Spent the last week with my Dad and Uncle preparing my grandmotherβs personal archives to be donated to the Yukon Archives and the Yukon Permanent Art collection.
My grandmother, Lilian Loponen was and is perhaps one of the best and most prolific Canadian landscape painters of Northern Canada. It was incredible to be gifted this window into her meticulous creative process over nearly 50 years of practice.
The collection will be processed and available for public view within the next year!
