New Works at Rosie's In the Park

So today I dropped some work at Rosie's in the Park (114 Athabascan Ave, Sherwood Park). These works will be on display until the end of the year. They are all small pieces with "Cezanne Serenade" being the largest at 14 x 16 inches (framed). Stop by and have a look. There are three other artists from our local art society who also have their work on display there.

New VASA show FAST approaching

While I am preparing for this upcoming weekend's Culture Days at the Red Barn/Ottewell Centre (Sherwood Park), I would be remiss not to mention that I was fortunate enough to be juried into another VASA show in St. Albert. "Mystical, Magical, Fantasy" is the title of this month long exhibition which runs from October 3-28 with the opening/artist reception on Thursday October 5.

Alberta Culture Days 14 days and counting...

It has been a while since I posted and quite a bit has happened. I participated in the Kaleido Family Arts Festival which was a great success with wonderful weather and strong support. I was very fortunate to sell my pastel work that was shown at the Nina Haggery Centre during this festival.

 I am now preparing about the Alberta Culture Days which will be held on September 30 from 10-3 p.m. in the Red Barn/Ottewell Centre (Sherwood Park). I hope to showcase some of my photography, pastel works and my fused glass pieces. Hope that many will stop by for a visit and a chat!!

New Show on the Horizon @ Ottewell Centre

I have just received notification that two of my art pieces have been accepted into the "Celebrating Canadian Art " in October at the Ottewell Centre/Red Barn. This exhibition will be open October 13-15 and October 20-22. More details of this event will be presented in future blogs.

Getting into Photography

During my visit to Drumheller last week I started to take some photographs at the Atlas Coal Mine. I have decided to frame a couple of these photos to see the public response. For the others, I will simply mat them for sale. I am hoping to have some of these photos in the Loft Gallery, Sherwood Park for the months of September and October.

Kaleido Festival...In the Art Show

I am fortunate enough to have one of my pieces accepted for the Kaleido Family Festival running this September. It will on display at the Nina Haggerty Centre. Come out with the entire family for this GREAT weekend event!

Provincial Show in Sherwood Park-An Invitation

Yikes! It has been a while since I posted anything on my blog what with holiday travel, making sour cherry jam and family sickness (awful summertime colds) taking up most of my time in the last few weeks. I haven't even been able to get to do any art (although I am determined that next week I am setting time aside NO MATTER WHAT). I do want to mention that there is the Alberta Community Art Clubs Association show being held in Sherwood Park @ the Red Barn/Ottewell Centre, This show highlights winners from the three zone shows. It runs from July 19 to August 13 with the Red Barn being open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10-4. I was lucky enough to have a couple pieces in the show( although they did not win at the zone level). So, if you want to see some great art from across the province come on out!
