An Unusual Show

I decided to challenge myself by entering a textile and fibre show. It was an "open" competition (no jurying involved, thank goodness) so I took a couple monoprints that were laying around and decided to incorporate elements more frequently associated with textiles into their composition. This activity required that I "think outside the box". I am quite pleased with the results of both pieces (don't know how the pieces will stand up compared to other mixed media works) but,overall, I enjoyed the process and the result. 

What Lies Beneath 

Winter Thaw...Spring Thaw and Spring Shows

With winter finally behind us and spring on the horizon, the art shows are coming fast and furious. I have works in several group exhibitions; the first show is this weekend (March 29-31) at the Ottewell Centre/Red Barn in Sherwood Park.

The next show is in St. Albert at the Hemingway Centre (VASA) for their annual spring members show. Two of my works were juried into this show. I also have two works in the "Uncommon Threads" exhibition in Spruce Grove. (April 16 to May 3).

 I also have a solo exhibition at the Glenrose Hospital of my acrylic "quilt paintings" which opens tomorrow (March 29) and runs until June 27.
