PRINCE GEORGE – Micheline Snively’s “Scattered Views” exhibit will be featured at Studio 2880 from November 22 to the New Year. Displaying beautiful paintings of lakes near McKenzie, B.C., Snively explained her art is about much more than just the stunning scenery, as painting actually played a key role in her recovery from a head injury in 2016 that impacted her vision, light sensitivity, vestibular, and more.
“Over the years I found ways of recovery in that going out and capturing the imagery for these paintings was part of my recovery in terms of pushing myself, pushing my limits, finding capacity, finding that energy I used to have,” she said.
Snively has always been an outdoor person, as she loves hiking and biking with her dogs in the mountains and woods, but the injury also caused her to have balance issues so these hobbies quickly became incredibly challenging. Wanting to re-explore and rediscover the locations she loves, Snively explained she actually found a new muse during her painting: water.
