Meant To Fly
A powerful beacon of growth and new beginning, the butterfly signifies the power of transformation and the incredible feats we can achieve when we trust ourselves. We all have the ability to listen to our innate wisdom, guide ourselves through difficult times, and emerge better and stronger than before. We are all "Meant to Fly".

Ashes to
On July 1, 2021 in Kamloops, a fire between Juniper Ridge and Valleyview spread quickly threatening homes above and below it, forcing the evacuation of residents in the communities. Their stories gave rise to an idea in Pasmen’s artist’s mind — to create art from the ash and charcoal remains of a once-vibrant forested landscape and donate money raised from sales to wildfire evacuees and Kamloops Fire Fighters charity. She began doodling right away, learning to use the new medium. Within days, she had mastered the new sketching technique, using the charred wood from the burnt trees. The art is a stunning portrayal of the localized fire that threatened so many homes in her communities and others in BC.

If Only She Knew
If Only She Knew introduces the audience to images showing the strength and ability of women of all ages hold within them. Following the wave of empowerment from the "Me Too" movement, Pasmen takes a unique and thought provoking look at what it means to stand up for equality. Of the 47 pieces on display, some push the limits of showing the struggles women face while others highlights the strength and greatness they possess.
