North of Ordinary is the name of Enda Bardell’s art collection now on display in The Outlet in Port Coquitlam.
Her watercolour paintings, which includes the piece at left (called Faraway Peaks, Dezadeash, Yukon), take the viewer on a wilderness ride through the Yukon, where she was on a solo artist residency at Ted Harrison Cabin on Crag Lake.
A native of Estonia, Bardell trained at the Vancouver Art School — now Emily Carr University of Art + Design — and completed studio courses and workshops with such prominent artists as Toni Onley and Joan Balzar.
Bardell is a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists as well as a signature member with the Society of Canadian Artists and the North West Watercolor Society.
