New artwork unveiled at Capitol


Moncton artist Nancy King Schofield '91 has long been inspired by and concerned for the environment around her, a theme central to much of her work.

Among her latest creations is Natura VI, a mixed-media work that addresses the environment. The work was unveiled yesterday at Moncton's Capitol Theatre.

Natura VI consists of six panels forming a six feet by 12 feet work that will be on semi-permanent display over the main staircase of the Irving Lobby.

The images have been inspired by landscapes, the ocean, driftwood and stones with three of the panels being photographs and the other three drawn in wood with texture and paint added.

Nancy graduated from Mount A's fine arts program 15 years ago and has since opened a studio in Grand Barachois to write and continue her visual art work.

Her work will be on display for the next two years. Admission is free.
