Meet the Author & Artist
Saturday, February 10, 11:30am -1:30pm
Join us as we welcome author and artist Carol E. Cowan for a book signing of her new book, Canadian Western Landscapes: Through the Years. Inspired by her first publication of paintings, which generated a great deal of interest, this second edition Canada Western Landscapes is a wonderful collection of her work in water colour, mulit-media oils, and acrylics. With an artistic brilliance captured in resplendent and harmonious hues, and distinctive design elements, this book offers a privileged viewing of the Cowan art gallery that cannot help but stimulate one's artistic imagination. Delight in Carol's work as she is also our featured artist in this month's art gallery where her pieces are available for sale.
