Swimming Through Air
|
Kim's paintings are an exploration of a human experience of 
the natural
world. Each piece starts as an emotional response to a scene or
element. Rather than describing whatever initiated the piece, she tries to
produce an evocation of her own response to it. She hopes to produce in the
viewer the same kind of response as that which we have to a dream that
we can't quite recall, but is affecting us emotionally nonetheless.

Members of the Community Hall & Arts Centre will be in full force again this year to help with marshalling duties at the 3rd Annual Tri-for-CHAC. The fundraising event runs (and kayaks and swims) this weekend. Come cheer your favorite team as local jocks test their mettle. The triathlon will see teams swimming from Pebbly to Sandy Beach, running from Sandy Beach to Killarney Lake and back again and then kayaking approximately 3 km. The event is organized by Mary Letson of Positively Fit, with monies raised going to the Endowment Fund for a CHAC.
