Artist in attendance
April Ponsford takes inspiration from the nature around her home on Vancouver Island. Whether it’s depicting the crashing of waves on a beach to clouds swirling on a stormy day, she has an innate ability to translate her experiences of nature onto canvas. Ponsford’s paintings, much like the natural world, are full of hidden spaces that reveal themselves upon deeper observation.
Madrona Gallery respectfully acknowledges the Lekwungen peoples, on whose traditional lands the gallery stands.
