Vibrant Layers: Exploring the Spectrum of Life

"Vibrant Layers: Exploring the Spectrum of Life" is the first official solo art exhibition by Sheila Jensen, a retired educator from Melfort. Hosted at the Sherven-Smith Art Gallery within the Kerry Vickar Centre, the exhibition showcases Jensen's transition from a long-time private practice to a public professional debut. Jensen previously spent 30 years teaching in the region before focusing fully on her artistic output during retirement.

The exhibition focuses on Jensen’s exploration of color and its ability to influence mood, texture, and shape. Her works primarily consist of oil and acrylic paintings, though the collection also includes watercolor pieces. The title reflects the high-energy, colorful nature of the works on display, which aim to represent a broad spectrum of visual life.

Visitors to the gallery can view original paintings alongside prints and original artwork in note card form. The exhibition represents a significant milestone for the artist, who is now expanding her reach through social media and local art tours after years of sharing her work primarily with family and friends.
