Watercolor Demo at Port Moody Art Association

I have been invited to do a watercolor demo at the Port Moody Art Association on April 27, 2009. It is a very large group with artists focusing on all mediums so it should be a lot of fun!

I will be doing a watercolor demo at the Art Focus Group on February 25, 2009. The group meets from 7-9 pm that night so please come out and enjoy the demo. It is free for all and you are more than welcome to join the group.

Art Demo at the Outlet Nov 22 from 1 - 3 pm

I will be doing a graphite demo on Nov 22 from 1 - 3 pm as a kick off to my exhibit at the Outlet and as part of the Leigh Square First Annual Winter Artisan Fair. My demo will be located in the Residence Room along with a demo by Catherine Dumaine who will be working on a loom.

Small, Smaller, Smallest FCA Exhibit

Selected artwork will be featured at the Federation of Canadian Artists Granville Island gallery from November 18 until December 7.

Some of my photos from the 14th Annual Art Focus Show

Of course I did not take any photos of the band or the opening reception because I was too busy chatting :) But I did get some photos of myself and my paintings thanks to my crew :) The band was really great nice jazz music, not so loud that you could not chat and upbeat enough so that you could dance. And yes there was even some dancing!

FCA Artist Choice Exhibit - Nov 4 – 16, 2008

I recently joined the Federation of Canadian Artists and am happy to say (ok very very happy) that I have been accepted to exhibit my artwork at the Artist Choice exhibit November 4 – 16, 2008 at their Granville Island Gallery.

This is very exciting as the Federation has many, many very talented artists as members so to be chosen for an exhibit is pretty exciting! I will be displaying two of my recent paintings, "Balance" and "Ready or Not"


It is nice to finally see all of my hard work submitting forms for exhibits , which is really, really not exciting, actually pay off!

Solo Exhibit at The Outlet - Nov 12 - Jan 4, 2009

The Outlet will be displaying several pieces of my artwork both in graphite and watercolor at The Outlet. The Outlet is located in Port Coquitlam at Leigh Square.

Annual May Day Show with ArtFocus

The May Day show was a great success and we all had alot of fun. There was a large variety of artwork in all medias and covering many different themes which made it very interesting. Artists offered works framed, unframed and original prints in the form of greeting cards. I have a couple of pictures I will have to upload once I find them. Several members did heritage paintings of local houses for a previous project which were featured and Colin Craig did an acrylic demo which was really interesting. I can hardly wait to see the finished painting. Sher Nasser won the Favorite Painting award for Chai Lady.

Mother's Day in the Park at Lions Park

It was freezing cold but we all had a blast at Lion's Park for Mother's Day in the Park. The kids did a great job painting with Jack Prasad, I think Jack inspired more than a few budding artists with his cool tips & tricks.

Of course I had to bring my mom being mothers day and all! She is also an artist and had a blast visiting with everyone and painting with the kids.

Group Exhibit at Place des Arts

The group that is exhibiting the Suite E Life Drawing group that I belong to. There are a ton of very talented artists in the group so when I moved to the area I was so excited to be so close to such a great pool of talent not to mention weekly live models!

I was also very excited (I get too excited about art ;)) to see one of my paintings used on Place des Arts website as it is my first real exhibit since I quite my day job (the one that supports my art addiction) to pursue art full time.

If you are in the area the opening exhibit is March 20 from 7:30 - 9 pm and there will be free appies and all of the artists will be there.
