Burnaby Neighbourhood House is bringing art to the community again.

The North House will be showing work by Veneesa Gemma from Dec. 3 to 21.

Gemma was born and raised in Burnaby and was inspired to pursue art by her mother, Beverly Gemma, who trained with noted Canadian artist Donald Curley.

A write-up about the show notes that Veneesa’s passion for art and painting “has always been to see different perspectives in various techniques that create texture and movement.”

She uses acrylics to create impressionistic and abstract work that leave the viewer room for imagination.

“I am always looking for new opportunities that create energy, a feeling or mood,” she says in the write-up.

Want to see her work? Stop by the North House at 4908 Hastings St. anytime from Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. There's also an open house and meet-the-artist event on Monday, Dec. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.
