May 19-31, Open daily (except Mondays) from 12:30- 4:30
In March of this year Peer Gallery lost our founder, colleague, dear friend and one of Canada’s finest artists. This exhibition looks back on Susan’s career from her beginnings as a designer and illustrator, through her masterful etchings and drawings during her tenure as Director and Chair of the Department of Design Art, Faculty of Fine Arts at Concordia University to her colourful paintings produced mostly during her time in Nova Scotia.
Infused with story and symbolism, her many layered art reflects an exploration of the parallel worlds of reality, fantasy and dream. This special exhibition is an ode to the amazing gifts Susan has left the world. Take some time to immerse yourself in the magic of this wondrous work.
Share your stories about Susan in the guest book. We will send the book on to her family. Many of the works on exhibit will be available for purchase.
A celebration of Susan’s life will be held on May 23rd at the Lunenburg School of the Arts. If you are interested in attending this celebration the family has asked that you contact Mike Hudson susanmemorial@hudsonathome.com for more information.
Peer Gallery is a professional artists’ co-operative gallery, formed in 2001. The gallery, located in the very heart of this beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site, emphasizes a wide diversity in contemporary art viewing. Abstract and representational themes in painting, drawing, mixed media, ceramics and original prints are some of the forms of artistic expression shown.
All-member exhibitions change monthly from April through December. In the spring and fall the front gallery hosts feature shows of individual members on a rotating basis.
In 2013 Peer Gallery was honoured by the Province of Nova Scotia for its cultural importance to Lunenburg County.
