Happy Friday! Today we're sharing the work of Lena Daling from the AGP #PermanentCollection

Lena Daling was born in 1922 in Indonesia. Her family moved to the Netherlands in 1935. In 1946 she married a farmer and emigrated to Canada where she raised her six children. 

Daling received formal training in Fine Art from Fleming College, graduating in 1977. She maintained a close contact with Canadian sculptor Cecil Richards who encouraged her to carve in wood. Over her career, Lena Daling participated in a number of group exhibitions in the region, including at the Art Gallery of Peterborough in 1987.
