I live in a pastoral country setting;a small hobby farm surrounded by many beloved (and spoiled )creatures.I am a working artist influenced by my rural backdrop and creating diligently and enthusiastically out of my haunted historical studio in Owen Sound Ontario. I am drawn to our collective histories and an imaginary world of those who walked before us. I am a collector of ephemera, memories and rich discards ..Certainly treasures to be refashioned into new art.My background is editorial illustration and I am a visual storyteller. Rescuer of stray memories and strands of past lives. I believe in the transformational and healing qualities of art. It should always be joyful and full of many layers.
It looks like a very austere reception..but I chose to take photos/post only images without guests as I wasn't sure who wanted to be online..It was actually a magical event ..with quite a few of my local supporters/patrons and very gratifying sales and affirmation ..Stephen ,my partner was the bartender which smoothed things for me considerably..and the art council handled sales..I was so very pleased about the whole outcome..a little nervewracking initially..but totally worth it :-)
