Prince George artist and College of New Caledonia fine arts instructor Betty Kovacic has been awarded $19,500 from the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund to create her largest piece of work ever.
Besides teaching full-time at her home and at CNC, Kovacic will spend much of the next two years working on a six-by-16-foot painting, tentatively titled "Shadows of the Past," to commemorate and recognize the experiences of ethno-cultural communities affected by Canada's first national internment operations from 1914 to 1920.
