Actor/artist pencils perfection

Living creatures inspire her as an artist

Artist Breanna Podlasly will be at work in the Campbell River Art Gallery Saturday, from 1-3 p.m., capturing the beauty of animals with her unique pencil drawings.

“I love the perfection and detail you can get with a pencil and how everything you can imagine can be brought into reality and seen for others to enjoy,” Podlasly said of her work. “It’s like living out your fantasies and creations.”

She said living creatures inspire her as an artist.

“Animal eyes have something that pull me in and make me feel the colours and feathers and life that surrounds the world,” she said. “ I feel as if there is something pure and untouched.

“It’s beautiful.”

Podlasly, originally from Sointula, graduated from secondary school in Port McNeill in 2012.

As well as working as an artist, Podlasly is an actor who has appeared in several popular television shows, including The 100 and Arctic Air. Come see her at work at the Campbell River Art Gallery Saturday, December 13, from 1 – 3 p.m.
