Landscape artist Eileen Williamson is presenting her solo exhibition "Wanderings" at the Art 10 Gallery in Nanaimo North Town Centre throughout June and July 2026. The show features bold acrylic landscape paintings inspired by Vancouver Island locations, including works like *Over the Rise* (based on Westwood Lake) and *Storm Glow*. Williamson, who began her art journey as a child with pen and ink before studying graphic arts at Capilano, cites influences such as Salvador Dalí and Peter Paul Rubens. An opening reception is scheduled for June 13, and her paintings are also available for purchase on her website.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the work of a local Vancouver Island artist and brings landscape painting to a community gallery space, reinforcing the role of regional art venues in supporting emerging and established artists. It also underscores the enduring appeal of nature-inspired art and the personal, observational approach Williamson brings to capturing the island's changing light and weather patterns.
