Karen Brownlee’s watercolour paintings from the Rural Prairie Communities series employ a similar sense of whimsy through her use of fantastical colours to create both visual interest and a strong sense of cohesion in her oeuvre. Her many iterations of the sublime role of the grain elevator in the prairie landscape conveys a sense of place for those familiar with rural Alberta living.
Curator: David Smith
