Sept. 13, 2024 At the meeting of the Associates of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, guest speaker Maidie Hilmo gave a presentation which was titled "Searching for Carle Hessay: The Immigrant Artist who Shaped my Life."

"Because of Hessay’s influence on her interest in art, Maidie considers it both a pleasure and her responsibility to share his legagy through efforts such as giving presentations on his artwork. She illustrated her talk to the Associates with multiple slides of Hessay’s paintings, covering his wide range of styles from abstract to traditional and his diverse themes."
