The Journey of a Contemporary Artist

Well since everybody seems to be blogging about everything out there I thought I would blog about what I'm most passionate about...artwork! The pastime that I had chosen a few years ago to "get away from it all" has now become much more important to me. It relaxes me, inspires me and gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment that little else does (well, other than my girls, of course!).

I hope to have a few of you tag along with me on this journey of discovery (of both my artwork as well as this blogging thingy).

Wish me luck!

New Season - New Paintings - New Events


Well, as I said goodbye to "Bright Future" I embrassed some new challenges over the past couple of months. I have completed 4 new paintings and have 2 others on the go. Three of the 4 completed ones have been entered into the 2010 Gamblin Torrit Grey Competition so I will keep you posted on how that goes although the results aren't usually out until the new year.

I also have created a business card for myself so that I can feel and present myself as a truly professional artist. Exciting!

And I have also been jury selected to show 2 paintings at the Fall Art Gallery Walk by TU Gallery on 124th Street. It will be a group show of artists from the St-Albert Artists Colony. I am VERY excited about that opportunity! I hope to see many of my friends and co-workers there to show their support (hint hint!!)

So stay tuned for some more paintings in the next couple of weeks and don't forget to comment to let me know your thoughts and ideas!
