SUMMARY:Changing Seasons Across the Kootenays
DESCRIPTION:“Changing Seasons Across the Kootenays” A Solo Exhibit by Kimberley Artist Lynne Zentner Now Showing at Art Gallery Kimberley \nWe are proud to present “Changing Seasons Across the Kootenays\,” a serene and heartfelt solo exhibition by local artist Lynne Zentner\, available from May 15 through June 8\, 2025. \nLynne’s collection pays tribute to the beauty and diversity of the four seasons in the Kootenays. Rooted in her deep connection to nature\, each landscape painting is a visual love letter to the forests and mountain views she’s encountered during her many hours of “forest bathing\,” solo camping\, hiking\, and skiing across the region. Her acrylic paintings capture not only the changing colours of the seasons\, but also the mood and atmosphere of being lost in nature. \n“I hope some of the love and beauty I’ve poured into my work will leak through to the viewer\,” says Lynne\, “and maybe even inspire a smile!” \nBorn on the wide-open prairies\, Lynne’s artistic adventure began against a vast natural backdrop and blossomed into a professional career quite literally painting backgrounds bringing animated worlds to life as an artist and colour designer. With over 15 years in the Ottawa animation industry—including work with Funbag\, Lacewood\, and Hinton Animation for productions like Flash Gordon\, Anthony Ant\, and Watership Down—she has mastered a wide range of media and styles. Since changing careers and becoming an English language teacher\, she has embraced landscape painting as her way of sharing her vision of the world. \nWhy should you visit? Because this exhibit is more than beautiful art—it’s a celebration of the wild\, magical place we call home represented in paintings that invite visitors to experience the seasons of the Kootenays through the eyes—and heart—of a passionate local artist. \nEveryone is invited to the opening reception on Thursday\, May 15\, 2025 at 7 pm. Whether you’re a longtime admirer of Lynne’s work or a newcomer\, this is a show that will move you—and perhaps change the way you see the landscape around you. \nWhere: Art Gallery Kimberley\, 167 Deer Park Ave\, Kimberley\, BC.\nWhen: May 15 through June 8\, 2025 | Monday through Wednesday\, by appointment and Thursday through Sunday\, 10 am – 5 pm.
