Kelowna Sculptors Network Society

Elma Eidse-Neufeld

Studied at The School of Art, at the University of Manitoba, Forum Art Institute, Manitoba and Banff School of Fine Arts as well as attended many workshops with recognized artists.

I’ve had over two dozen Solo Exhibitions and have been in many more Group Exhibitions in my lifetime.
Most of these exhibitions included paintings.

My most aggressive sculpture work is “AMATE” 32 pieces of handmade paper which was then cast into Symbols. These can be viewed on my website at www.chateauroc.com

I carved my first piece of stone a few decades ago. I joined the Kelowna Sculptors Network Society after I moved to the Okanagan from Manitoba. All the work showing here is my latest work.
