Burnaby Neighbourhood House is inviting everyone in to check out the work of a local artist.
An open house is set for Friday, Feb. 21 for a new exhibition on the North House art wall.
It features the work of Nadia Diamond, a Persian-Canadian artist who is focused on “spiritual techniques for living, self-awareness and awakening,” as a press release says.
Diamond grew up with a mother who was a miniaturist and gained a bachelor’s degree in arts, prompting Diamond to pursue painting and drawing herself. At the age of 19, she moved to Turkey, where she gained experiences in a variety of art forms and mediums – including live dancing in music festivals, stage decorating, fabric design, character concept art, painting and 3D face design projects.
Within three years, she was on her way to Canada, where she gained experience working on interior design projects.
“She is a proud Canadian citizen who is focused on her artistic journey and hopes to become even more successful in future,” said the release.
Diamond’s work will be on display for the latter half of February and throughout the month of March.
You can stop in to check it out anytime Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The open house is on Feb. 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s north location, 4908 Hastings St. For info, call 604-294-5444 or email northinfo@burnabynh.ca.
