Picture Perfect: Julie Lee and Gabryel Harrison
There'll be much worthwhile stuff to bid on when Alison Lawton chairs the Unite With Art gala at the
Rocky Mountaineer station June 21. The gala will benefit UNICEF Canada's Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS
campaign. A preview ran at the Auto One dealership's Trunk Gallery Thursday, when Trunk president
Cecilia Jette and UWA executive director-curator Julie Lee showed works by the gala's 40
contributing artists, including Michael Abraham, Andrea Bax, Fred Herzog, Tiko Kerr and George Vergette.
Gabryel Harrison showed one of the $6,000 works she creates by reproducing self-written poems in Braille,
then layering them with gold leaf and oil paint.

Preview The Gallery Guide
by Mia Johnson
With her third solo exhibition at Jacana Gallery in so many
years, Vancouver artist Gabryel Harrison delivers another
passionate and edgy body of work. In some of the finest and
most self–assured painting in Vancouver, Harrison plumbs the
essence of blood–red and labia–pink flowers in dripping and tumbling
compositions of blossoms and buds. Her search for what she describes
as “the pain and passion...the struggle and the ultimate surrender...of
our own existence” is palpable, as if she has plunged her hands into the
darkness of entrails and wrenched flowers forward onto the picture plane.
