During the 1950's and 1960's, Hermia had several summer art shows at Elvira's Art Emporium on West 10th Avenue and in a friend's backyard at 12th and Sasamat in Vancouver. Numerous paintings were sold and we are unaware who purchased them or whether they have been passed on to a relative or friend. Some may have ended up in garage sales when a family downsized their belongings.
Hermia sometimes photographed the painting or sketch when she sold it. If you have a Hermia painting and it is not in the website gallery, we would like to include a colour photograph of it, as part of her life's work. The owner's permission would be acknowledged with a note that the piece is in their collection.
Below are black and white photos of some of the missing art. Please let us know if you own one (or more) and whether we can include them in the gallery.
Thank you. Alastair Fraser
