Two landscape painters—one from the prairies, one from the coast—bring their distinct visions together at The Prow Gallery in a show that celebrates wide open spaces and rugged shorelines.
Prairies to Ports – paintings by Jacqueline Faye Miller and Peter Ollerhead
The Prow Gallery, Halifax, NS — Saskatchewan artist Jacqueline Faye Miller and Newfoundland and Labrador artist Peter Ollerhead invite you to Prairies to Ports, a new exhibition celebrating the landscapes of Saskatchewan and Newfoundland through distinct yet complementary perspectives. Though separated by thousands of kilometers, both artists share a connection to the Canadian landscape and capture their love of "place" using oil on canvas. Peter’s Newfoundland landscapes are vibrant and expressive, using bold colour and energetic palette-knife work to capture the rugged beauty and wildness of the island. Jacqueline’s Saskatchewan landscapes take a more abstracted approach, using expressive brushwork, impasto, and softer, neutral tones inspired by the Boreal Transition and Central Aspen Parkland regions. As a tribute to Nova Scotia and the place where these two artists come together, both have interpreted the same landscape at Ingonish Beach along the Cabot Trail. The shared subject offers a unique opportunity to see the same place through two distinct artistic perspectives. Meet both artists at the Artist Reception on Thursday, September 17, 6-8pm at The Prow Gallery. All are welcome! .
