The Vernon Public Art Gallery is pleased to host an artist talk by Amy J. Dyck on Saturday, April 18, from 1–2 PM. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from the artist about her practice and the ideas behind Portals to Elsewhere.

Amy J. Dyck is a contemporary multimedia figurative artist and writer based in Langley, British Columbia. After a sudden and severe illness in her early twenties left her using a wheelchair, Dyck turned to art as a way to process and survive her changing reality. Her practice draws on classical approaches to anatomy and figurative painting, combined with experimental mixed media processes that explore the body as a vessel for memory, emotion, and lived experience. Dyck exhibits widely, with work held in private collections internationally. She has received multiple international awards, was granted a Canada Council for the Arts award in 2024, and is a frequent podcast guest and speaker. She is currently working on a memoir exploring the intersection of art, illness, and resilience.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the work of award-winning Canadian artist Amy J. Dyck and experience Portals to Elsewhere at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Entry is by donation.
