Willy Carleton

A new exhibit at the Portage and District Arts Centre is exploring the subject of loss and grieving. Willy Carleton has created a mixed media and fibre art exhibition, which interprets the emotional subject matter and portrays it in thought-provoking ways.

Carleton says her past employment experience as a counsellor has shaped her values and inspired her art. She says it also comes from personal experience and believes that we all share common emotions throughout our lives and that her art interprets these emotions.

Portage and District Art Centre Executive Director Lori Blight says while the exhibit does touch on a serious subject matter, it is something people can relate to. The loss and grieving series will remain on display in the main gallery until March 29th.
