Kevin and Bryan Under wood and their father Cliff have calléd their exhibition “Family Expressions” Cliff Underwood was born in Nelson and is mostly self-taught as an artist, his interest in drawing having started at an early age Over the years he has used a number of different mediums, the most recent being gouache and acrylic. His- work is confined mainly to wildlife, with the major effort being placed on birds indigenous to North America. He has.participated in Nelson Art- walk and has also contributed to th¢e, Prince George Art Gallery His paintings are in private collections in a number of centres in B.C. and Alberta. Bryan Underwood is a self-taught artist who has been painting since early childhood, encouraged by his father, Cliff, to try differ- ent techniques to help influence him in an appreciation of all aspects of the art world, After his education in Nelson, Bryan moved to Prince George to further his career in forestry, which pre- sented many opportunities to see nature in its excellence and har- mony. Bryan's works have been shown in exhibitions in the Northem Interior and are in private collections throughout B.C.. “In my paintings I try to capture the realism and the untouched beauty of our natural world.” Kevin Underwood was born and raised in Nelson as well, and has been taking photographs since childhood. Initially he started in Colour, but séon developed an affinity for black and white photog- raphy. Basically self-taught, Kevin has taken several courses through the Kootenay Lake Summer School of the Arts. He recent- ly did the excellent photographic reproductions for the Ymir His- torical Photo Exhibition which toured the Kootenay region Exhibition hours for “Family Expressions” are from 1 to 4 p.m. daily except Sundays and statutory holidays.
