Art featured at Lougheed Centre

By Lori Larsen

Camrose art curator Jane Cherry-Lemire invites residents and guests to Camrose to take in another installment of the continuing art exhibitions at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre (the Lougheed Centre).

Featured artists have their work displayed in the lobby of the Lougheed Centre for anyone to take in free, self-guided tours during Lougheed open hours or for those attending an event at the Lougheed and benefiting from the added bonus of enjoying the exhibit prior to, after the show or during intermission.

From July 28 to September 8 the works of Florence McMahon and Grant McMahon will be featured.

Florence McMahon was born in 1943, and raised on a farm near Daysland, Alberta. Raised in a rural atmosphere, she had learned to appreciate the beauty of nature. She enjoyed painting old buildings, elevators, flowers, landscapes, and other nature scenes.

Florence began her passion for painting in 1989, using several different mediums, such as watercolours, acrylic, pastels and then settled on oil. She had little formal training in art and was mostly selftaught. She spent years fine tuning her work to get the results she wanted, taking various classes from different instructors and as a member of the Bittern Lake Art Guild and the Alberta Community Art Club Association.

Her original oils were done on canvas, consisting of many layers and long hours. A lot of these original paintings are available on Giclee canvas prints. She showcased her art in various shows and locations throughout Alberta. Sadly Florence passed away in January of 2019 but her talent and memories live on and her devotion to the arts appreciated during exhibitions such as the one at the Lougheed Centre. Grant McMahon was born and raised on a farm in Galahad. At a young age, Grant discovered he had a love of art and drawing and would make art in school and for various family members. It wasn’t until later in life when his wife, Florence, became interested in painting that Grant became a part time art critic. Then, in 2016, he went from art critic to artist. He is a self taught artist who enjoys drawing and painting in various mediums. This art exhibit is part of the ongoing series of exhibitions, many of which features local artists and their incredible talent.
