This season, the Henry Nolla Gallery is pleased to welcome Sarah Boileau, a Nanaimo-based artist whose oil paintings reflect her deep connection to the natural world. Born in Fort St. James, Sarah’s early years were shaped by her mother’s love of photography and the outdoors – an influence that continues to guide her creative vision.

Largely self-taught, Sarah paints in a representational style that captures the beauty and contrasts of the landscape through strong sculptural forms and fleeting light. Her inspiration comes from exploring and photographing the forests and beaches of Vancouver Island, where she now lives and paints full-time.

In her own words, Sarah seeks to create artwork that embodies the spirit of nature, reminding us of its enduring ability to ground, inspire, and restore. We invite you to explore her collection at the Gallery throughout the fall.
