HOT OFF THE PALETTE

This is a 10x12” of a photo taken in my friend’s backyard. Can’t wait to sit outside in the warmth...

Here's my latest piece. I went back-country camping last summer. Gorgeous scenery in every direction.

UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA GOVERNANCE DEPT

I hosted a series of workshops for the UofA Governance Dept team. We collaborated on this 4x8 foot diptych. Each member of the team worked on individual mixed media "identity" collages. Then many more took part creating the "leaves" for our trees in Kandinsky's style.  I incorporated them into our "Governance Grove". What an awesome experience for this left-brained artist to work creatively with a group of people who run the complex business of the university!

Rumour has it this mural will be in the UofA permanent collection & is in the process of being mounted in the main sitting area of the governance dept office.

MOST AMBITIOUS ART INSTALLATION!

This is a 20 x 8 foot mural with each of the students' clay pieces mounted to it. Yes, it took a feat of engineering to stabilize, but it's secure!

A handful of willing teachers helped paint my initial design onto the boards. Students each made a themed clay piece for our "MY NEIGHBOURHOOD" mural. And...tah dah...amazing!

It's installed in Mount Royal Elementary School's library. They will be moving to a new location in a few years and they're expecting to move the installation as well. To be continued...

FEATURED AT SQUARE ONE COFFEE SHOP

I'm happy to be featured at Square One Coffee Shop again from July until the end of November along with my friend Rosemary West. It's such a great place to see the cumulation of paintings I've been working on displayed in a beautiful cafe. I highly recommend a cup of their lavender tea and buying local art!

TEC 245 OTTAWA WORKSHOP OCTOBER 2018

I was invited to do a painting workshop with a business group from Edmonton that was having their yearly retreat in Ottawa.  I did one of my favourite projects with the members and their spouses. This was the collaboration we created. 

The original piece was auctioned off at their Christmas party with all proceeds going to the Edmonton  Food Bank. Prints were also made of the piece with all those monies directed to the Food Bank as well.
