Pearl Ellis Gallery invites the community to experience Joy, a members' show that embodies warmth, creativity, and celebration. From landscapes to abstract pieces, this final exhibit of the year features diverse styles and mediums, and captures moments of happiness and the creative spirit. Joy runs from Nov. 26 to Dec. 21.

A highlight of the show is Sarah Bergeron's captivating painting of a ladybug, which she describes as a reflection of joy. 

"This painting symbolizes small moments of happiness and unexpected delight," Bergeron explains. "The ladybug serves as a gentle guide, reminding us to seek wonder in the simple things and to celebrate life's fleeting yet precious moments of beauty."

Visit The Pearl for the opening reception on Nov. 30, from 1:00 p.m. to 3 p.m.. Meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.

Pearl Ellis Gallery is located at 1729 Comox Avenue across from Comox Mall. It is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. Admission is free.
