one on each wall, Leslie Barnwell — a talented and spiritual painter. For a few moments of peace and calm in your busy day, visit the Terrace Art Gallery. Terrace Art Association member Barry English goes over some of the fine technical detail in one of Leslie Barnwell’s cloudscapes with the artist after the exhibit is set up in the art gallery. Barnwell says of her obsession with the sky, “My paintings and poetry are ‘personal and spiritual expressions of this,” Committees struck fer “I believe ‘it’ is going to hap- pen, Either by the summer of 1991 or 1992 at the latest, there will be a Summer School of the Arts in Terrace — if the spirited enthusiasms of its supporters is used to fuel action. I am excited by the inspiration that the initial board of directors have ex- hibited, They are pulled in many other directions, but they believe in the cause so ardently that they still found a piece of themselves to share.” Brian Koven, board president, Terrace Summer School of the Arts. The newly-formed board of the Summer School of the Arts has its executive — president Brian Koven, vice president Carla Glen, recording secretary Marilyn Kerr, corresponding secretary Elaine Maikapar, and treasurer Tom Walker. Commit- tees have been formed to address the matters of public relations, Dance Revue summer Arts school facilities/transportation/accom- modation, fundraising, pro- gramming, marketing. | In the months to come, the various committees will be meeting to explore ‘‘possible avenues of travel’’. One of the many decisions to be made will be which disciplines are to be represented at the first Summer School of the Arts. The board needs people with many areas of interest and expert- ise in order to make good choices. Says Koven, ‘“With a broad base of patronage, and with every tentacle doing its own ‘reaching out’, then — yes — ‘it’ will hap- pen,”’ The next meeting of the board will be on June 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Quarterdeck Restaurant. Board meetings are open to anyone who is in- terested. They will generally take place on the first Tuesday of each month, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., in the lobby of the R.E.M.
