Reception: Saturday, March 15, 2025 2:00 – 4:00 Meet the Artists
Exhibition Details:
Come and join us as we celebrate Spring this March 14-20 at the Tulista Gallery in Sidney. We are four local artists (located on the peninsula) being inspired by similar elements (land, see, flora, fauna of the West Coast) to create our pieces. We each have a distinct style and appeal to a variety of art lovers. Two of the artists are exhibiting for the first time at ArtSea Gallery and look forward to seeing many community members popping in to take a look. We will have a reception to meet the artist on Saturday, March 15 from 2:00 – 4:00 with entrance limited to 30 people. We will be serving warm non-alcoholic cider and taking the time to introduce our art, our mediums and approach.
Artists:
Myrna Borleske
Myrna’s art depicts the stunning shores of Vancouver Island, to the peaceful landscapes of the interior and beyond. Residing on southern Vancouver Island, she enjoys painting, books, gardening travel and time spent with friends.
Wendy DeGraff
Wendy works in acrylics creating realistic portraits that convey the character of the subject. She has recently been exploring other subject matter as well.

Mary FitzZaland
Working mainly in pen and ink, Mary has been drawing all her life. Regardless of her medium, (ink, watercolour, acrylic) her art is fanciful, other-worldly and reflective of her life.

Being inspired by colours and movements found in nature, Denise uses acrylic fluid paints to capture the joy experienced in nature and being a visitor on the territories of the Coast Salish Peoples.
The ArtSea Gallery Program is presented by ArtSea Community Arts Council.
There is a new art exhibition each week at the ArtSea Gallery. Explore diverse art, meet artists, and experience creativity and community. Exhibitions and workshops are presented and managed by local artists and artisans.
A wonderful team of ArtSea Staff and volunteers maintain the gallery space and office so that is available for the use of the community.
The gallery facility is owned and the exterior property is maintained by the Town of Sidney.
ArtSea is pleased to work together with the Town of Sidney and other contributors, including the District of North Saanich, the District of Central Saanich, the Victoria Foundation, and Peninsula Co-op to provide this space as a hub for community connection and enrichment.
ArtSea is fortunate to operate within the unceded territory of the Coast Salish People – within the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation – Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout and Tseycum peoples.
