With the return of our live festival this July VI MusicFest has again called upon the talented artist Laura Jayne to create the 2022 poster image. The MusicFest team was first drawn to Laura’s work in 2020 and asked her to create an image for the poster. Sadly, due to the pandemic, that year the Festival and Laura’s work didn’t receive the exposure it deserved. “When the Vancouver Island MusicFest team contacted me this year to do their poster again, I was obviously super stoked to have another shot. After hearing the MusicFest team’s ideas I started to visualize how I would do the piece almost immediately,” explained Laura. “I did one sketch quite quickly and after some feedback ‘SHE’ came out. My heart was pounding with excitement and I couldn’t wait to hear their reaction.” The image ‘SHE’ feels very natural and free flowing. It gives an authentic sense of Vancouver Island’s nature, the music, its people and a sense of how everything is connected. Needless to say the MusicFest team loved it! “This image speaks to the incredibly gifted female artists who will be performing on our stages this summer,” say Doug Cox, MusicFest Artistic Director.
