"The main focus of my work has become storytelling...
honouring the lives + stories of women
through portraiture."

FCA Calgary Demo + Talk

2/5/2016

I am honoured and excited to be presenting at the Calgary chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists meeting on February 16.  That evening I will be sharing my process as well as reading a bit from my book and was asked to bring a few copies of the book for sale.

I have been a member of the national Vancouver branch of the FCA since I began painting professionally because I had learned that Lawren Harris, my favorite member of the Group of Seven, was an initiator of the Federation.  Throughout the years I have exhibited in Vancouver many times and was the grateful recipient of the Tinyan Chan, SFCA Award in 2006.  Being a member has allowed me not only to be involved in exhibits in Vancouver, but also for my work to travel around the world to places like Germany, England and Scotland.

I believe whole-heartedly that it is important for an artist, whose life is often lived in isolation, to be involved in some sort of community whether locally or internationally.  Throughout the years I have learned much from others who have travelled this path before me and have received opportunities and also that impetus to push myself and grow in my craft.
