Her photographs document the destruction of natural habitats and whole ecosystems. The exhibition titled Wild Times presented at the Vernon Public Art Gallery consist of photographs of landscapes affected by forest fires in Quebec and British Columbia in the 2020 and 2021 summer seasons. The photographs from sites near Las Saint-Jean depict the after effects of the wildfire which changed the ecosystems in the largest forest fire in the province’s history. The images captured in 2021 show the active fires in British Columbia. The oppressive plumes of raising smoke changed the appearance of the landscape and the thick smoke was hardly penetrated by the sun’s rays. The toxic smoke drifted through large areas and the images captured from satellite views exemplified the apocalyptic scale of the burning infernos. \n\n\n\nHayeur’s focus on environmental changes is also a critique of environmental stewardship and management of the forests. Western Canada and the United States have been affected by the climate change and\, specifically\, prolonged droughts contribute negatively to the fragile ecosystems. In her statement she points out that forest companies harvest timber from ecologically diverse ecosystems\, but replant logged areas with monocrop species which inevitably do not contribute to the ecological diversity of healthy forests. She also questions the continuous suppression of forest fires which results in the excessive fuel load on the forest floor. Her works advocate indirectly for prescribed burning\, a practice which reintroduces fire as natural part of a healthy ecosystem. Hayeur’s exhibition Wild Times contains images of cataclysmic active fires and resulting destruction of natural environments. The images of burnt forests invoke the feeling of existential angst which serve as powerful memento mori for all humanity to contemplate. \n\n\n\nIsabelle Hayeur\, Pyrocumulonimbus\, 2021\, inkjet on photo paper mounted on aluminum panel\, 42″ x 41″ / 107 cm x 104 cm URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/isabelle-hayeur-wild-times LOCATION:Vernon Public Art Gallery\, 3228 31st Ave\, Vernon\, British Columbia\, V1T2H3\, Canada CATEGORIES:2025,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Cumulonimbus_Flammagenitus-Copy.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250313T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250313T200000 DTSTAMP:20260412T124535 CREATED:20250224T210624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250318T203753Z UID:10000142-1741888800-1741896000@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Opening Reception: March 13\, 2025 DESCRIPTION:We invite you to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition: Wild Times by Isabelle Hayeur.

Haring was an American artist whose pop art emerged from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s. Launched in 1986\, Pop Shop I was a revolutionary concept that blurred the lines between commercialism and high art. An extension of his work\, the boutique sold prints\, T-shirts and novelty items with Keith’s imagery as well as some of his contemporaries\, like Kenny Scharf and Jean Michel Basquiat. \n\n\n\nBest Buddies remains a testament to Haring’s commitment to accessibility and his belief that art should be for everyone. Aligning with our Mandate to promote and encourage visual arts in the broader community\, Best Buddies exemplifies Haring’s dedication to using art as a medium for social change\, encouraging dialogue\, and breaking down the exclusivity often associated with the art world. \n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased via the Vernon Winter Carnival’s website\, bring your group\, your friends or just yourself and enjoy a relaxing and creative evening URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/pinot-paint CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Pinot-Paint.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250305T170000 DTSTAMP:20260412T124535 CREATED:20241219T234944Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T184450Z UID:10000137-1736503200-1741194000@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Home on Syilx Territory DESCRIPTION:Vernon & District Immigrant & Community Services Society Project\n\n\n\nCommunity GalleryJanuary 10 – March 5\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 9\, from 6-8 PM \n\n\n\nThe focus of the project was to introduce recent newcomers to visitor protocols of engagement with local Syilx First Nation people’s culture and the land itself. The four-day series of workshops were focused on Land Acknowledgement\, Allyship\, traditional Tule mat making and the cultural importance of marshlands. In the final session the participants created a series of collages which will be on display at the gallery. The intent of the final workshop was aimed towards appreciation of culture and building relationship through art.

Using personal narratives Phan’s work collapses the boundary between public and private so that viewers can connect their own lives and experiences to the paintings at an intimate level. \n\n\n\nOnce for A While is a series of oil paintings that explore a Vietnamese family’s awkward attempts at integrating into Canadian life. Using examples from Phan’s own childhood and those of her friends\, Phan’s intention is to capture humorous moments where cultural values have clashed. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nChrystal Phan: Turkey Dinner\, 2021\, oil on canvas\, 48 x 60 in URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/chrystal-phan-once-for-a-while LOCATION:Vernon Public Art Gallery\, 3228 31st Ave\, Vernon\, V1T2H3\, Canada CATEGORIES:2025,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Chrystal-Phan-Turkey-Dinner-2-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Vernon Public Art Gallery":MAILTO:marketing@vernonpublicartgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250305T170000 DTSTAMP:20260412T124535 CREATED:20241219T220414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T184533Z UID:10000135-1736503200-1741194000@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Pictograph Roots DESCRIPTION:David Wilson Sookinakin\n\n\n\nTopham Brown Memorial GalleryJanuary 10 – March 5\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 9\, from 6-8 PM \n\n\n\nOver the years\, David Wilson Sookinakin has developed a signature style of paintings based on the traditional pictographs found on numerous locations throughout Syilx Nation Territory. He uses pictorial elements which often illustrate some of the stories and narratives passed down through oral tradition and storytelling. In addition to the traditional narratives\, Wilson creates narratives which he invents to highlight the context of post-contact experiences of First Nations peoples. Nevertheless\, Wilson’s artforms have been evolving over several decades of his prolific artistic career. \n\n\n\n“My art is ever evolving and is a true representation of my identity as an Interior Salish person.  It is natural evolution of pictographs from their ancient form to a contemporary interpretation using form lines unique to First Nations art.  I am a storyteller through art and words and my message to the Interior Salish people and the world is that we Interior Salish have at least one beautiful and vibrant First Nations art form totally unique and must be shared with the world.” \n\n\n\nDavid Wilson Sookinakin \n\n\n\nDavid Wilson Sookinakin: White Birch Creek – Fish Chief2024\, acrylic on canvas\, 66 x 66 in URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/david-wilson-sookinakin-pictograph-roots LOCATION:Vernon Public Art Gallery\, 3228 31st Ave\, Vernon\, British Columbia\, V1T2H3\, Canada CATEGORIES:2025,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/David-Wilson-White-birch-creek-fish-chief-low-res.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250109T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250109T200000 DTSTAMP:20260412T124535 CREATED:20250102T220643Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250102T222734Z UID:10000134-1736445600-1736452800@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Opening Reception: January 9th\, 2025 DESCRIPTION:We invite you to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibitions: Pictograph Roots by David Wilson Sookinakin\, Once For A While by Chrystal Phan\, and Home On Syilx Territory in collaboration with the Vernon & District Immigrant & Community Services Society and Mariel Belangier.

This showcase offers the public a rare opportunity to view pieces by influential artists with ties to the region\, including Allan Brooks\, Sophie Atkinson\, Janet Holly Middleton\, and Paul Jones\, with additional works by renowned BC artist Joe Plaskett. \n\n\n\nVPAG’s permanent collection consists of over 670 artworks by 154 artists. The earliest piece dates to 1909\, while the latest acquisitions were made as recently as 2022. Each piece contributes to the story of the region’s artistic heritage and evolution. \n\n\n\nFeatured artist Allan Brooks (1869–1946)\, known worldwide as a naturalist and illustrator\, made significant contributions to North American wildlife studies\, especially of Canadian bird species. Brooks\, honored by Canadian Heritage in 2000 as a person of Canadian Historical Importance\, devoted his career to capturing the unique fauna of British Columbia and beyond. \n\n\n\nTrailblazing artist Sophie Atkinson (1876–1972) was among the first women to document the Okanagan landscape in her work. After WWI\, she traveled internationally before settling in Canada\, where she painted commissioned works for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Her art captured the rugged beauty of Western Canada\, establishing a legacy that would inspire future generations. \n\n\n\nJanet Holly Middleton (1922–2018) combined her artistic talent with a passion for education. Her career included teaching positions at the University of Alberta\, Banff School of Fine Arts\, and University of Guelph\, where she influenced countless Canadian artists. Known for her adventurous spirit\, Middleton drew inspiration from her travels\, producing works with scenes from across the globe. \n\n\n\nJoe Plaskett (1918–2014) brought his artistic vision to an international stage\, with works held in collections from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver Island\, including the National Gallery of Canada. Plaskett’s talent was recognized early on by Lawren Harris\, and he was awarded the first Emily Carr Scholarship in 1946. This opportunity took him from San Francisco to New York\, and eventually to Paris\, where he created some of his most celebrated pieces. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition also includes pieces by Paul Jones (1921–2018)\, a Vernon-based artist and writer who served on the VPAG board in the 1990s. Jones’s work integrates sand and acrylic resin to evoke the landscapes of his youth near the Pembina River\, creating textured pieces that speak to both personal memory and place. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Sophie Atkinson\, Oyama\, 1948\, watercolour on paper\, 8 x 12 in\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Paul Jones\, Big Coulee\, 1970\, acrylic and sand on canvas\, 32 x 52 in\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Allan Brooks\, Grosbeak/Waxwing\, 1944\, watercolour on paper\, 7 x 10 in\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Janet Holly Middleton\, Untitled (Kalamalka Lake)\, 1976\, oil on canvas\, 23 x 43 in\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Joe Plaskett\, Untitled (Fraser River)\, 1971\, chalk pastel on canvas\, 18 x 24 in URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/from-the-vault-permanent CATEGORIES:2024,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Joe-Plasket.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20240831T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20240831T153000 DTSTAMP:20260412T124535 CREATED:20240529T184147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240529T184151Z UID:10000117-1725109200-1725118200@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Family Saturday - August DESCRIPTION:August 31st at 1 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFamily Saturdays takes place on the last Saturday of each month with an art project suitable for little kids and big kids alike.

The paint for one. I love to scoop it up\, squeeze it out\, and mix it around\, watch the colours develop\, spread it around\, see what happens\, how the colours and forms look against each other. The brushes for another. I have my favourites. Mostly the ones that hold a lot of paint. The ‘Why paint?’ Because I am compelled to\, I can’t not. The ‘How to paint?’ Now it’s getting really interesting. Because this is what it’s really all about. I try to stay open to new ideas\, to the suggestions of my voice inside\, my outside voice. It is all about trusting the process and being willing to paint authentically\, to be part of something new. \n\n\n\nThe beginnings of my process may start with observing what’s around me. Or it could be a response with something going on internally that I may or may not be aware of. That can be as dramatic as the experience of losing a loved one or simply just wanting to spread some paint around. I’m often moved to paint after I’ve spent time outdoors. Sometimes I start with a plan for a landscape or a concrete image and then I get lost in the paint and process and something completely non-objective emerges. My intuition takes over\, if I let it\, if I trust it\, if I allow myself. \n\n\n\nCreating these works surprise me every time. What you see in them is an expression of an experience\, a record of an experience in time\, something in the past that has passed but truly lives on in the painting. What you see in them is  what you see in them – what is evoked or personally meaningful for you. I hope  that in looking at them\, you will feel something\, see something\, perhaps even experience something that resonates with you.

It finally all came together and I suspect this descent is turning into something more akin to a spiral.   \n\n\n\nIt always seemed to me that classical artists from previous centuries had better props to work with; horses\, armor\, castles and archaic ruins. I needed new models to push ahead and a photo shoot at a jousting event in Osoyoos was perfect to get started. \n\n\n\nWhat drives an artist; is it the fear of death? The love for life and art are interconnected. When you look at centuries old work you sense a window into the past\, a connection\, a message or warning through this time hole called a painting. You see how things were\, the humor\, mood\, fashion\, cruelty of the time. It’s like the artists were reaching out through a one-way portal to the future\, never wanting to let go\, hanging on through their art.  \n\n\n\nTiming is everything and it’s a good time for artists to take cues from the eighteenth century and beyond when art famously rebelled against the status quo.  People are consistent\, history repeats.  Neo-classicism\, the art of the time of the French Revolution\, arguably the most important chapter in the history of modern civilization; the perfect art for a time of upheaval. All these influences; art history\, my own history\, and the current events that are making history.  You throw that in a studio with yours truly and this is what shakes out.
