CanwaxWest, the Penticton-based western Canadian association of encaustic artists, presents “Brilliant Moments”. The exhibition title was given to the annual show of encaustic art when teacher, founder and mentor, the late Thea Haubrich introduced encaustic painting to the local art community.

This year “Brilliant Moments”, now under the umbrella of CanwaxWest (an association Thea Haubrich dreamed of establishing), includes a special event celebrating Thea’s work and her influence.   At Leir House Cultural Centre, a permanent installation, the Thea Haubrich Memorial Wall will be revealed at the Opening Reception for “Brilliant Moments”, on May 6 from 6-8 pm.
