Main Wall: BC Wild by Kaaren Soby
Kaaren Soby has lived in the Bulkley Valley since the 1970s but was born and raised in High River, Alberta. She has enjoyed growing recognition as a painter of merit with exceptional talent and a gift that enables her to capture the joy in nature. Her paintings are in private collections across North America and Europe.
Kaaren’s vibrantly coloured canvases are loosely painted and full of energy reflective of her own uninhibited enthusiasm and exuberance. Kaaren studied with Nichola Bjelajac at the Forum Art Institute in Winnipeg for a year and was apprenticed to sculptor Katie Ohe at the Alberta College of Art. Of her own work Kaaren says, “when I paint, I try to keep myself away from getting formal and looking for a finished product because then you lose the flavour and the interest, the life and the juiciness, and that element in the good art that allows the observer/participant to use their own awareness to complete the mystery. That’s the kind of art that I respond to – it’s very lively art. It’s very juicy, very organic art.” Kaaren has led a diverse and unorthodox life, travelling widely and selectively gleaning elements of other cultures and beliefs and integrating them with her own intuitive sense of spirituality. Her adventures and experiences include teaching, folk singing, silviculture, tree-planting, prospecting and petrology, practicing and teaching somatics, and four years of living among three Chipewan communities in northern Saskatchewan. She and her partner, Larry, and two children moved to their “perfect piece of land” in Telkwa in the 70s to build the off-grid house which they still call home. All paintings are acrylic on canvas.
