Artist Meet & Greet with Kelly Isaak
2025-04-29 18:00 - 19:30 | Cochrane Public Library, 405 Railway Street W, Cochrane, Alberta
The Cochrane Public Library is pleased to present an artist meet and greet with Calgary artist Kelly Isaak in conjunction with her TREX (Travelling Exhibition Program) exhibition, “Alone Together,” on display at the library from April 17 to May 14, 2025.
“Alone Together” is a solo exhibition of hyper-realistic pencil crayon portraits by Kelly Isaak. These are not just generic portraits; during one of the more severe COVID-19 lockdowns in Alberta, Isaak invited people on Instagram to submit their isolation photographs, which she then drew. Isaak’s work captures a communal familiarity in the isolated experiences we faced. The series shines a light on those times when we felt alone, yet navigated those moments together as a community.
Join us for this special opportunity to meet Kelly Isaak and hear her discuss “Alone Together,” her artistic process, and the stories behind her captivating portraits. Time permitting, Kelly will also lead a short drawing demonstration for attendees.

ABOUT THE ARTIST SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE
Denise Bryan, known by her Inuinaqtun name Angasina, is a proud descendant of the Copper-Inuit from the northern community of Kugluktuk, Nunavut (formerly Coppermine, NWT). She now resides in Calgary with her husband, Ken Bryan, the love of her life. Angasina was named by her grandfather after her great-grandmother from Alaska, a name that carries deep familial and cultural significance. Growing up on the land with her family, Denise spent weekends camping, hunting, fishing, and trapping. These experiences were enriched by the making of traditional clothing such as mukluks, seal fur mitts, parkas, and carry bags. Her family also prepared traditional foods like caribou, seal, arctic char, whitefish, and occasionally beluga whale. Denise’s artistic talents were nurtured by watching her grandfather’s drawings and carvings, as well as her grandmother’s sewing. Today, she continues to honor her heritage by creating her own Inuit clothing, drawings, and paintings, keeping her culture alive and vibrant.
