Adrian Livesley (96) presents his first solo gallery show at the Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver.

Since graduating, Livesley has travelled to diverse settings around the world including Finland, Ireland, Cyprus, Mexico and rural British Columbia, to paint directly from the surrounding visual environment.
