Former Elgin pupil Rose Kendall exhibits her art in Vancouver

A former Elgin High pupil who emigrated to Canada last year has now taken part at the Art Vancouver fair.

Rose Kendall exhibited her most recent series of landscape paintings at the international event which welcomed more than 10,000 visitors on each of its four days.

Despite having crossed the world, she says the inspiration for much of her art still comes from these shores.

Her current work work is based largely on photographs taken by both and her family on hiking and camping trips across Scotland.

A hundred artists from across the globe took part at the Art Vancouver fair.

Rose said: “It’s been such an inspiring event. I’m very proud to be showcasing my paintings alongside so many other amazing, talented artists. It was wonderful speaking with

so many people with connections to Scotland and sharing a love for these beautiful landscapes through my paintings.”

Rose graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee during 2020. She works primarily in acrylic on canvas.
