The Prow Gallery is pleased to present Young Summer, the latest collection of oil paintings by Nova Scotian artist Shelley Mansel. Inspired by childhood summers of the
1920s and 1980, this work draws from memories of endless days spent exploring outdoors
with complete freedom and curiosity. Rock pools, damp forest floors, and blackberry
thickets evoke a nostalgic sense of wonder, curiosity and discovery. Using an earthy palette
of browns, greens and natural tones, this series forms a visual tapestry of remembered
summers.
Young Summer invites viewers back into those long unsupervised days where climbing
trees, skipping stones, and finding frogs fostered the imagination, a sense of awe, and an
enduring habit of close observation. These early experiences of paying attention to nature
become a foundation for a lifelong way of seeing.
Young Summer runs from June 2-26, with an artist reception on Thursday, June 4, 5-8pm.
All are welcome to attend this event – the artist will be in attendance. Camp snacks
provided!
The Prow Gallery is located at 1479 Lower Water Street, Bishop’s Landing, Halifax
