City & Story: The Art of Place
3 - 17 May, 2025
Gibson Fine Art is proud to present City & Story: The Art of Place—a special exhibition featuring new works by Jill Thomson, paired with the book launch of the expanded third edition of Calgary’s Best Walks by local author Lori Beattie. This thoughtful pairing brings together art and storytelling in a celebration of Calgary’s unique neighborhoods and the people who shape them.

Jill Thomson’s newest collection is vibrant and full of life—collage-like paintings that blend streetscapes, gardens, and everyday moments to reflect the connections we share with the places we call home. Her work is inspired by her prairie roots, city life in Montreal, and her current life in Edmonton as a mother and artist.

We’re also thrilled to welcome Lori Beattie for a special talk at 2 PM on Saturday, May 3. She’ll share highlights from her newly updated book, which now includes 95 of Calgary’s most interesting walks—urban, natural, and everything in between. One of Jill’s paintings even graces the cover.

Come by the gallery, meet the artist, hear from the author, and enjoy a creative afternoon that invites you to see your city through a fresh lens. We can’t wait to share this with you.

Erin Ross | Not My First Rodeo

Opening May 31, 2025
Artist Reception with the Artist | Saturday, May 31, from 5 PM to 8 PM

Gibson Fine Art is pleased to present a new collection of work by long-time gallery artist Erin Ross. Known for her distinctive, expressive landscapes, Ross continues to explore the interplay of memory, movement, and nature through bold colour and layered brushwork.

This latest series captures the quiet power of place—glowing horizons, shifting light, and the emotional resonance of the land. With over 25 years of experience across public and private art spaces, Ross brings both clarity and depth to her practice.

RSVP to the Opening

Erin's newest work will be available in-gallery and online starting May 31. Please contact the gallery if you would like to be added to the preview list.
