Moments in Time
by Lillian D. Goertzen Phillips
Like a
photographer looking through the lens of a camera, Lillian D. Goertzen Phillips
captures moments. For her the moments are captured through brush strokes in
acrylics. Lillian speaks of the experience of creating her works, “When I lose
myself in a painting I find peace. The act of moving the paint on the canvas is
like meditation, soothing and serene.”
A
self-taught artist currently residing in Nanaimo BC, Lillian was drawn from and
early age to artistic endeavours. She was inspired by a great teacher and by her
grandfather who was an artist, and her uncle who ran his own gallery in
Denmark. Now with the birth of her granddaughter, Lily, she has found another
muse.
Lillian is
moved by the incredible wonders, both here on Vancouver Island and around the
world. “When I feel the paint under the brush as I capture the likeness of a
vista of mountains and lakes, whether in winter chill or summer splendour, it
brings me such peace and solitude.”
The works
in this exhibit reflect ‘Moments in Time’. They bring to life a passion filled
force and an urgent need to paint.
Come and
meet the artist at the opening reception on Friday evening from 7pm to 9pm,
September 16th or drop by the gallery during Mall hours. The work is
on display from now until the end of the month.
The gallery is located in Nanaimo North Town Centre at #259 - 4750 Rutherford Road. For more information please call 250-729-3947. You can also visit the Nanaimo Arts Council website HERE.
