The squids and the whales

The squids and the whales...living in harmony. Not the traditional tale of these two creatures, but the harmony of these two, & many more creatures has inspired my latest piece.  I'd say if you were to look back in 100 years and label the last 10 years of my artistic career, it would be called 'the rainbow period'.  I am always drawn to the energy  of these bright beautiful pigments. It's really great to be back in the studio imagining and painting with out any time frame and expectation for results. 
      

Thank you to everyone who attended the opening and supported me through out the many months of prep.  Thank you to Johanne and Festival du Bois for the great opportunity to be part of this tradition and celebration. The night was a great success.  I cant believe it's been up almost a month now and the show comes down this Sunday.  

I will take the next months to re-group my thoughts and enjoy some "free flow" creative process.  The season's finally changing, the flowers are blooming and with this come new life and creation...I think I will follow suit.

"Not Out of the Woods"

This Thursday, Feb 27th, 2014, I have a show opening at Place des Arts in Coquitlam. "Not Out Of The Woods" it's part of the 25th Annual Festival du Bois.  www.festivaldubois.ca

For me, this show will focus on the Coexistence of Man & Nature. I had a lot of enjoyment realizing the works for this show. I spend a lot of my time on thoughtful reflect of this topic as does my wonderful family, who through many discussions, helped with the inspiration for these works. 

I hope you will enjoy what I came up with!  Come see!!
