Alice's Art Gallery

As you know, I have exhibited many times in the past eight years. However this event was very special to me because it was my first solo show. Creating twenty five paintings, evoking emotions and memories of two cities I love, New York and Buenos Aires, required significant effort on my part. I truly gave it my all! Thanks to all the guests that attended the reception and special thanks to those of you that purchased six paintings on May 15th. It is a great feeling seeing a red dot on the label. Knowing that my work will be in your homes makes my very happy. My gratitude to my family for their continued support, you are my inspiration and the wind beneath my wings. I have included here some photos of the installation day on May 9th and some pics from the reception held on May 15th.

I have entered again into the EAG Winter Artists' Choice Exhibit at Neilson Park Creative Centre. The show was from March 7th to March 27th. During my time in Argentina, I was able to explore working on unframed canvas as bringing large paintings back to Canada would not be easy. Looking back now I am greatful I made that decision seeing as the Air Canada clerk (upon checking in) advised me that I would have needed a letter from the Secretary of Fine Arts stating that I was not smuggling a Picasso out of the country! Here are a few of the paintings I completed during my time down South.

Entering one of my paintings in a juried exibition has been always a stressing experience for me. The thought of not being selected creates a feeling of disapproval. Lee Petrie , curator for Pearson International Airport art exhibits and Astrid Ho co-founder of the Propeller Centre for the Arts, jurors for this show, decided that my painting Windows Series deserved to be in the exhibit. Thank you Rick Taylor for your comment on this painting!!!!

TGIF#4 took place at Neilson Park Creative Centre with many visitors attending the reception on May 1st. The exhibit showcased student's work from Steve Rose's art classes. Board of Exploration is the result of my curiosity for exploring new materials. It is a two sided smooth board on corrugated cardboard used in the packaging of heavy items that provided a light weight panel on which acrylics, gesso and other medias could be used successfully. I had a lot of fun and will do it again!!!!!

This year again I have joined my fellow artists at Nielson Creative Centre for the Winter Exhibition. My painting, Ice Blue , an acrylic on canvas reveals one of my favorites colour palettes. I achive freedom in my strokes and mark making when I work on large frames such as this....
