April Pop-Up Artists are Donna Gregory Wood, Sali Rogers, and Susan Viccars.

Susan Viccars

We are excited to welcome back the talented local artist, Susan Viccars, to our Pop Up space. Susan enjoys painting a wide range of subjects using both watercolour and acrylics.

For this show, she is showcasing vibrant watercolours of gardens and flowers, with a special focus on Garry Point Park. In celebration of Easter, Susan has also created charming wooden block miniatures of bunnies. Her classic Steveston Heritage Building paintings on wood blocks are always a beloved and popular addition to the show.

Donna Gregory Wood and Sali Rogers

Donna is returning to our Pop Up space to share her passion for bird photography. Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles are among her favourite subjects, and she loves capturing their beauty both through photography and in oil and acrylic paintings.

She will be featuring a stunning selection of greeting cards and framed prints.

This is Sali Rogers’ first time exhibiting in our Pop Up space. A passionate artist from a young age, Sali began painting pet portraits in Steveston in 2016, driven by her deep love for dogs. Working primarily in acrylics, she creates lifelike and charming paintings of not only dogs, but also cats and other animals.

She will be showcasing a beautiful selection of greeting cards and framed prints.
