ART & LITERATURE

Wood paintings
A collection of work spanning 1995 to 1998. Pearce at this time was rebuilding her life in Nelson British Columbia and had very little income. Unable to afford canvas Pearce made do with what she had. She took cast off pieces of plywood sanded them and used them as painting surfaces. These acrylic paintings are smaller scale as they were mostly completed on the kitchen table, or on her lap. Karla had no studio at this time. In fact Karla, Jim and Anise all lived in a tiny 600 square foot apartment for three years. Jim Pearce fondly recounts this time period as the Love Nest Years. These paintings are autobiographical. They tell the stories of Karla's journey into wellness. These paintings are ready to hang and require no frame unless desired.
