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.
