Collecting is the title of Emilie Nunez’s blue, pink and black piece, one of 25 paintings the Maple Ridge resident will display in her first solo show, which opens July 18 in the Canadian Pacific Gallery at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. Johns St.).
A 2017 visual arts graduate from UBC and the gallery assistant at the ACT Art Gallery, Nunez is one of two recipients of this year’s Kwi Am Choi scholarship, an award dedicated in memory of the late Port Moody artist that carries a $2,000 award for an emerging B.C. artist between the ages of 18 and 30.
Nunez’s acrylic, ink and watercolour series, Inhabit, is about our connection with land; it also includes a painted tent and cloak installation, Keep.
