As many people did during the pandemic, Velta Vikmanis and her husband Peter were looking to move from the crush of the city to the calm of the country.
“With the pandemic I think everybody kind of did an inventory and reprioritizing of life,” Velta Vikmanis told QCCR News.
That examination of where you’ve been, where you’re going and where you end up is a central theme of Vikmanis’s art exhibit, now on at the Astor Theatre in Liverpool. “The show is really a reflection of things I did in the past, things that I did in school and an opportunity for me to get back into a daily practice and reflection of my art,” she explained.
Vikmanis, a graduate of OCAD University, moved to Liverpool in 2021 after 16 years in Toronto. Moving to Nova Scotia allowed her to rediscover her passion for art.
Chaos to Calm’s opens with a reception on Friday evening at 6:30.
