Roper’s art practice draws inspiration form the fields and structures in and around his home here in Strathcona County. He sketches in pastel en plein air whenever possible and his landscape paintings in oil and acrylic emphasize colour. Roper’s artwork explores colour as descriptors, opposed to creating work that describes nature.

The term ‘normal’ refers to accepted ways of behaviour. All societies set norms which limit behavior but these are always shifting. One component of society affected by changes in norms has been the LGBTQ+ ‘community’ in Canada and since the late 1960s there has been a steady progression concerning the legal rights of LGBTQ+ citizens.
While change has resulted in many positive amendments in society, however, there are those who attempt to impose a narrow definition of ‘normal’ on society.
The AFA Travelling Exhibition Re-Imaging Normal questions such aims. Combining archival materials with art works created by LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ-allied artists, this exhibition allows people’s own stories to be told so that the boundaries of what is considered ‘normal’ are questioned and possibly expanded.
