Audrey Holrod: A Lifetime Achievement Opportunity

I first met Audrey Holrod over ten years ago and was instantly intrigued by the artist and her work. The Gallery began to represent Audrey and has seen her reputation grow over the years.

Audrey became an artist late in life, but has made up for lost time. She has had over 34 solo shows and has been part of numerous group exhibitions.

Her works have hung in cities across Canada and have won over 50 awards. Her work has been published in Education Forum and Canadian Camera. In 1995 Polaroid Canada acquired four of her works. In 2006 she self published Beyond the Photo, a history of her experimentation and creation with Polaroid Spectra film and camera

While Audrey’s work has been included in many Gallery de Boer exhibitions, Audrey Holrod: A Lifetime Achievement Opportunity is her first solo exhibition at this gallery. Running for the entire month of May, 50 years of Audrey’s work is on display and sale, with special pricing in place for this once in a lifetime event.

To launch things off, a Grand Opening Reception will be held on Friday May 8^th starting at 7 pm at Gallery de Boer. Special guest Stuart Reid, curator of the Tom Thomson Art Gallery will be opening the festivities by introducing this artist and her body of work.

“Being a teacher was my profession. Being a flower gardener is my hobby. Being an artist is who I am.”

Audrey Holrod: A Lifetime Achievement Opportunity runs May 1 to May 30 2009.
