The work of several people who, like Richter, straddle those two worlds, is now on display as part of the Alberta Society of Artists ASA Immigrants of Distinction art show at the ASA Gallery at Lougheed House and german-born painter Karin Richter muses about the similarities between immigrants and artists, two categories in which she finds herself.
