GRATITUDE TO SHARE SHOW UPDATES, PROCESS SHOTS & MUSINGS WITH YOU
Join us at the Banff Farmers Market on August 21st! My daughter and I will be showcasing our ceramics as part of the OESA Bow Valley Community Art group. Don't miss the chance to explore unique handmade pieces from my mountain and water series, and my daughter’s quirky monster creations. This may be my last batch before I start a new adventure at Emily Carr University this fall. See you there!
As a ceramic artist and tea enthusiast, I'm excited to share my experience at the APA Teapot Show 2023. My teapots were accepted for the exhibition and showcased alongside the best of teapot-making from artists across the region. I'm proud to have been recognized for my work and to have the opportunity to share my artistic vision with a wider audience
Teaching ceramics is something I hold near and dear to my heart, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to be part of the artsPlace team. Canmore's community arts centre, artsPlace, is a welcoming, user-friendly space where Bow Valley residents and visitors can come to explore, discover, and celebrate the adventure of art and creativity through a variety of classes, workshops, camps, performances, films, and exhibits.
I had a fabulous time visiting the Alberta Craft Council with my mom last weekend for their first opening since the pandemic. It had a wonderful turnout. I got to see friends I hadn’t seen in twenty years, meet new friends, and talk all things Kitsch. Below is a short gallery of images taken at the opening.
I am excited to have my work at The Canmore Museum Shop! I have loved following their community focused initiatives as they reimagine themselves and connect with local communities. I’ve read much of Nina Simons work and I look forward to seeing what an OF-BY-FOR ALL museum can do to transform museum relevance in the Bow Valley.
Craft artists working in all traditional and contemporary craft media were invited to create their interpretations of kitsch craft; Craft that shares a knowing wink with the viewer, craft that wears kitsch on its velour sleeve as a rhinestone badge of honor, craft that’s appeal is found in its bad taste and ironic value.
