The Seafood Market Show

Thank you to all who came down!

Show in Calgary

Back in Calgary today. A few studio mates and I have been hanging up the show for tomorrow night. You'll have to just take my word for it that the show is looking good; I forgot my camera cord back in Ponoks. I'll take some pics at the opening and post them when I get back home. This will be my last show at the Seafood market. Doors open at 6pm 630 7th Ave SE Calgary.

Hola! This is my art blog. Welcome! I guess I should have started one awhile ago, but I didn't so I'll start now. While visiting with my lovely friend Jackie of chubbybroccoil, I decided it was time to jump on this bandwagon and start writing about my art. Jackie was talking about how she likes to follow blogs by her favorite artists because it is like having a glimpse into their studio, creation and creative process. Like getting to know the artist in addition to their work. Neat. I like that.

I am currently in a lovely little studio space in Calgary called the Seafood Market Studios. I set up shop here in October and have been immensely productive since then. It's amazing how a co

mfortable space to work in can really amp up the motivation and creativity. It's been a great little community of artsy people to get to know, especially over a game of ping pong.

My time in Calgary is quickly coming to an end though. The studio lease is almost up, my job is closing its doors, and my landlord sold the house. I am taking that as a sign that it is time to move on. I'm really going to miss this studio, but I am excited for things to come! I've got 4 shows lined up in the next few months, as well as a few commissions and new work to create for the Bluerock Gallery in Black Diamond, AB.

So, here we go.
