Island Mountain Arts presents a guided residency led by Peter Corbett, one of BC’s premier plein air oil painters. This guided residency is designed to help visual artists explore their studio practice all-the-while being immersed in the beautiful and historic backdrop of Wells in the Winter. Participants will have an opportunity to go out in the field to paint.

Participants will be given the option of staying in the new IMA residency multi-occupancy building “the Nest” or the historic Wells Hotel. Each Artist will be provided with 24hr access to large bright art studios as well as scheduled critiques, demonstrations, and ongoing hands-on work with Peter.

Peter Corbett is considered by many to be one of western Canada’s leading plein air oil painters. Peter has been shown extensively in both public and commercial galleries, been the recipient of numerous awards and has been a mentor and teacher in various capacities. He is also a professional biologist, former outdoor adventure guide, and loves to share his enthusiasm for nature while painting out-of-doors.
