In the Fall of 2014, Canadian artist Marie Danielle Leblanc embarked upon
world travels which took her on a two month journey to Nepal, followed by a
trip to Italy. By mid-November, Marie was
trekking in Annapurna in Nepal and several days later in Thorong La over 17,769
feet above sea level.
The new solo
exhibit, A Trek Across Nepal at Elisa Contemporary Art is inspired by
these travels. The exhibit opened at the Riverdale Gallery on April
25, 2015, the day the first devastating earthquake hit that region.
In light of the recent
earthquake in Nepal, a portion of all the gallery sales from this exhibit will
be donated to relief efforts in Nepal through AmeriCares and Charity: Water.
Please join us for a special fundraising event on Saturday, May 16th from 4-6pm and meet Marie Danielle and hear her stories of this extraordinary place.
