Okanagan in Colour:
Two Artists, One Valley
October 10th - November 8th
Okanagan in Colour: Two Artists, One Valley
The Okanagan is a landscape that invites endless interpretation. Its sweeping mountains, shimmering lakes, orchards, vineyards and changing light are familiar to those who live here, yet they reveal something different each time we look. Okanagan in Colour: Two Artists, One Valley brings together the work of Danielle Harshenin and Leanne Spanza, two artists inspired by the same remarkable place.
While our artistic approaches and visual languages are distinct, we share a deep connection to the Okanagan and a desire to capture the feeling of living within this landscape. Through vibrant colour, shape and abstraction, we each interpret familiar places in our own way. Rather than simply documenting the scenery around us, our paintings explore how the Okanagan is experienced – its energy, beauty, atmosphere and sense of place. The recognizable landscape becomes a starting point for something more personal and expressive.
Together, these works invite viewers to look at the Okanagan from two perspectives: to recognize the places they know, while seeing them transformed through the individual eyes of each artist.
This exhibition is ultimately a celebration of place and perspective – a reminder that even when we share the same mountains, lakes and skies, we each carry our own version of the landscape within us.
Two artists. One valley. Endless ways to see it.
