August has proven to be a busy month! Usually things slow down a bit in the summer, but this year lots has been happening, with the drawing exhibition at Dynamo to painting commissions to moving studios. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and catch my breath yet, but there is still too much to do. I’m looking forward to taking a couple of weeks off in September, but in the meantime, it’s good to be busy with art!
The print launch of “Love Is Touching Souls” went really well this past weekend, and I was featured on a couple of websites promoting it and my work. The first one was Canadian Art, which listed the print launch as a Must-See chosen from art openings occurring last week across Canada.
Secondly, I was interviewed by Alex Quicho of Vancouver Is Awesome blog, for their art feature, THE OPENING. It was a fun interview about the print edition, my past and current work, astrology and myths, and high school matchmaking services. The interview can be read on the VIA website here.
Lastly, I’ve moved studios – which was a small but big endeavour as I didn’t realize just how much work I’ve accumulated over the years and how many materials and sketchbooks and loose papers I have. I moved into the studio at the beginning of this month and have started working in it already, and it’s great to be in a studio setting again.
For the past two years, with going on residencies and traveling around, I was working from a home studio. Now that I’m all set up in my new space, I’ve been busy with studio visits and working on new paintings and ideas for future works and exhibitions.
Also, I’ve joined Instagram, where I’ve been posting photos from my studio and of works in progress. You can follow me on Instagram to see what I’m up to in the studio, but more importantly, photos of my mother’s dog.
