Artist and writer Pnina Granirer will talk about her book LIGHT WITHIN THE SHADOWS; a Painter’s Memoir

Sunday, February 3, 2:30 – 4 pm.

Free event

 In this compelling memoir Granirer shares her successes and failures, addressing issues of dislocation, ‘otherness,’ and the uprooted soul’s wish for permanency and belonging. Beautifully written, told with wry optimism, humour and appreciation for life, Light Within the Shadows gives an inside view of how art is forged in the soul and released into the world.

This lively and moving memoir of an artist, a wife and a mother, unfolds through Romania, Israel, the US, Montreal and Vancouver. It describes her experiences with wars and upheavals and challenging political social and cultural situations. Granirer’s works are found in numerous private and public collections in Canada, the US, Spain, Chile and Israel.
