VIEWS FROM MY COMOX VALLEY: Artist Bev Byerley (Courtenay BC)
Acrylic paintings on canvas
June 3rd - June 29th, 2011
For Bev Byerley the landscape is a tapestry of rich colours, textures and patterns. Most of the paintings in this series are scenes from the same path she walks each day, but subtle changes in light, weather, and seasons constantly shape and re-shape the familiar into fresh new imagery.
Born in Gimli, Manitoba, painter, printmaker Bev Byerley became a resident of the Comox Valley in 1965. After graduating from high school in 1977, Bev furthered her studies in an oil painting course at the Banff School of Fine Arts in Alberta. With plans to be an illustrator, Bev was accepted into the commercial arts program at Capilano College in North Vancouver and upon completion of this course, worked for a graphic artist in downtown Vancouver. Bev is best known in the Comox Valley for her acrylic landscapes of the west coast and of Newfoundland.
