The Sam Waller Museum is hosting a new exhibit in the Susan McCharles Gallery. Residual Effects by Crystal Thorburn is now on display until May 20, 2025. Thorburn’s work is part of the Manitoba Arts Network’s Visual Arts Touring Exhibition. This thought-provoking show invites visitors to reflect on themes of responsibility and resilience through evocative artwork.
Thorburn grew up in the Saskatchewan Prairies, which has greatly influenced much of her artwork today.
“After many years living in Melville, Saskatchewan, my husband and I moved back to the farm that has been in our family for 116 years in southern Saskatchewan,” said Thorburn. “This new lifestyle has brought out a keen awareness of various elements of the seasons on the prairies in southern Saskatchewan. We follow a regenerative farming practice and produce organic grains.
