Hoppy a portrait of Elisabeth Hopkins

Summary: Although a latecomer to the professional art scene, Elisabeth Hopkins has achieved success. In this program, the 88-year-old Canadian artist is seen--and heard--as she talks and paints her way through an interview. Fiercely independent, she lives alone and enjoys it. Scenes from her paintings, wittily underscored by a creative soundtrack, mix easily with scenes of her life on Galiano Island off the southern coast of British Columbia and at the Bau-Xi Gallery in Toronto where her paintings are eagerly snapped up.
