Although I have no formal training in art I have dabbled since art classes in school in Adelaide, Australia. I have taken oil and water colour classes at Place D'Art in Coquitlam and
Acrylic and Life Drawing at Port Moody Art Centre. In 2000 I moved to Terrace B.C. where I pursued many facets of art and got involved with the art community. I have had several shows in Terrace & Smithers and shown in many galleries, and other venues throughout the north. In 2016 I moved to Salmon Arm and have showed in “Artistry by the Lake” in Blind Bay in 2016 and 2017, The “Red and White” show at the Salmon Arm Gallery, Gallery Vertigo in Vernon and the Courtyard Gallery in Enderby and have joined the Salmon Arm sketch and painting group. I hope to continue to pursue my art in my new community.

Courtyard Gallery is accepting applications from committed artists and artisans who are interested in becoming “gallery artists”. All pieces must be the original, hand-produced work of the artists, and members are chosen for originality and diversity of their work.
In exchange for a monthly membership fee, your work will be exhibited in the gallery. We charge a small commission fee of 20% and we all work co-operatively to run the gallery.
If you are interested in being part of this not for profit, artist run gallery, please contact Tatianna O'Donnell at:
