Our galleries have always been a clean and safe place for art lovers to view and purchase the best examples of Canadian art.   Dan, Lana, Matthew Hudon and all staff are committed to providing the best level service available to you and our family of artists.  To reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19, we have decided to close our Edmonton and Victoria galleries to the public from March 17 – 31.  We will reassess the situation in April and relay further information at that time. 

We are now offering a free shipping promotion within Canada* as well as complimentary courier services within the Edmonton and Victoria area.  Until export services such as Canada Post, Canpar, DHL, etc., cease operating, we will continue answering the phones and responding to enquiries.

The West End Gallery is pleased to present “From Here to There,” a solo exhibition of new works by Dana Irving.

Irving’s painting style is borne of a deep affection for the Canadian landscape. From her childhood in rural BC surrounded by pine trees and lakes to her current home in Vancouver where nature can be ignored by no one, the natural world has left an indelible mark on her sense of aesthetics and place. 

“The pattern of going to a beautiful place and staying a while, seeing it in all kinds of weather, at all times of day and then drawing and painting it, is a loop that I love to repeat. These are the best business trips ever! In summer of 2019, I spent a week hiking around Canmore and Lake Louise in the Rockies and then a few weeks later, I did a 5 day kayak trip around Desolation Sound on the west coast of BC. This exhibition is the fruit of those two adventures. I am always amazed how far I can go just one step (or paddle) at a time.” –Dana Irving 2020
