About the Artist:
Amber-Lynn Thorne describes herself as "an artist who owes everything to the ocean." She is from Thornlea, NL, on the isthmus of the Avalon Peninsula, where generations of her family have fished. She is an interdisciplinary visual artist and graduate of the Visual Arts Program at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland. Her practice incorporates imagery symbolic of the fishery and the ocean. Her work represents a reflection on, and metaphorical continuation of, her family’s fishing legacy.
Events & Programs
Voices from the First World War
Join us as we bring history to life through a dramatized reading of original letters and diary entries from the First World War era.
Through the words of soldiers, nurses, and those who remained on the Homefront, this program offers an intimate glimpse into the hopes, fears, and resilience of those who lived through one of the most defining conflicts of the 20th century. These authentic voices—preserved in letters and journals—reveal the deeply human side of war, from the trenches to the hearth.
