Spring News!

The month of March has been a busy time organizing different shows for the months to come.

36x48 mixed media on canvas showing at Delany's coffee shop in Dundarave West Vancouver.

On Sunday I am going to attend a workshop on Vancouver Island run by Steven Aimone. This is the second one that I will take with my friend and artist Sara Morison.

Then with the group of 5enses  we will be exhibiting at Sopa Gallery in Kelowna. The show is called U8. More than 400 paintings will be for sale and every painting will sell for $800 or less. This is a contemporary show with artists from everywhere in Canada and the States. The opening date is April 5th at Sopa Fine Art Gallery and will last two weeks.

Here are some of my works there.

Now the next show for me is going to be at Bistro Louis Gervais down by the Auto Mall in North Vancouver. 

I will be exhibiting by myself for two months from April 1st to June 2nd. The paintings they chose are from my series Movement and Balance. See below for some examples of this series.

After all of that, excitement will continue to flow with the Second Art Crawl on the North Shore.  This event will take place the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of April when the general public (including all of you!) will be able to visit 80 studios throughout the North Shore.  The 5enses will be at my studio at 997 Forest Hills Dr, and at Mena Martini's studio in West Vancouver, from 11am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday. Please bring your friends and enjoy chatting with the artists. It is a great opportunity to meet the artists in your community, in a very relaxed way and you will see a lot different art and studio where the work is done. FUN!

There will be more happening this Spring, so please stay tuned!

My energy as been devoted also to painting on a new series called Passion. For that series I have  painted on unstretched canvases for the large ones. I really enjoyed the process and the freeness of doing it. The colours that I used in this series bring me happiness in those gloomy days and make me forget the rain and the darkness of Winter.  

Here are some of them.....
