Storm Warning
This exhibit of new paintings has just opened at Cafe Pichilingue in downtown Red Deer (4928 Ross Street). The series depicts monochromatic storms sweeping across textured landscapes. The series came about during a mixed media experiment and I am quite pleased with the outcome. Storm Warning runs until July 29, 2010.

TEXTure
I have just hung a new show in the Velvet Olive Lounge in downtown Red Deer. The paintings which constitute "TEXTure" explore physical and visual texture as well as story. The show will be up until May 31. The Velvet Olive is located at 4924 Ross Street (alley entrance). In fact, it is right beside alleyscape studio.

Influenced by life, dreams, and the quirky humour that human experience brings, she likes unicorns and bears, and has a penchant for Nutella on bananas.

Shadows of Trees opening
The opening reception of "Shadows of Trees" on Friday, 5 February was quite successful. Somewhere between 30 and 35 people came by for wine and cheese. Andrea Dillngham, the Marjorie Wood Gallery curator, had produced newspaper tablecloths in keeping with the theme. The press was there and many friends, both artist and non. The opening reception was part of Red Deer's First Friday gallery openings.

Votive Bowls
I have just installed a new exhibit at the PortHole Gallery at Red Deer College Library. The PortHole Gallery is a series of six vitrines (8 in x 8 in x 10 in) which present small 3D pieces very well. I have placed six small votive bowls in the gallery. The bowls are rough, hand-built ceramic pieces which have been bisqued and then fired in sawdust for 48 hours. Since the pieces have never been glazed, the only colouring comes from the flames and smoke of the firing. The pieces were created while I was a Visiting Artist in Red Deer College’s Visual Art first-year ceramic classes.
