My sculpture called EVIDENCE has been chosesn for the exhibition Places, Spaces and Traces preview show. opening reception is November 1st from 6-8 at Alternative Creations Studio 1695 Venables Street near Commercial Drive. The exhibition runs until November 18th. Please drop by and have a look.
The Exhibition has been held over until November 7th. Plenty of time to drop by and see my latest work called UNINHIBITED.
Uninhibited is a new body of work that hasn't been shown before. It will make it's debut at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island September 12th. The show will be up for 6 weeks. Plenty of time to catch a glimpse of what has been my focus for the past 8 months. I work from photos I have taken of the natural world and create a small study to experiment with colour combinations. When I enlarge the study, I use vivid colours to make the image bold and beautiful. I like to share my vision of beauty. Painting helps me engage with the natural world and to clarify and enjoy the beauty I see there. With all the fear, hate and populism in the world, I believe beauty becomes a form of resistence.
I am proud to promote this event which is happening now until Oct. 13th. many artists, inclulding myself have painted these recycled paddles to raise money for the Gogo campaigns initiated under the Stephen Lewis Foundation. You can check out the artists and their paddles. www.tikunolamgogos.org.
The tikun Olam chapter of the Gogos will host an evening fundraiser with the paddles available for bidding on the last day October 13th. Many Rivers To Cross. learn more.
The Auction was a huge success. Happy that my paddle raised $700.00 for such a good cause. Thanks to all who made the auction a huge success, especially Susan Hyde and Mary Ellen Belfore.
