Calgary artists Emily Beaudoin and Jackie Ramsay will open their art exhibition, Kin & Glow, on April 30, 2026 at the Crescent Heights Community Association, 1101 2 St NW, Calgary.

The show brings together two generations of artists connected by family, mentorship, and a shared love of paint. Beaudoin's new body of work features wildlife on birch panel, rendered in black acrylic paint pen against impressionistic spray painted backgrounds. Ramsay brings contemporary florals and landscapes in acrylic, loose and instinctive and full of feeling.
