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.​
