Mariam Qureshi - Painting Plein air studies of the rockies.
MARIAM QURESHI:
CARNET DES SOMMETS
May 5 - July 3, 2026
“In the quiet halls of a healthcare environment, my goal is to provide a "visual window" to the vastness of the Canadian wilderness. Carnet des Sommets is a collection of plein air watercolour paintings that capture the fleeting, raw energy of our summits and valleys. Through gestural lines and a biophilic approach to colour, these works are designed to provide "visual respite" and psychological relief. Each sketch is a testament to nature's resilience, intended to serve as a restorative companion for those navigating the hospital space.” ~Mariam Qureshi
