Ink and watercolour sketches of landmarks around the Tri-Cities and Metro Vancouver are now up at Port Coquitlam City Hall.
On Wednesday, July 17, Port Coquitlam artist Dilys Huang opened her display Urbanscapes: Snippets of Metro Vancouver, at the civic hub; the exhibition will be up until Jan. 14, 2025.
For her series, Huang, a Port Moody Secondary graduate who studied urban planning at university, focused on common places and captured them on location or through photos she snapped.
Huang said she likes getting out and collaborating on her craft.
“I think creating art is all about community,” she said in a city interview published online this week.
“For example, while I can work on my sketches by myself on one hand, urban sketching is oftentimes done together as a group. I always enjoy going out on various outings with fellow sketchers and meeting new people as well.”
Huang is a member of the Blackberry Artists Society, a collective that runs the Blackberry Gift Shop at PoMoArts in Port Moody.
Port Coquitlam City Hall (2580 Shaughnessy St.) is open Monday to Friday during business hours.
Meanwhile, other art shows around Port Coquitlam this summer are:
