The vibrant work Chilliwack artist Zona Wale is coming to the Art Room for an exhibit starting May 10.
Her painting style blends imagination and reality, and reflects her way of expressing herself and the world around her.
Wale has exhibited with various groups in the Fraser Valley, and is one of the founding members of the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association, of which she has been a member since 1996.
“I’ve been painting for 30 years,” she says.
Her dazzling work is rich with themes fed by her travels around the world.
She uses media such as oils, egg tempera, and acrylic.
Wale graduated from University of Belgrade with a degree in Literature and Linguistics. In 1970 she made the move from England to Regina, Saskatchewan where her artistic journey began at the University of Regina’s Department of Visual Arts. She studied art in Serbia, Spain (British School of Art), and in Mexico at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende.
