Gibson Fine Art: Contemporary Canadian Art in Calgary

Maria Munar

Sentient Plant Allies in Alien Landscapes

Sentient Plant Allies in Alien Landscapes 3 - 21 October 2025

We’re proud to present Calgary artist Maria Munar in her first solo exhibition at Gibson Fine Art. Through layered photography and sculptural collage, Munar creates hybrid botanical forms that explore memory, identity, and renewal. Her imagined gardens blur the boundaries between nature and self, inviting us into spaces of transformation and belonging.

McKenna Prather

Through richly detailed paintings and embroidered textures, McKenna Prather captures the magic of the Albertan landscape in Autumnal. Inspired by Dutch still life and vintage botanical illustrations, the collection blends cozy textiles, intricate patterns, and vibrant fall palettes. From the majestic Rocky Mountains to lavish florals and portraits of Canadian wildlife, these works weave a romantic narrative of autumn in Alberta.

Join us on October 25 from 2–5 PM for an Artist Talk with McKenna at 3 PM!

Admission is free, but space is limited—RSVP now to secure your spot and be part of this vibrant celebration of art and nature.

SHEILA KERNAN, Secret Gardens
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 14 | 6–9 PM
Step inside Sheila Kernan’s Secret Gardens, an immersive art experience transforming Gibson Fine Art into a living, breathing installation of colour, light, and imagination.

Known for her vibrant, layered paintings that celebrate the beauty of both urban life and the natural world, Kernan invites you to explore a whimsical environment where painting meets sculpture, and art extends beyond the canvas. Her newest body of work captures the lush energy of a secret garden—each piece bursting with texture, pattern, and movement that evoke wonder and discovery.

For this special evening, guests will have the opportunity to meet Sheila Kernan in person, enjoy refreshments, and experience the gallery as it blossoms into a multisensory world of creativity.
