“The inspiration for Anna Syperek’s poetic realism comes from an intuitive rapport with her own surroundings, in and about the town and county of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. For Syperek, the everyday is significant and marvelous subject matter. Whether it be a pasture up the back road, a season in transition, or a toothbrush tossed in a glass, she creates a kind of mythology for what you might not have noticed before. Her faith in the inherent truth that lies in the natural brings her to an honest and reverent rendering of light and atmosphere with gentle, true colour.” – Beth Parker – Lyghtesome Gallery

JOURNEY by Anna Syperek. video : https://vimeo.com/318313408
A major project of 2018 was a series of five panels (5 by 13 feet) painted by Anna to honour the Sisters of St. Martha and their legacy. The sisters have had to move into a new building and are now in the process of demolishing Bethany, their much beloved but unsustainable motherhouse. The artwork was commissioned by the Town of Antigonish, The Municipality of the County of Antigonish, St. Francis Xavier University and St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Foundation to be displayed in their new residence to convey the community’s appreciation of the many caring, innovative, positive and lasting contributions made by the Sisters to Antigonish, as well as to the larger community.
