An exhibition in Gallery III, April 11 – May 15, 2026

Artist Reception: Saturday April 11, 2pm-4pm

From April 11 to May 15, Sivarulrasa Gallery is delighted to present Liz Jackson: Blanketed in Gallery III. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan and now based in Ompah, Ontario, Liz Jackson’s work is rooted in the natural environment. Her interest is in creating abstract works inspired by her geography on the Canadian Shield, where ancient rock, trees, and water breathe life into her work.

The works in Blanketed are inspired by themes of winter. “This series of paintings is about the winter glimpses that catch the eye under a blanket of snow”, she says. “As the snow changes on the Canadian Shield, so do the glimpses of rocks, lichen and dried foliage.” Her process explores gestural abstraction, where the act of mark-making shapes the painting as much as the final image. The artist builds layered surfaces with inks, graphite, coloured pencils, and pastels, at times incorporating collage elements such as papers, sand, screening, and cheesecloth to create texture and depth. Her approach to composition is guided by both observation and intuition. The resulting works occupy a space at the boundary of representation, inviting the viewer to consider landscape through a contemporary lens.

Through abstraction, Liz Jackson aims to distill the energy of the natural world into a visual language that is both personal and universal. Her works have been exhibited in Ontario and are held in private collections in Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Artist Reception: Saturday April 11, 2pm-4pm. Artist Liz Jackson will be in attendance.
