  • Artist Barbara Brown, Film Showing & Book Reading at Gallery 444, Nelson

    All for the Love of the Forest
    Film Screening & Book Reading by Artist Barbara Brown, at Gallery 444, Nelson

    Slocan Valley artist/author/film-maker Barbara Brown will show her latest film, On BEAUTY As We Come to it in the Forest, and read from her book, Volume II, SYLVAN REFLECTIONS: Wanderings, Paintings & Ponderings from the Forest, at SOMA Sound & Events • Gallery 444, up the stairs at 444 Baker St, Nelson (next door to Moon Monster) on Sunday July 27th, 6:30 – 8:30 pm. By donation ($10 suggested).

    Brown’s work is all about sharing the love she feels for the forest where she lives and walks daily.

    The film is a half-hour deep-dive into the beauty, magic and teachings of the forest;
    with stunning old-growth forest footage by cinematographer Isaac Carter of ICandyFIlms and a beautifully evocative original soundtrack by composer Noel Fudge.

    As she says in the film: “Come, let’s go for a walk together in the forest and contemplate Nature’s Beauty. Let’s revel in the Beauty of Nature, and ponder the Nature of Beauty…as we come to it in the forest.”

    After the film, Brown will read from her second SYLVAN REFLECTIONS book, of paintings, poems, and poetic prose – all inspired by time spent in the woods.

    Ellen Dee Davidson, author of Sacred Forest Bathing says: “Barbara gives us a peek into the transformative power of spending time in the wild woods. Using her artistic talent, the film and book succeed in bringing us into the enchanted realm of a healthy forest, where we may find ourselves soothed, heartened, inspired, uplifted and healed.”

    Five of Brown’s forest paintings are on display in the gallery throughout July and August as a part of the group show: “True Nature —bringing a voice to the environment, nature, and humanity’s relationship with it”, along with other artists Christina Bykowa, Christopher Mcholm and Sam Strachan.
