“A BIRD’S EYE VIEW” Take part in a transcending journey. A journey with birds. Birds that have taken their last flight. You will see their souls. You will hear their message.
About the Artist, Elaine Burns
Elaine is a Canadian painter whose works range from impressionism to landscape. The inspiration for her art comes from nature, all she has seen and experienced. She has taken numerous workshops with professional artists Debbie Lively and Yvonne Reddick. Most recently she has taken course study with the Landscape Atelier, instructed by Deborah Paris. In 2022, Elaine’s work, “The Birds”, was juried by the Canadian Federation of Artists and she was awarded Active Status with the Federation. Oil is Elaine’s preferred medium, lending well to her interpretation of birds, animals and the landscape. About her art, Elaine says “it is my wish to share my vision of the world, with the world, through my paintings”.
Artist Statement, “The Birds”
“All the experiences you have had in your life have led you to one place. The place you are right now, in this very moment. I can’t tell you exactly where “The Birds” came from, other than they came from within me. From my compassion for those who cannot speak for themselves. Our fine feathered friends bring so much joy to my life, the sighting of an animal in the wild, a fish swimming freely upstream. For them, they speak, through this art.” ~ Elaine Burns

The Kamloops Courthouse Gallery is a non-profit, co-operative art gallery which was founded in 2007 by a small group of dedicated artists from the Kamloops area. Today, the Gallery and Gift Shop are managed by a growing group of artists offering a wide range of talents and skills.
The purpose of the gallery is to provide a venue for member artists to sell their work while offering the community an opportunity to experience different forms of visual and functional art. Our objectives are to provide continuing support for the co-op and its membership through the gift shop and by organizing artisan fairs in the Old Courthouse.
Another objective is to provide education by offering demonstrations and workshops for those interested in learning a new art form.
We are dedicated to creating an enriching and cultural experience for both residents and visitors of Kamloops, as well as the people of British Columbia. Culture, Art, Community and Prosperity all become a reality as a result of this initiative. We are located in the historic “Old Kamloops Courthouse” which we share with the Kamloops Community Arts Council and Arnica.
The Kamloops Courthouse Gallery Gift Shop boasts an unmatched selection of media and styles including pottery, jewelry, glass art, paintings, scupture and fibre art to suit the tastes of casual shoppers as well as serious collectors.
