Artist of the Month - April 2024
Mary Sun
I'm Mary Sun. I started learning how to paint in my 70s.
In 2019, I joined the China Dapeng Traditional Chinese Painting Academy where I studied how to paint flowers, birds, landscapes, figures as well as sketching.
Last year I enrolled in the City of Burnaby’s Bonsor 55+ oil and water colour painting classes to improve my painting skills.
Now I am painting with the Bonsor 55+ Society’s Open Art Studio group, which is a lovely group of painters that I can now call my friends.
They are all excellent and we have a lot of fun learning from each other.
