Helen Ramsay will show her paintings — for the first time — in the fall show and sale by the Art Focus Artists Association. The Port Coquitlam event opens on Friday night with a reception in The Outlet at Leigh Square Community Arts Village; the exhibit is on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Helen Ramsay has only been painting for three years.

But, this weekend, the Port Coquitlam resident will have 20 images up for sale as part of the 24th annual art show by the Art Focus Artists Association.

Ramsay, who joined the PoCo group in March to share ideas with fellow artists, will have her oil and acrylic works — including Elephant in Cambodia, captured from a trip she took to the Asian country five years ago — in the fall exhibit.

Dozens of original paintings from other Art Focus members are also up for grabs at the weekend-long show, which kicks off with a reception on Friday night in The Outlet at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall). 

The reception is open to the public and runs from 7 to 9 p.m., while the show is on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It also includes free art demos by the members.
