Des visages Art Show at the Victoria Tool Library
Des visages means “Faces” in French and is Bertie’s first collection of paintings. This style is heavily influenced by a painting in Bertie’s life growing up: a face made up of bold reds, greens, and yellows. This piece followed Bertie’s family as they moved from Quebec to British Columbia. To learn more about this influence, make sure to check out the show!
It is being shown at the Victoria Tool Library from November 2 to December 12 2023. Find the entrance at 750 Fairfield Rd.
