LIZ SULLIVAN

'Pilgrimage - Irish Landscapes in the Atlantic'

Artist Reception Thursday March 4th 5-9Pm

Arts on Atlantic Gallery is pleased to introduce you to the recent work of talented Calgary artist Liz Sullivan. Liz has a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a double major in drawing and painting, from the University of Calgary. Liz is active in the local arts scene and is a member of the Alberta Society of Artists and was included in the Triangle Gallery's Artist Home and Studio Tour in 2006. In 2009 she was a participant at the Emma Lake artist  Workshop in Saskatchewan. She works out of her Inglewood studio.

In 2002 she attended the Cill Rialaig International Art Residency in County Kerry, Ireland and completed a series of pastoral landscapes. In 2008 she returned to Cill Rialaig  to search out a unique sacred site on a precarious isolated island in the Atlantic.  Her landscape paintings in this new body of work from that residency, depict her journey to the 7th century monastic complex on Skellig Michael, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996.

Liz will be in the gallery during the exhibition to do a painting demonstration on Saturday March 13th 1-4PM
