NKMB Christmas Display

I've had the pleasure of joining NKMB's new art group, a collection of artists from all backgrounds and ages united together to explore our creative gifts and how we can use those to honour God. Our first art display is on now through the Christmas season in the lobby at NKMB. Each artist was inspired by different verses in the Christmas story. Here is my contribution:

"The vessel"

Graphite on paper, 2025

Reflecting on Elizabeth's miraculous pregnancy we are presented with lessons of enduring faithfulness and trusting in God's divine plans. Our grief and longing does not go unseen and by leaning into our faith God will light our way, for He has a plan for us all.

Return to the farm

Gallery in the Park in Altona, Manitoba

Hollande Bezan pays tribute to her family’s agricultural roots with a thoughtful series of 40 paintings in Return to the farm. Anchored in the rural landscape just north of Inglis, Manitoba, this body of work explores over a century of connection to the land, honouring the Bezan family and its enduring legacy through five generations.

Bezan draws from her memory and return visits to the farm. Her view hovers at the threshold of its domestic and outdoor spaces, exploring the passage of time, its cyclical nature, and rituals. She depicts the quiet transformation of place via weathered barns, pastures, and intimate corners of her grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ adjoining farms. These works serve not only as an homage but also as a meditation on continuity, impermanence, and how the farm’s significance is cultivated across time.
