Majestic Mountain Landscapes<br />

New landscape paintings<br />

are on display at the <strong>Nelson</strong><br />

Public Library by <strong>Nelson</strong><br />

artist Abby Wilson. Her<br />

feature piece “Valhalla Traverse’’<br />

is a triptych (three<br />

connecting panels) that<br />

links popular hiking trails<br />

from Valhalla Provincial<br />

Park into a panoramic<br />

scene. It practically glows off the walls with sunset infused light.<br />

Other paintings capture the Kootenay and Rocky mountains<br />

with stylized lines and inventive colours. Abby is the author<br />

of the much anticipated, forthcoming West Kootenay Hiking<br />

guidebook and her work is heavily inspired by local hiking<br />

trails and viewpoints.<br />

Abby Wilson paints her love of these mountains into bright,<br />

bold acrylic landscapes, exploring how geometry aligns with<br />

natural geology. Abby spends the summers hiking, bringing<br />

her sketchbook with her before eventually moving to the studio.<br />

When asked about her inspiration, she says, “I work to<br />

develop paintings that focus on the majesty of the mountain<br />

landscapes. I use colour and shape to push the structure of the<br />

mountain towards the surreal, striving to capture the feelings<br />

of otherworldly bliss and awe that comes with exploring these<br />

wild places.” Abby’s work is held in private collections in Canada,<br />

the US, and Europe. She sells her artwork over her website<br />

and the original works displayed in the library are also for sale.<br />

The exhibition continues until the end of April.<br />

We have two lovely hamsters ! Meet Ava & Rufus!<br />

Ava is an adorable syrian Hamster 5 months old. A little shy but will<br />

adjust to a kind loving home. Rufus is a handsome 1 year old male,<br />

He loves to eat and play in his habitat. These cuties would make a<br />

great addition to a family with caring gentle kids.<br />

Please note that a male and female hamster can not be housed<br />

together, we unfortunately do not spay or neuter such small<br />

creatures.<br />
