The words “whimsical” and “wonky” come to mind when describing Coquitlam artist Rose Kapp’s illustrations, cartoons and designs.

Her signature style can be seen in a new solo show that opens Friday at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam).

Titled Character Building, her exhibit in the Mezzanine Gallery features 21 watercolour and ink images of distinct structures in the Tri-Cities.

Kapp’s fun artwork also extends to the seventh floor of the Teck Acute Care Centre, in a mural created for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Children’s Healing Experience Project.

Locally, Kapp is also known for her Creative People Talking group and with the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club; the latter will host its annual show on Oct. 26.
