EXhibit up! FRANCIS MORRISON LIBRARY GALLERY

 After 2 days and with the assistance of betty and ken, ALWAYS COMING HOME is up. I 'snapped' the few photos below with my less than stellar photog skills and cell phone. Next week the professionals get in to begin the development of the virtual tour, later to be loaded onto the SILS site. (Link will appear in this blog once provided)

The installation will be up until November 13. Individual or bubble-viewing by appointment is planned. 

This will be SILS first virtual gallery exhibition and very exciting for all of us involved. I would like to thank Stevie Horn and library management for agreeing to my proposal to create an actual walking & talking tour of the exhibit. 

To get a preview of some of the artwork return to home page and scroll down to an entry from september 2019. 

The exhibit was up for 2 months during covid-induced lockdown. During that time the Saskatoon Central Library Systems 

(SLS ) agreed to create a virtual exhibit so that the work could be seen.  It took 2 months to get it up and running. Check out the SLS site to see the exhibit, an audio of me reading the text on the pieces and a Q&A between gallery coordinator and artist ... moi!

QUIETLY

       This group of brushwork drawings were inspired by my love of the Daoist and Buddhist teachings AND my practice of mindfulness. 

An ink stroke is completely of the moment. There is no correcting. And on paper the ink expands as it will. The outcome is always unforeseeable.

(To see a portrait done in this manner go to early website entries and look for 'LADY OF THE FLOATING WORLD')

I am also exploring the unity in perceived division. Through the use of blocks of colour that could be seen as seperate; however are unified by the brushstroke. 

                     ALL paintings SOLD.  

Collection of roxanne and dean anderson.
