Heart Notes: Becoming wild - in full colour
I have news!!!
As of the beginning of July I am joining ART1274 Hollis Gallery. It is a cooperative gallery which features local art by local artists. I will be the featured artist for July and we are having an opening reception on July 7 from 5 to 7.  (See the invitation below for details.) If you are in the area, I hope you will join me.

As part of the cooperative model of the gallery I will be the Artist on Duty most Tuesdays from 11 to 2. I'm looking forward to spending time talking about art and maybe doing a bit of hooking while I'm there.

The theme of my opening show at ART1274 Hollis is Wild Woman Becoming - In Full Colour. I've been thinking and writing about what it means to become the person I was meant to become; about feeling free to express my inner self. If this resonates with you, you will want to check out this blog post Wild Woman Wonderings.



For the months of June and July in Creating Space we are playing and creating in the 8 Chakra Colours. Last week's prompt was about the Solar Plexus Chakra, which is represented by the colour yellow. Here is an excerpt from this prompt: " An affirmation that I associate with the Solar Plexus Chakra is "I know who I am". For this week's assignment (should you choose to accept it), try to write a few affirmations for the Solar Plexus Chakra. Or you can use the affirmation "I know who I am" and try to connect with the body feeling of this statement. How does it feel? Where do you feel it in your body?

... Feel free to play with the colour of this chakra (yellow) in your art, in your clothing, by noticing the colour in your environment, etc. I hope you will be busy making collages or painting or colouring in yellow. As with previous weeks, observe how working with this chakra/colour makes you feel." Our 1 hour live session for June is next Thursday, so Sign up today.

Opening Reception at ART1274 Hollis Gallery is July 07 from 5 to 7.
Stay well and keep looking for those moments of joy. Thanks for reading and connecting. It means the world to me.

Warmly,

Artwork in Progress

My Cheticamp frame is back! I'm putting the finishing touches on the collaborative mat for Adsum for Women and Children . Along with small pieces created by individual staff, this group project will be hung in their new Sunflower community building, opening later this summer.

Here is a photo of the small pieces that have been finished and mounted on wooden blocks so far. I'm expecting a few more pieces to arrive soon.

If you would like to own one of my fibre art creations, take a look at my gallery or contact me. Custom designs also available.
