Redux, on the Road …

I thought the beginning of this year was going to be relatively quiet – a time just to hunker down & work in the studio through the cold months.

There’s certainly been a good bit of that – preparations for an exhibition in the Fall – but then a lovely opportunity came up …

I am very excited to share that Scott Smallwood and I have bene invited to exhibit some of our collaborative work at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Macromareal (redux) will be shown in ~Diffuser Gallery at ECUAD from February 26 – March 24 inclusive.

We will be heading out to Vancouver on Sunday to begin installing the work, and will also be speaking to some of the EUCAD classes about the project and our respective practices.

Looking forward immensely to this little get-away, and to the opportunity to share this work from the East Coast with a West Coast audience!

If you are in the Vancouver area, I hope you can stop in and see it – would love to hear your thoughts.

Tomorrow!

The CARFAC National Conference and AGM is tomorrow – Saturday, June 3rd!

It’s going to be a good weekend, and it’s exciting to know that here will be visual artists from all over the country here this weekend, discussing issues  and advocacy initiatives pertinent to artists’ careers.

There’s also going to be programming Saturday Evening and Sunday afternoon – so it’s not ‘all work and no play.’

I’m looking forward very much to hearing from other parts of the country, and to reconnecting with artists I haven’t seen for far too long.

Information below – there’s still time to register and join us:
