An exhibition in Gallery III, August 1 – September 4, 2026

Artist Reception: Saturday August 1, 2pm-4pm

From August 1 to September 4, Sivarulrasa Gallery is delighted to present Barbara Gamble: Enchantment, featuring 8 works in oil and wax by Ottawa-based artist Barbara Gamble. “During the evolution of a painting, I become enchanted when the synergy of subject, imagination, and materials align”, she says. “The intense spell of creation continues until ultimately, the image exists as a unique presence.”

Barbara Gamble has made interpretive landscape paintings for over 45 years. Her works are influenced by experience, actions, and concerns related to the natural world. Her oil painting process involves the multi-layering of coloured waxes to create luminous surfaces. The resulting dimensional surfaces enhance the light and contrast found in nature.

Born in Ontario, she grew up in Canada’s Maritime provinces, lived in the United States and Europe, and settled in Ottawa. Her paintings have been exhibited extensively in galleries and in municipal, provincial, and national institutions. A passionate advocate for the arts, Barbara Gamble has also served in many volunteer positions in the cultural sector, including positions on the board of directors of the Ottawa Art Gallery, CARFAC National, and the Enriched Bread Artists. Her paintings are held in many private and public collections, including the Canadian Museum of Nature, the Ottawa Art Gallery, the City of Ottawa, and numerous corporate collections.

Artist Reception: Saturday August 1, 2pm-4pm. Artist Barbara Gamble will be in attendance.
