SUMMARY:Tinhorn Creek Presents - Artist Talk with Alex Lavrov and Tamara Grand
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 18\, 20263:00 pm to 5:00 pm \n\nTinhorn Creek Vineyards537 Tinhorn Creek RoadOliver\, British Columbia V0H1T1External site. Opens in a new window \n\nJoin us for an intimate afternoon of art\, conversation\, and wine at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards. This complimentary artist talk brings together three West Coast artists whose work is deeply connected to place\, process\, and personal expression. \n\nSet against the backdrop of the Golden Mile Bench\, guests are invited to hear directly from the artists as they share insights into their creative practices\, inspirations\, and evolving relationships with landscape and material. The conversation will explore how memory\, emotion\, intuition\, and hands-on making shape their work\, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the artistic process. \n\nYour afternoon includes a welcome splash of wine and light charcuterie to enjoy as you settle in for thoughtful dialogue and creative exchange. \n\nAbout the Artists\n\nAlex Lavrov  \n\n\n			\n\nAlex Lavrov is a visual artist working primarily with oils on canvas\, using improvisation as his central creative method. Born in Ukraine\, he moved to Israel in 1997 at age sixteen\, facing cultural dislocation and separation from family\, which intensified his engagement with art as a means of processing emotional challenges. Over time\, his practice evolved into a tool for self-exploration and understanding the workings of the mind. In 2007\, he permanently relocated to Canada and now lives and works in the Vancouver area\, British Columbia\, continuing to create art that unfolds intuitively during the creative process. \n\nTamara Grand  \n\n\n			\n\nTamara Grand creates layered abstract paintings using acrylic\, wax pastel\, and graphite. Her work develops through a process of addition and revision\, with bold colour\, organic form\, and gestural marks accumulating and remaining partially visible. Rather than concealing earlier stages\, she allows traces of the past to emerge\, recording change over time. Her intuitive approach embraces movement\, erasure\, and reworking on canvas and birch panel. With a background in science\, she views each painting as an experiment\, inspired by nature’s shifting light\, textures\, growth\, and decay. Her practice began after the loss of her daughter\, holding grief and joy together through evolving\, unfinished transformation.

SUMMARY:Tinhorn Creek presents - Abstract Collage with Tamara Grand: Finding the Picture Within
DESCRIPTION:This abstract collage workshop is for beginners\, curious people\, and anyone who wants two hours of making without the pressure of getting it right. \n\nWe’ll use torn and cut paper and mark-making tools to build up a large surface — layering freely\, covering things up\, and changing our minds as we go. Along the way\, we’ll talk about contrast: big and small\, dark and light\, rough and smooth — the simple things that make a composition feel alive. \n\nThe best part? At the end\, you’ll use a cropping window to find the painting hiding inside your surface. It’s always in there somewhere. \n\nNo scenes to compose\, nothing to draw\, nothing that has to look like anything. Just colour\, shape\, and texture. \n\nDetails: \n\nWhat to bring: magazines\, catalogues\, wrapping paper\, tissue paper\, paper napkins\, wallpaper scraps\, maps\, sheet music — anything printed or patterned. Everything else is provided. \n\nArtist Bio:  \n\nTamara Grand creates layered abstract paintings using acrylic\, wax pastel\, and graphite.
