Kendra Smith (now Kendra Dixson) returned to Tree Line Studios on February 14th, 2009 for her eigth annual art show at Sun Peaks Ski Resort, just outside of Kamloops, BC.
"This year my goal was to explore my creativity. I had a wonderful time playing with colour, line and design. One of my close family friends said that 'The world today needs lightness and love and hope. I think your painting portray that.' That means a lot to me."
Here is a link to a poster of the original paintings Kendra had at the art show: http://www.kendraart.com/images/2009_SunPeaks_artShow_KendraArt.pdf

The show was a big success with over 250 people at the opening. We had many comments on the quality of work and the ambiance of the Chateau. The Hotel is actually the old “Cominco Mining Office”. The ambience is wonderful. The Architect who designed it is from Calgary.
The Chateau Kimberley had an art show last year called “Champagne and Chocolates”. The Chateau had people come in from all over to stay because they heard about the artwork. They had over 200 people attend the opening.
