Denman artist opens studio

Leslie Dunsmore, an established artist on Denman Island, will open her Garden of Lilies and Studio to the public Saturday and Sunday

Leslie Dunsmore, an established artist on Denman Island, will open her Garden of Lilies and Studio to the public Saturday and Sunday July 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The studio sits above terraced flower beds by the sea. And if Mother Nature listened to Leslie’s pleadings, hundreds of lilies and poppies will be wide open, boasting about their colour and size.

Her most recent paintings explore the theme of Edge: subterranean, cliff, free fall, vantage, brink.

These altered landscapes are full of bright colour and crisp detail. In pursuit of silence, Dunsmore honours nature, producing mysterious scenes that are somehow familiar, following a thread of dreamscape or memory.

Her studio and garden are at 4791 East Rd. on Denman.
