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.

Hope Springs Eternal (soft pastel), 16 x 20 @ Ottewell Centre

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.

Just Around the Corner

I am exhibiting works in two fall shows this upcoming weekend (October 26-28). One show is in St. Albert while the other show is in Sherwood Park. There will be a lot of driving back and forth between shows. Here's hoping the weather stays fine (above seasonal average) and attendance is great!  Everyone is welcome.

Busy Week Ahead

This week on Thursday I will be setting up my solo exhibition "When Calls the Land" at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Thursday evening I will be in St. Albert to host the opening reception for the Art Walk at The Bookstore on Perron Street. And then Sunday afternoon/evening I have a table at "Savour Strathcona" selling my fused glass, pottery and alcohol ink paintings. Here's hoping that I keep everything organized!

Art Walk In St. Albert

Just one more sleep and I am off to Red Deer to participate in the " For the Love of Art" show and sale at the Parkland Garden Centre. I am very excited about the opportunity to show my work in a new venue and especially such a beautiful setting ( a garden centre!!).

But I am also trying to finalize plans for the Art Walk in St. Albert. I am trying to determine which pieces I will be showing at the Bookstore on Perron Street. I have not made a decision yet but I need to decide by Tuesday June 25 (hanging day). Once I have finalized my choices I'll post the images.
Three artists, including myself, will exhibit the entire month of July at the Bookstore on Perron.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA! An Exhibition Celebrating Canada

Yikes! With all the final preparations for the Open Studio tour this weekend (June 24-25) in Sherwood Park, I forgot to post another show in which you can view some of my small mixed media pieces. I was fortunate enough to be juried into the "Glorious and Free-A Celebration of Canada" held at VASA, St. Albert. The show runs from June 27 to July 29 with the opening reception on July 6 from 6-9 p.m..

Art Walk...Only One Week Left

With all the planning for the upcoming studio tour as well as trying to gain a handle on my lawn.garden, I almost forgot about the Art Walk @ The Bookstore on Perron Street, St. Albert. There is a little over a week left before I have to take down my pieces. With the upcoming forecast sunny days, head on over to the store and check out my work.
