The Cochrane Public Library is pleased to present an artist meet and greet with Calgary artist Kelly Isaak in conjunction with her TREX (Travelling Exhibition Program) exhibition, "Alone Together," on display at the library from April 17 to May 14, 2025.
"Alone Together" is a solo exhibition of hyper-realistic pencil crayon portraits by Kelly Isaak. These are not just generic portraits; during one of the more severe COVID-19 lockdowns in Alberta, Isaak invited people on Instagram to submit their isolation photographs, which she then drew. Isaak's work captures a communal familiarity in the isolated experiences we faced. The series shines a light on those times when we felt alone, yet navigated those moments together as a community.
Join us for this special opportunity to meet Kelly Isaak and hear her discuss "Alone Together," her artistic process, and the stories behind her captivating portraits. Time permitting, Kelly will also lead a short drawing demonstration for attendees.
