Birds Of A Feather Archive Website

We've been working long, hard and furiously on completing

the Archive Website for my Birds of a Feather Solo exhibition.

and now it's done and awaiting your perusal....

There are many photographs of the Installation, The Opening & The Artwork itself.

There's also 3 videos...

1 is a visual tour of the exhibition,

the 2nd is an interview with yours truly

whiles showing beautiful landscapes we filmed from around our home

and the 3rd is an art talk about several piece in the show.

Do have a visit, take a look around and Enjoy...

It's perfect for those of you who wanted to see my exhibition but just couldn't...

and for those who did see it but want to have another gander.

We are simply over the moon with it.

and I must say, once again, that I am completely luck filled and honored to have a honey-pie who tirelessly and most beautifully lends and blends his talents with me and mine....WOW.

A site I will cherish always.

p.s The 3 videos are also available in HD on YouTube as well....

The ArtTour is here,

The Interview is here,

and The Art Talk is here.

See you next week

BIrds Of A Feather Exhibition

So as many of you know I just finished up my 3rd solo gallery exhibition called

'Birds Of A Feather'

at the W.K.P Kennedy Gallery, here in my little city of North Bay.

I thought I'd share some photos with you...

My sweetie & I are almost done a great little promotional site for the exhibition.

I can't wait to show you all...it'll have more photos not shown here, video & interview sections.

It will act as a lovely little archive of the show, as well as a nice virtual tour of sorts.

There were definitely some 'snags' with this show...
Such as it going from a planned 4 week run and being cut down to a mere 10 day run!

Having no choice but to hang the entire show just a few hours before the opening which was totally exhausting and left me just a tad too popped to thoroughly enjoy my special night...
....etc....
BUT you gotta roll with the punches after all..and try to concentrate on the positives....

It was a lovely space to show in & a treat to have my exhibit in the same place where years ago

I worked as gallery coordinator, alongside the amazing Dennis Geden.

(a job I loved but one I left for pursuit of my own full-time art making).

I had many lovelies & sweet-hearts come out to support me on my special night...

including a large flow of people I didn't know.

Hopefully, my grant will be approved & that will help with costs of the show...fingers crossed!

and it's ultimately something new that is proudly added to my artist's c.v.

I must send out extra love and huge thanks to:
My Jonathan, who has so much patience with yours truly...it's not a light task to live with an
artist, let alone one whose preparing for a show, but no one does it better than my guy...
Thanks oodles to my Dad, he swooped in and made me such beautiful frames for over 20 pieces,
even whiles suffering with a broken foot! 
He's no matter what, always on my side & sometimes that all a sensitive little artist needs...
Thanks to my mom, someone I can count out blindly & who is always there to help
with the tiniest or biggest of things...you rock mom...
and thanks to my pal Jules, who helped me hang my show & who tirelessly
wrestled with demon screws on my behalf...
XXOO to you all.

Thanks so much for having a look.

Have a superb weekend.

(As you read this I am likely prowling a bookstore & sipping on a Starbucks coffee with a bag full of art supplies by my side...so if this be true, I am having a lovely day indeed).

Merret St.John

Finally I introduce you to the 3rd birdie making up the motley crew alongside

Shim Bivel-Baum & Camden Trott-Worth...

...kindly say Hello to....

Merret St.John

Merret seems to be the more serious leader of the group with a keen interest in the weather....

Shim is abit of a joker and likes to keep things light and positive...

Whiles Camden is a keep-on-schedule & mapped-out-route type of fella...

A motley feathered crew indeed that just seems to work perfectly together.

(Prints of all 3 are coming soon)

I am off to another full day of photo editing
(I always really enjoy this task)...
It's the perfect day to do so to because as I always chant on rainy days....
"It's Raining, It's Pouring The Bunnies Are Snoring"
(espeacially after a few hours of leaping and zooming around the grass the last few days)

Thanks oodles for stopping by.

p.s. Do you guys prefer the x-large images or just the large, like in this post???
...I can't make up my mind!

Birds Of A Feather Article

Well my 3rd solo exhibition 'Birds Of A Feather' is now up.

I have to go back to get better installation shots (I'll post those soon).

For today I wanted to share the wonderful newspaper article that ran about my show.

I've been in the local paper quite a few times now but this article is by far my favourite.
