Collage Exhibit: A Wandering Mind or Memory Echoes Submitted by Lezah

Swank Home


Karen Kroeker is a talented multi-media collage artist who is staging her first solo exhibit, having participated in a number of successful group shows recently.

Of special interest is a series of collages (14 in all) based on the same theme, that of a single female image found in an old fashion magazine. In addition, there are a number of other single pieces in the show.

Kroeker works in paper, fabric, paint, ink, oil and chalk pastel. About her work, she says "the images tell stories if you look at them carefully, and take some time to connect what you are looking at." She has been a full time secondary art teacher in Surrey for 29 years.

The exhibit is running August 5-27 at the White Rock Community Arts Council Gallery, which is located at 15232 Russell Avenue, White Rock.
