\n \n gabrielle writes that she, \"draws inspiration from sweeping cloud-covered skies and strives to capture both the drama and tranquility that those overcast days evoke\" \n \n \n  \n \n \n a graduate of emily carr university, gabrielle strong\u2019s practice is split between painting, ceramics and public art. prior to attending art school, she spent five exciting years travelling to over 70 countries on all seven continents by sea on a luxury cruise-liner, leaving her with a deep connection to the ocean. those years at sea left their mark and coupled with 20 years living on the pacific west coast, she is forever drawn to themes of water, weather and sky, which reoccur throughout her art practice. \n \n \n  \n \n \n inspired by the beauty of big monochromatic moody skies, through her paintings gabrielle seeks to capture the quiet sense of calm those overcast days evoke. primarily working in oils, she is always searching for the moment the veil is lifted, revealing a glimmer of light on the horizon. her work is often described as quintessentially west coast.  \n \n \n  \n \n \n as part of canada 150, gabrielle was awarded a major public art commission by the government of canada, city of vernon and downtown vernon association to commemorate canada\u2019s 150th anniversary, whereby she enlisted the community to help create an over 100-foot long winding river mosaic in downtown vernon. more recently, gabrielle has exhibited her paintings solo at gallery vertigo and at the peachland art gallery. her paintings are represented by gallery merrick in victoria, ashdale gallery in north vancouver and through the american online gallery, pxp contemporary. her works are also in the vernon public art gallery and the vernon community arts centre gift shops. \n \n \n  \n \n \n \n \n in 2015, gabrielle was the caetani centre\u2019s very first ceramics artist-in-residence (ceramair), which brought her to vernon and where she has since made her home. following her residency she was hired to run the air program for one year, and she currently serves on the caetani centre's board of directors. \n \n \n

this painting is about light, colour, movement and the dissolution of matter into energy. i am influenced by the reality of nature and how everything that appears solid is actually moving, changing, dissolving on a molecular level. i also feel that there is a light within all beings and i try to express this light shining through in my paintings.  \n  \n heidi thompson's connection with sveva caetani:  \n \"i met sveva first when i was 17 when she gave to give a talk to our history class at vss high school. sveva emphatically stressed the importance of leaving vernon and seeing the world. a few weeks later, i moved to europe where i studied art for 8 years. upon returning to vernon, i visited sveva and became her photographer. i documented her paintings as she completed over the next 10 years. i promised that i would publish her recapitulation series into a book. i presented her my final book design on a sunday and she was very pleased with the results, but could not imagine it ever being published. three days later, sveva passed away. determined to realize the project, i continued and one year later in 1995, recapitulation was in print. sveva will always be my inspiration. sveva stressed that one should always strive to reach their highest potential - whatever that may be. i have tried to follow her advice and am deeply grateful that she was an important person in my life. \n  \n heidi thompson art gallery  \n https://heidithompson.ca/  \n  \n artistic influences:  \n mark tobey, jackson pollock, van gogh, monet, natvar bhavsar, mark rothko \n  \n  heidi thompson

27, 1994. as one of the last surviving members of the caetani family, sveva received a half-page obituary notice in the london times. \n \n \n  \n \n \n sveva caetani bequeathed the caetani house and grounds to the city of vernon and the citizens of the north okanagan, with the express wish that they be utilized for the benefit of the residents of vernon to serve as a cultural facility for artistic, cultural and critical exploration and expression.\"\"a long lineage of italian royalty \n  \n  \n  \n \n  descending from italian royalty, sveva caetani represented the last of an ancient line that traced its roots back over 1,200 years and included two medieval popes and noted politicians, academics, artists, writers, and musicians. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  sveva\u2019s father, duke leone caetani di sermoneta held 16 noble titles and was a parliamentarian and an academic who compiled the eleven volume annals of islam. he is still recognized today as one of the most influential and knowledgeable scholars of secular islam.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  partly in response to the rise of fascism in early 20th century italy, leone caetani relocated his family to the north okanagan in 1921. he had been to british columbia to go bear hunting in the kootenays in 1890s as part of a trip across north america. intrigued by the canadian wilderness, he published an account of his travels in the book, selkirks. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  leaving italy abruptly and under somewhat mysterious circumstances in august 1921, the small family arrived in vernon, bc, a village of 3,650 people in the canadian west. the family of leone caetani, ofelia fabiani and their four-year-old daughter, sveva, brought with them 33 trunks, a cook, a valet, and the family secretary and companion, miss jüül. \n  \n  \n   \n  \n  \n  a life of international luxury \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  as a young child, sveva lived a life of wealth and privilege. frequent excursions to europe included shopping for haute couture clothing with her mother in paris, having trunks designed for her family by louis vuitton, visits to the extensive family holdings in italy, and swimming and sunbathing in monte carlo. she took private art lessons from the artist andre petroff. the family was frequently attended by sveva\u2019s governesses and tutors, and always traveled with her mother\u2019s lifelong companion, miss jüül, who would continue to live with sveva until her own death in 1973. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  the economic crash of 1929 decimated most of the family\u2019s considerable fortunes. though by no means

house, then off the property for many years. during this time, ofelia also denied her daughter the artistic expression and the joys of painting and creativity that she had been brought up to enjoy

it was not until her mother\u2019s death in 1960 that sveva, now in her early 40s, began to paint, write, design, and create once again, culminating in an explosion of creativity after so many years of suppressing her talents. her economic circumstances necessitated that she work the first time in her life, and she was hired to teach at st. james elementary school in vernon. she later attended the university of victoria and obtained her teaching certificate, then returned to the north okanagan, where she taught at charles bloom secondary school in lumby for several years, she has been
