Sooke Harbour House Art Gallery

There is an open reception on Sunday, April 4, 2010 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm with artists in attendance. Admission is free & refreshments available.

Sooke Harbour House Art Gallery will be featuring Artists Jill Winstanley & Aurafidelite Arindam.



Jill Winstanley, a self-taught oil painter, resides in Sooke, BC, Canada. Being born and raised on Vancouver Island has definitely inspired her creativity and her appreciation of nature on the West Coast. She has been working as a full time artist from her home studio since 2003. �As long as nature keeps springing forth with such vibrant beauty, I will never have a lack of inspiration. It is not my intent to �make a statement� with my art. I paint what I see and it is the feeling from the moment that I try to transfer to the canvas. I am truly in awe every day at the delicate balance between the plants and various insects that frequent my gardens. And the force of nature that is always prominent on the coast fixes me with its beauty. If I can capture a wee bit of that activity on canvas, I feel I have achieved my goal.



AURAFID�LIT� ARINDAM was born and raised in the province of Ontario. Her interest in art began at an early age when she was surrounded by her very talented artistic family. She later moved to Montreal for her Master�s studies at McGill University. Academically accomplished, she worked for several years in the private and public sector. In 1991, she moved with her husband to James Bay in Victoria, British Columbia. For several years, they worked for a UNESCO-sponsored project whose aim was to bring human unity and peace between various nations of the world.
