flora

The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present the solo exhibition “flora” featuring the work of Alberta artist Wenda Salomons.

The exhibition runs February 1-28, 2025, at the Calgary Central Library, 800 3 St. SE, Calgary, Alberta. There will be an artist’s talk on Sunday, February 2 at 1 pm. 

“flora” is a collection of 18-24 digital pinhole photographs that explore and celebrate the abstraction, spirit, and movement of local plants and trees. In addition to the pinhole process, intentional camera movement is employed in the capture of these images. This pairing results in photographs that are gestural, dynamic, and mysterious. 

For more information:

The Alberta Society of Artists is the oldest society of juried professional artists in the province, providing art education and exhibitions in public venues since 1931. The Society’s goal is to increase public awareness and appreciation of the visual arts in Alberta.
