An Overwhelming Sense of Awe
September 26, 2012
My time here in Reykjavik is quickly coming to an end, as I prepare for our group exhibition tomorrow at the SIM Residency. After working pretty much non-stop for 3 weeks, I’ve finished the second drawing from my pretty boys kill me series, so I thought I deserved a bit of a break! A friend and [...]

Living in Colour
September 16, 2012
I’m busy in the studio everyday here in Reykjavik working on my drawing, and on the few sunny days, I’ve walked around town taking photos. Reykjavik is a very colourful city, as I’ve posted photos of all the different coloured buildings previously here, but it’s also a city with a lot of graffiti and street [...]

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost
September 9, 2012
I’ve now been in Iceland for a week, and I’m well into my first drawing. I also managed to spend some time sightseeing around the city and visiting some of the local tourist hotspots around Reykjavik as well as swimming with the locals at the thermal pools near me. I’m trying to balance work with [...]

Color Kids in Rainbow Land
September 4, 2012
If you grew up in the 80s, you are probably familiar with the character Rainbow Brite. I think, perhaps after the series finished, the Color Kids came to Reykjavik to retire. On my walk earlier this week, I took lots of photos of all the different buildings and houses, and I was amazed at all [...]

Photo Diary: Tofino & Ucluelet
June 28, 2012
I’ve been busy working on a project, which I’ll talk more about in the upcoming weeks. It’s something that I will be continuing on a residency in Reykjavik, Iceland this September, which I’m extremely excited about. It never crossed my mind that I would ever be going to Reykjavik, and certainly not on an artist [...]

Photo Diary Part 4: London
May 30, 2012
The last leg of my Europe trip was a quick visit to London. Too quick, in my opinion, but I had to get back to Vancouver after a couple of weeks off. There will be more travels to be had later on in the year, so for now, I had to have only a short [...]

Photo Diary Part 3: Madrid
May 29, 2012
I was really excited about this part of my trip, as I have never been to Spain before. I’ve heard so many good things about Madrid from friends who have been, from the architecture to the food to the art, and I was not disappointed! I think of the entire trip, my favourite art moments [...]

Photo Diary Part 2: Positano & Capri
May 27, 2012
So the main reason for this trip to Italy was for my sister’s wedding in Positano. There were no Italians involved in the wedding. My sister and her fiancé just wanted to get married in Italy, and why not! They certainly picked a beautiful location for the wedding. Positano is on the Amalfi Coast, and [...]
