You are invited to attend “Making of an artist: Pnina Granirer” at Congregation Emanu-El Synagogue, Victoria, BC, May 2 at 7 pm. Entry is by donation: book signing to follow: light refreshments will be served.

After a long career as a visual artist, Pnina Granirer published her memoir Light Within The Shadows last year. Congregation Emanu-El Adult Education Team invites you to the synagogue on May 2, 2018, at 7 pm when Pnina will share her story with us. Born in Romania in 1935, she moved to Israel in 1950 and came to Canada in 1965. Throughout her life, she has created a large body of art while searching for beauty and spirituality. She will speak to us of her successes and failures and how issues of dislocation, otherness, being a woman and the uprooted soul’s wish for permanency and belonging shaped her art. She will offer us insight into how art is forged and released into the world.

Pnina Granirer has exhibited her work locally, nationally and internationally since 1962. She has shown in more than eighty solo exhibitions. Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions, and in books and exhibition catalogues in Canada, Israel, Spain, Portugal, Costa Rica and Chile. Her works are found in many private and Public Galleries collections in Canada (some as Cultural Property donations), the US, Chile, Europe and Israel. Recently her triptych Sorrow, Hope, Truth has been hung in Government House, Victoria BC.
