Joe Coffey’s talent as an observer of life in all its forms enables him to capture moments of humour, metaphor, and mystery. His animal characters leap out of the bounds of illustration in playfully theatrical contrasts. Technically dazzling and full of surprises, Coffey’s paintings upend the natural world to remind us of what makes us truly human.

Artist in Attendance
Bowen Island based artist Susannah Montague creates sculptures that push the boundaries of ceramics as a medium. Juxtaposing the beautiful and macabre, she uses historical references and contemporary life to create vessels for her narratives. Montague draws upon current socio-political events, feminism, and her own personal experiences while demonstrating an exceptional understanding of technique and the history of ceramics.
Madrona Gallery respectfully acknowledges the Lekwungen peoples, on whose traditional lands the gallery stands.
