Come Visit This Weekend

I’m showing some of my new work inspired by ideas of Alchemy.

Also – I’ll have some ATC’s (Artist Trading Cards) for you to browse at–and create your own!

The 2 books I created with Keith Wilkinson’s poetry will be available for $10 each – and of course the art is for sale!

Here are some photos from the ATC workshop at the Roundhouse. I’ll have some of the same things available for you to play, create and trade.

Revolutions and Resolutions

Lunar and Solar Cycles

Art Show of Artists who live in Vancouver Point Grey*
February-March, 2016

CALL FOR ARTISTS
We enter a new year according to the lunisolar calendar. Feb. 6 starts the 15 day Spring Festival known as Chinese or Lunar New Year.
At this time we often reflect on the cycles of the seasons and the cycles of our lives.
The winter solstice is well behind us and the days are getting longer. In Vancouver, snowdrops are beginning to bloom and many buds and shoots are all around us.
Meanwhile the moon continues its 28 day cycles from new to full and back again.
Chinese New Year and Easter are among the festivals whose date varies according to both sun and moon cycles—the lunisolar calendar.
Art in this show will offer a variety of creative responses to the coming season of spring and the cycles of moon and sun, as both cosmic orbs and as rich metaphors for our own revolutions and resolutions
