  • Cynthia Gunsinger's work is a vibrant and energetic take on the Canadian landscape, focused primarily the Okanagan Valley.  Using vivid and intense colours, she brings her art to life using influences of expressionism, impressionism, and pointillism. Visit her website or LoveForKelowna.com to view and purchase her work. 

If browsing for gift inspiration is more up your alley, mask up and keep your physical distance while browsing the shops at Orchard Park Mall, The District on Bernard or Pandosy Village. You can also pick up a variety of Kelowna and Okanagan souvenirs that make for perfect stocking stuffers at Ogopogo Giftland, Towne Centre Card Shop, and Only Deals. 

There are many other ways to support local this season like purchasing a restaurant or winery gift card, booking a winter wine or brewery tour, or having a fun and safe indoor experience with your household.
