ART GALLERY OF REGINA

Nicolette Vanderschaaf is an immersive of prairie landscapes, rarely travelling without her bulky camera to capture the diminishing winged fauna hidden in the last pockets of untrammelled native ecosystems. Birds of Prayer is her latest series based on the images she’s captured–with elements of classic iconography, imparting the sacred and ephemeral nature of the holy to the natural world. The symbolism of the saintly, the prerequisite of miracle, and the veneration of Holy works elevate the overlooked and implore respect and reverence for these threatened species.
