Val was commissioned to make a painting for the Centrefold of the fall 2008 issue of Vancouver Review magazine.
In the painting Val used Vancouver’s Queen Mary Elementary School as her subject, illustrating her optimism
for a hopeful conclusion to the debate over the future of Vancouver’s beautiful older, not-yet-earthquake-proof schools. |
