\"Busy
Busy finishing up my final painting for my solo exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It seems fitting that as soon as I’ve finished working in the studio on my\u00a0Of Myth and Men<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/em>paintings, the sunshine has come out and spring is fully here in Vancouver. It actually feels a bit like summer – it’s so warm! I’m thankful that I’ve finished just in time to catch a bit of sunshine (and enjoy real flowers instead of painted ones) before heading back into my little studio. I’ve got to hide away from the tempting sunshine to do a bit more work before my show next month.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A work-in-progress shot…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve been busy in the studio finishing up paintings for my upcoming solo exhibition at Initial Gallery<\/a><\/span>. It’s hard to believe but this show has been almost 4 years in the making! I’ve slowly been working on these paintings between other projects and exhibitions, and I can’t wait to see all the work up together. I’ll be posting more in the upcoming weeks about the show, with sneak peeks and other tidbits, but in the meantime I thought I would share some progress shots of paintings that I’ve been working on in the past few months.<\/p>\n

\"Lots
Lots of new patterns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Working in my studio, I’ve always got one or two paintings on the go, but because of the constraint in space, most of the other paintings are all wrapped up and tucked away. So in many ways, the big unveiling of the work in June to the public will also, in some ways, be a bit of an unveiling for myself too. I’m really excited to see the work displayed all together, so that I can take them all in visually at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"My
My obsession with hands continues…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This will also be my first solo exhibition of paintings in Vancouver since my 2009 exhibition at the Pendulum Gallery. I’ve been busy since then, traveling to different residencies and working on other projects, but it’s always been nice to return to working on my\u00a0Of Myth and Men\u00a0<\/em>paintings. And I needed the time to work on them until I was satisfied with them as a whole. So I hope you’ll join me next month for the opening of my exhibition on June 19th. I will also be doing an artist talk at the gallery that weekend, with more details of both the show and artist talk to follow on my website and blog in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n
