Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.

Ethne Cullen calls herself a nomad, having lived and worked in five countries and three Canadian provinces. She is an educator by training having worked as a teacher, principal and university lecturer. As well, for many years she “had one foot in the real world” as an entrepreneur, owning three clothing stores in Victoria. She has been active in the community, sitting on boards of the Victoria symphony, a large hospital in Toronto and chairing the United Way Board in Victoria as well and the National United Way Board. She has enjoyed sport: golf, tennis and skiing in her younger years. She enjoys music, playing the piano as relaxation, and paints, paints, paints.
During her travels she has kept her artistic eye open to the variety and colour in our world. This is reflected in her artwork. She uses a mix of media including oils, acrylics, pastels, and often mixed media. Her subject matter is as varied as the medium in which she works. Many of her ideas are drawn from other people’s projects, and she translates these into her own interpretation.
She has selected artwork that shows the variety of her work. A variety of subject matter – everything from flowers, to landscapes, to animals. A variety of media – oils, acrylics and pastels. And she shows off a variety of techniques – she paints with sponges, stencils, credit cards, straws, pastel chalks and, of course, brushes.
Ethne enjoys nothing more than sitting at her large painting table, putting on an audio book and dabbling with paint.
