Laara Cassells, "On the Look Out - Arctic Wolves" 20 x 20" Acrylic on Board

The Alberta Society of Artists is proud to present the solo exhibition “Wild Alberta” featuring paintings by Alberta artist Laara Cassells.

The exhibition runs February 1, 2023 – February 28, 2023, at the Calgary Public Library, 800 3 St. SE, Calgary, Alberta.

Artist talk is 1 pm on Saturday, February 11.

This series depicts images of Alberta wildlife based on personal observation and photos Laara Cassells has taken of wolves and foxes and their habitats around Alberta. As with human portraiture, Laara wishes to portray each animal as an individual with its own unique personality whether it is a wolf, fox, or an equine subject. She tries to bring each creature alive for the viewers so that they get the feeling that they have shared with her a momentary magical encounter with the animal themselves.
