OUTDOOR IMPRESSIONS

Agnete Newman

The Cube
June 20 to July 26, 2009

Born and raised in Denmark, Agnete Newman arrived in Halifax in 1951. On a train trip to Vancouver, Newman had her first introduction to varied Canadian topographies. She now calls Kamloops home, but spends part of the year in Sechelt with her daughter’s family and her grandson. She studied art and design in Copenhagen and Victoria, B.C. and received her diploma in fine arts from the University College of the Cariboo. She is an active member of the Gibson’s paddle group and loves the outdoors. This exhibition features landscapes of B.C. Interior and ocean views of the British Columbia coast. She paints her works en plein air as did many of the impressionists. Newman has exhibited on the Sunshine Coast and in Kamloops, and has a work in the KAG permanent collection.
