We’ll be having a Grandview Garden Club meeting this coming Thursday, June 8th, in person! We will meet at 7:30, at the 55+ Room at Britannia Centre, which is right across from the Info Centre at Brit on your left if you’re walking west from the Drive, before you get to the library.
Note the time is 7:30! (There’s another Brit program in that room until 7:30.)
This month's speaker is Vicky Earle, a natural science, medical, and botanical illustrator. She delights in connecting people to nature through art. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in medical illustration and biocommunications, she moved to Vancouver. She has worked in health care for thirty years. She is now dedicated to sharing natural history stories that take place evry day all around us. Her goal is to help foster curiosity and an affinity for the natural world by encouraging people to follow their own art practice.
Vicky's preferred medium is watercolour on paper, occasionally using metalpoint and mixed media. She has kept sketchbooks throughout her career and began a dedicated sketchbook journal practice in 2014. To see her current projects and artwork, visit her website at drawinnature.com and follow her on Instagram @drawinnature.
She has recently published a new book Exploring Vancouver Naturehoods: An Artist’s Sketchbook Journal and she will bring copies of her book to sell.
Because this will be a face-to-face meeting, we will be allowing $4 drop-ins, so do bring your friends.
As usual, we’ll have tea and cookies and door prizes. Try to remember to bring your own tea cup and a sample of something from your garden that is looking splendid on the day of our meeting.
