On October 6th, 4 Peace Country artists will take over Laurels Packinghouse for a 4-hour pop-up exhibition. Carmen Haakstad, Jim Stokes, Debbie Courvoisier, and Carrie Klukas are set to showcase their recent works and introduce themselves to the beautiful Okanagan region.

Stokes and Haakstad draw their inspiration from the north western vistas they grew up with. Their styles are significantly different yet they are synonymous with their love of the land.

Courvoisier, a clay artist, whose sculptures are often combined with found objects are a contrast of manufactured and hand built artworks, creating an exciting narrative.

Klukas rounds out the 4 as the only abstract expressionist. Her current works utilize patina on metal leaf applied to the acrylic paintings. The leaf shown dissolving away is to represent the armour we protect ourselves with. These are vibrant and visceral organic works that reflect our inner landscapes.

The event is free to the public. All artists will be in attendance. 4 will be donating 10% of all proceeds to The Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA), where our vision is creating a community where no one has to die or grieve alone.
