Capturing that WOW moment in time!
Marg Smith, an artist based in Okotoks, Alberta, is inspired by the wonder and beauty of colour in the world. She paints in oils, often using the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique, capturing spontaneous moments in subjects ranging from landscapes and farm animals to children, pets, and florals. Deeply influenced by life in western Canada, her work reflects the vibrancy of Alberta’s people, animals, and scenery. Marg continues to refine her craft through workshops with well-known Canadian and American artists.

JULY 4th – September 2nd
Members Show & Sale @ Okotoks Art Gallery
I’m excited to be part of this year’s Members Show and Sale at the Okotoks Art Gallery. The exhibition is on display in the Large Gallery through Sept. 2, giving visitors plenty of time to explore the incredible variety of artwork created by local artists.
It’s one of my favourite exhibitions because it brings together artists from across our community, each with their own unique style and perspective. Whether you’re interested in paintings, photography, sculpture, or mixed media, the show offers something for everyone while celebrating the creativity that exists right here in the Foothills.
For me, it’s always rewarding to have my work included in an exhibition like this. Creating art is a personal journey, and having the opportunity to share those pieces in a gallery setting alongside so many talented artists is incredibly meaningful. I hope people who visit the gallery this summer take the time to experience the collection, discover new local artists, and perhaps even find a piece that speaks to them.
