​Island Colours Fall Exhibit at MacNaught History Centre and Archives 

 

Prince Edward Island has an abundant share of nature’s colours, which Bideford artist, June Ellis, loves to capture on canvas. Rural Prince Edward Island has been home to Ellis, both as a child and as an adult, instilling in her a special connection to the Island’s beauty. She has developed an eye for capturing the soft colours of its sandy shores, lighthouses, and farmlands. Oil is her medium of choice.

 

“Island Colours” is the title Ellis has given her current solo exhibit on show at the MacNaught History Centre and Archives in Summerside during October and November. The Island artist who has studied with such artists as Henry Purdy, Lise Genova, Sandi Komst and Maurice Bernard has showed at a number of Island venues, and has seen her art work added to private collections in every Canadian province, and as far away as the United States, Italy, Spain, China, and Japan.

“Island Colours” can be viewed, Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at the MacNaught History Centre and Archives, 75 Spring Street in Summerside. The Archives is closed on Sunday and statutory holidays.
