"Consolation" by Linda Wilder

Top Notch

With gorgeous paintings by Canadian artists such as Linda Wilder (“Consolation,” pictured) lining the walls, it’s little wonder Mountain Galleries at the Fairmont won the Fine Art category in our 2011 Where to Shop Awards. This winter, keep an eye out for works exploring the mountain culture and landscape by 12 major artists, including Corrinne Wolcoski and Robert Genn.—Kristina Urquhart
