| ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | Artist Alvina Green painted in oils and acrylics. She began her art studies at the Department of Extension of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Alberta, and continued annually to grow her skills while working as an art instructor in communities across Alberta.
The oil/canvas board landscape “David Thompson Country” (56 cm x 71 cm) celebrates a grey-blue rocky knoll comforting a community of mosses and lichens, while rising behind is an elder assembly of vibrant evergreen interrupted by the skeletons of their siblings; behind them all loom cold and distant mountains that are macrocosm to the knoll of the foreground.
Green participated in exhibitions, including at Canadiana Galleries, Oxford Galleries, and Fireweed Gallery in Edmonton. Her works live in many private collections, and in the collections of the Canadian National Institute of the Blind and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
Alvina Green lived in St. Albert; she was a member of Federation of Canadian Artists. |
