We have had the pleasure of having received consignments of three rare Sybil Andrews linocut prints, “Fall of the Leaf”, “Logging Team” and “Ploughing Pasture”. Sybil led a fascinating life as an international artist who settled in Campbell River where she worked and taught until her death at 94. Her blue oceanfront cottage in Willow Point has been restored as a heritage site belonging to the Sybil Andrews Heritage Society, with an Artist in Residency program in place. In 2007 the City of Campbell River issued a proclamation that April 19, Sybil’s birthday, would be known as Sybil Andrews Day in recognition of her impact on the community. My father Uno Langmann knew Sybil Andrews well and helped market her work, and recently donated five of her original paintings to the Campbell River Arts Council.
