Eileen Harrison
Born in 1947 on Long Island, New York, Eileen spent most of her life in Canada as a teacher and teacher librarian with a deep love of art and learning.
After settling in Campbell River, she became especially inspired by the Indigenous artistic community of Vancouver Island, including the work of Roy Henry Vickers and Mark Hobson, building a meaningful collection that reflected her appreciation for Indigenous art and the West Coast landscape.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of Live Music, Fine Art, and Community Connection in support of a meaningful cause.
Set within the beautiful Hospice Serenity Gardens, A Night of Jazz & Art will feature live jazz performed by the talented The Mel McCutcheon Quartet, along with wine & refreshments provided throughout the evening.
Guests will enjoy live and silent auction, along with an art sale showcasing more than 65 donated works from the personal collection of Eileen Harrison, featuring a variety of artistic mediums and styles.
We are also very proud to feature original West Coast landscape works by fine artist Jo C Willems.
All proceeds from the evening will support the Campbell River Hospice Society and the Hearts for Hospice cycling team as they participate in the Cycle of Life Tour.
