Grieve in Greenery

The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Grieve in Greenery” featuring the work of Alberta artist Gillian Coulton. About her work, Gillian writes:

“The tangled connections between memory, place, and personal history are often difficult to describe, my practice attempts to embody the connection between memory and place. I am an artist and white settler, originally from rural Alberta, and my work explores my connections to the places around the rural landscapes where I grew up with a sense of isolation, uneasy nostalgia and personal discovery. Drawing on prairie imagery, my work questions and attempts to pick apart traditions of landscape painting and their interconnection with the prairies, through both the way my work uses medium and imagery while still acknowledging my roots and learning as colonial.”

The exhibition runs February 4-27, 2026, at the Calgary Central Library, 800 3 St. SE, Calgary, Alberta.

There will be an artist’s talk on Saturday, February 21st at 1 pm. This event is free and open to the public.
