Vancouver Island based painter Anne Griffiths releases her first book, Mapping Nature, with a book-signing at her solo exhibition opening reception in Vancouver on June 6.

Conceptual artist Janna Watson daubs pastel swirls onto canvas to create dreamlike paintings that evoke an ethereal realm. While her works can transport viewers into a different world, Watson derives much of her inspiration from what she sees directly outside the window of her sparse, light-filled studio in the wilderness of Grey County.
