New works by Fernie-based artist, Michael Hepher.
This new body of work was inspired by a 6 week residency in Similkameen in the fall of 2024. There, the artist fell in love with the steep valleys, sweet sage-filled air, and towering ponderosa.

Artist Bio
As an Interdisciplinary artist, Michael Hepher has built a fascinating artistic career over 20 years. His work is an exploration of unique ways of seeing the world. From the beautiful to the banal, his paintings and prints lead him to seek that one angle that gives each moment its particular voice. Colourful, textural works emerge with the goal of anchoring the viewer in a moment and seeing what they haven’t seen before. Painting in oil on canvas and wood or linoleum block prints, Hepher works with unique colour schemes and layers of texture to bring out the emotion of a landscape.
