A new exhibit has opened at UVic’s Legacy Art Galleries. The exhibit rose out of conversations between artist Lynda Gammon and curator Dr. Carolyn Butler-Palmer, and focuses on the hidden representation of female-identifying artists in the University of Victoria’s Art Collection.

Dr. Butler-Palmer is the Williams Legacy Chair at the University of Victoria, as well as Associate Professor in the university’s Department of Art History & Visual Studies. Her area of expertise is Modern and Contemporary arts of the Pacific Northwest.

The Wildflowers Around Victoria Painted on Silk, works by Elizabeth Yeend Duer, is a monograph edited by Dr. Butler-Palmer that is available on the University of Victoria’s institutional repository, UVicSpace. We are thrilled to have this, and other scholarly works like it, in the repository!
