Join me for a presentation of the Big Picture Art Project and try your hand at some fun monoprinting techniques like the popular No- phone selfie.
Our annual life drawing show will take place on June 22, 6 to 9 pm in my studio.
It was great to meet with visitors last weekend for the North Shore Art Crawl and let them see my working space, new art works and ask questions about my process.
I had a little hand-son activity set up for the crawl where you could make a 8 pages booklet from one sheet of paper.
Earlier this month, I also had the pleasure of showing a large group of home-schoolers how to make a no-phone selfie for the Big Picture Art Project.
Finally this week I had the pleasure of giving a studio tour to a group registered to the: Exploring the North Vancouver Art Scene tour from the West Vancouver community arts council. They also visited : Lorn Curry, Susanna Blunt and Marcus Bowcott

For Culture Days Sophie Babeanu (art therapist in North Vancouver) and I have arranged a few drawing stations in the studio with simple instructions.
At each station, you could try a different drawing technique.
Like drawing with your non- dominant hand
Or finding a drawing from random scribbles on paper
Or drawing a self portrait with a mirror monoprint easy technique.
Once the drawings were made, participants had the opportunity to have their drawings scanned and to upload them to the Big Picture Art Project
We had some awesome participations to the big picture from our Culture Days visitors. Here are a few:
See you next year !
