Velma Surette from Yarmouth Waterfront Gallery on Vimeo.

Velma lives in the Acadian Village of West Pubnico, along with her husband. From an early interest in art and colours, Velma has developed a natural talent to become an artist. Relying on her own ongoing interest and the occasional workshop, Velma has steadily progressed from her early efforts in oils to produce works in acrylics and, more recently, watercolours. Her works are distinctive, with an emphasis on strong use of colour.

With boundless enthusiasm, Velma continues to grow as an artist, participated in the 2003 Lunenburg Craft Festival and the 2002 Grou Tyme in Halifax. In recent years, her work has been featured in Grand-Pre, at the Village Historique Acadien de la Nouvelle-Ecosse (West Pubnico) as well as in the annual exhibit by Pubnico area artists at the West Pubnico Acadian Gallery.

Velma is a founding member of the Yarmouth Waterfront Gallery. She is also a member of the Yarmouth County Arts Society, Le Conseil des Arts de Clare and Le Conseil des arts de Par-en-Bas.
