After studying Fine Art at Mount Allison University, Mary Pratt (b. 1935) settled in Newfoundland with her husband and strove to pursue her passion for painting amidst the demands of raising a family.

Summary:
For about three centuries in many different countries, a scrapbook or album became the most immediate manner of diary making. In Ireland, this often took on a particular and idiosyncratic form. From the late 1960s until the early 1990s, the turmoil of Northern Ireland was often reflected in these hand-constructed books. Clippings from newspapers, family photos and personal mementos often found their way into highly individual collaged records of daily life. Donovan Wylie and Timothy Prus have recreated a non-sectarian version with the benefit of hindsight.

Summary:
With her monumental, epic paintings Verhoeven’s work appears to examine the collective memory of ceremonial gatherings, behind which a landscape of nightmares and ghostly phenomena is concealed. Verhoeven makes a conscious choice to allude to historical art by making references to artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Goya and De Chirico in her work. In addition, she appropriates source material from family archives, newspapers, paparazzi photographs and scenes from films. Using this mix, she creates complex paintings in which different imageries, epochs and psychological conditions clash. This catalogue accompanies the first retrospective exhibition of her work.
