McKenna Prather
Autumnal

  • Autumnal | Artist Reception 2-5pm October 25th 25 October - 11 November 2025

    Join us for the artist reception on Saturday, October 25, from 2–5 PM at Gibson Fine Art as we unveil Within Her View featuring the newest body of work by Calgary-based artist McKenna Prather.

     

    Prather merges painting and embroidery to create tactile, multidimensional works—blending realistic acrylic layers with delicate hand-stitched details. Inspired by Canadian landscapes, wildlife, and folk traditions, her pieces invite close exploration, weaving intricate textures with personal narratives. Each work embodies a fusion of craftsmanship and creativity, bringing warmth and detail to any space
