The exhibition will feature the students’ designs printed on paper and will have an area where you can make your own relief print! \nThese student designs will later be printed onto fabric to create patterned feathers. After the Annex exhibition\, textiles artist Shelby Page will then lead Burnett Secondary School students in using this fabric to craft wings modeled on the Pacific Great Blue Heron. This final piece will be on display at the Richmond Art Gallery – Art Lounge for the month of December. \nMika Imada is a Richmond-based artist whose love for drawing and storytelling began when she was a kid. She took visual art throughout high school\, experimenting with many different mediums and from there\, chose to pursue her education in the creative field. She graduated from Capilano University where she studied 2D animation and visual development. In her free time\, she’s drawing\, painting\, or crafting. \nShelby Page is a multimedia artist from New Westminster who works with textiles\, leather\, and digital illustration.
