Born in Victoria in 1916, Pavelic was mentored by Emily Carr, who discovered the young girl’s talent at six years old, and arranged a show of her work when she was 15. In the ‘40s she lived and painted in New York where she was part of the art scene, before returning to the Saanich Peninsula. Renowned for her portraits, she painted the likes of Yehudi Menuhin, Glenn Gould, Pierre Trudeau (his official portrait), and Katharine Hepburn.

Each image has its own individual personality. For some the journey is easy and calm, for others it is a difficult and tumultuous experience. The artist never knows the image before he begins a new work and just follows the painting as it evolves before him on the canvas. 2170 Oak Bay Ave, 250-590-8095, www.eclecticgallery.ca. UNTITLED, RICHARD RAXLEN January 13-February 25 RICHARD RAXLEN Open Space This co-presentation with MediaNet, entitled “introspective!*√º"ç¥å!, ” looks at the diverse work created by this local filmmaker, animator and visual artist who has long been a Victoria staple. Watch for images of Mutt & Jeff, historical footage and well-known literary figures in his work. His work is idiosyncratic, aesthetically rich, unabashedly hand-crafted, and borderless. He has produced scores of experimental films, including some award-winning ones. In conjunction with the exhibition, Open Space will publish a book with essays by Peter Sandmark and Marilyn Brakhage.
