  • Thelma Vivian Pepper SOM (born 1920 in Kingston, Nova Scotia; died 2020 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) was a Canadian artist. She was known for her work as a portrait photographer, which she took up later in life at the age of 60. Her first solo exhibition was in 1986. Themes in her photographs focus on "spirit, community, and little-known stories." Thelma’s photographs can be found in archives, galleries and institutions across Saskatchewan. She has achieved regional, national and international recognition for her work, which documents the impact of locations and economic realities on individual lives. Her artistic practice focussed on building a sense of trust with her subjects, attained by listening to their personal stories and life challenges. This trust building significantly contributed to her photographic process. The resulting portraits focus on the inner, emotional and spiritual truths of her subjects. She was especially focussed on capturing the lives and experiences of women. When she first began photographing people, she only took head-and-shoulders images. She said, "I was so wrapped up in the facial expression that it was sort of scary for me to capture what’s beyond it. But once I got to know people and got to see where they homesteaded, it was much easier for me to take larger images, to include the environment." In addition to photography, Pepper also interviewed many women in long term care homes and isolated communities about their lives on the Prairies. Her photographs of elders in small towns are framed through a lens of compassion, dignity and intimacy, characterized by her curiosity and warmth, which put her subjects at ease. (en)
