It's really SPRING! The world froze solid here for months and now it's all warm & rebirthing. What a difference! The sun is up before me again. I've really started creating with vigor again and it feels so good.
I want to make sure I let everyone know that after 8 consecutive years, I WON'T have my work for sale at Gardenscape later this month. My group's show is only 2 weeks following, so I'm saving it all up for that event. Here's the show poster:
Through those days, we will have scheduled artist chats on site so you can learn more about the women and their work. This will be my second year with this group, one of Saskatoon's longest running art groups (since 1990). The art is such a wonderfully diverse range: textile, watercolour, oil, collage, acrylic, graphite, watercolour batik, mixed media. There's landscape art, still life, portrait, realism, impressionism, and abstract. It's FANTASTIC. Please check out the website if you would like to learn more about the artists and the range of work. We've made some great posts as of late.
Here's some pieces I'll have in the show.
Works in progress...

I hope you'll be able to come by the show April 12, 13, 14!
have a great day,
Welcome

Vistas Reception
Hello! Wow, this is all coming so fast. On Thursday December 13th, I would like to invite you to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada's Christmas Open House. They will be waiving the admission fees all day for the public. Also, please note that there is free parking in the back. From 6pm to 8pm as part of the event, I will be in attendance for the Artist's Reception in the gallery there where my solo show is on exhibition.
If you haven't seen it yet, it's a great time to pop in. Vistas: Impressions in Thread will be on display at the museum through to February 2, 2019. It is a collection of 22 prairie threadpaintings (larger in 16" frames) and is my first major threadpainting exhibition in my home city of Saskatoon.
Thanks everyone!

Two Day Online Pop Up Shop!
I hope you aren't the last to know! Friday Dec 7 and Saturday Dec 8, you find my available works online at my ETSY shop here . On Sunday I will pack everything up and on Monday the sold works will be shipped to buyers around the world. : ) I must admid that I am not great with the shipping estimations. Shipping overcharges of more than $5CAD will always be reimbursed within five days, so if you get a ridiculous number, don't panic. I can't find the option of free delivery in Saskatoon, so if you are in my city, I will reimburse 100% of shipping costs.
I have some new greeting card designs (FINALLY!!) as well as threadpaintings in 10"x12" frames. I also have som elarger architectural work from my solo show Gathering Places. I would especially like the Bessborough and the Parktown to find new homes.
The larger pieces I have sold so far from that exhibition have been put on payment plans, so email me directly if that is something you would like to arrange, and I will remove the item from my ETSY shop for you.
THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!! ; )
