Happy Holidays!! :)

Hello All and Happy Holidays!!



It has been a while since we've talked, I thought I would give a little "Holiday Art Update".

This December 15th I will be exhibiting my series "Portrait of a Woman" at the Hague Gallery in Regina. The Series I created in France  in CAMAC's Art Centre is a combination of mixed media female portraits and figurative work. I based the portrait series on a sequence of interviews that I had between Canadian women as well as women that I met in France. I investigated in France why women live where they live, how they got to be there and their family info structures. I studied their female relationships with friends, family and how they communicate with one another. I then went on to form a portrait from each individual interview. The interviews paired with each portrait as extremely captivating, I combined the audio interview media with the visual art in the finished piece for exhibition.

I have work on some grant proposals with the Saskatchewan Arts Board for this new series that I will hopefully get funding for so I create it this spring :). My subject matter for a new series is literary works.  The project that I have in mind, and will be working on through the coming spring and summer, is based on the poetry and short stories of Edgar Allen Poe as a means of paying homage to his creativity in writing.  The series is based on the evocative world that Poe creates, and in turn creating my own visual interpretation of his work.  I plan to expand my own psychological limits through this new project in the hopes that the viewer might experience the same extension of psyche, as I myself will attempt in achieving. The series will be entitled The Aesthetics of Murder – Based on the writings of Edgar Allen Poe.
