The Arts in View program is a permanent exhibit on display in the financial spa® branches of BlueShore Financial. It is open to the general public as well as current clients of BlueShore Financial.
I am very happy to have 3 paintings on display in the BlueShore Financial branch at Lonsdale and 15th.
My work has been paired with sculptures by wood artist Federico Méndez Castro (@dalbergia_world) and I really like how the sculptures and the paintings are complementing each other.
The show is curated by Cathy Church (@tartooful) and will be on display until January 2021.
I am very happy to exhibit some of my flower paintings in the upcoming Ensemble show at the ACT Art Gallery :
” Now in its 9th year, the concept of this exhibition is to give each artist the opportunity to show a small collection of artworks that are related by one or several unifying elements such as theme, medium, size, etc “
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 2 from 2-4pm.
Art Sunday Workshop with Sandrine Pelissier: Sunday, March 17, 2–4 p.m. at the Music Box | cost $25
The Ferry Building Gallery is pleased to present Tonality, a mixed-media exhibition that showcases artwork by three local artists – Lesley MacGregor, Sandrine Pelissier and Broderick Wong.
Lesley MacGregor was born in Victoria and currently lives and works in West Vancouver. Growing up with a father who was an art education professor, MacGregor always made art a part of her life. Her interest in fine art photography began in 2012. Her focus has been largely in black-and-white or tonally minimal, primarily centred on landscapes and architecture. She finds that working in black and white demands that light, shadow and tone take centre stage in her compositions, and strips these things down to their elements. MacGregor has exhibited in the Lower Mainland and the US, and her photography has won international awards.
Sandrine Pelissier is originally from France and has been living in North Vancouver for the past 20 years. Her work has been collected and exhibited extensively both in Canada and internationally. Her paintings have been published in books and magazines, and she has written two art instruction books. She is an active member of the local arts community. She co-founded the North Shore Art Crawl and sits on the board of the North Vancouver Arts Council, among many other activities. With her artwork, Pelissier hopes to offer an alternative to the typical representation of women in art by celebrating true beauty and diversity of real bodies of all ages and shapes.
Broderick Wong began his artistic journey in Manila, Philippines by completing a degree in marketing and choosing a career as a learning and development trainer. His artistic studying evolved into two skill-sets – graphite portraiture and then watercolours. Painting has allowed Wong to be in the moment, and he sees a parallel to life in knowing when to take control and when to let go. His mission is to re-introduce people to water and colour, and get them excited about the possibilities. The paintings included in this exhibition are an extension of his No Payne’s No Gains series, in which he used just one tube of Payne’s gray pigment.
I brought all those printed ladies yesterday at the ACT gallery in Maple Ridge for the Ensemble show.
In their words:
November 3–December 20, 2018
This group show has become something of a Christmas ’classic’ at The ACT. Selected artists are invited to display a grouping of their artwork that is related by theme, medium, style, and/or size. The result is always surprisingly coherent, with each artist being given just enough space to make a statement.
All works in the show are available for sale, offering much potential for those who like to deck their halls (or someone else’s) with something handmade and heartfelt at this time of year.”
We just held our end of the year show at Simply drawing. It is held in my studio every year in June. A big thank you to all the visitors and the talented artists who participated.
Our group is now taking a break until September, when our classes will resume every Thursday from 6.30 to 9.30 pm.
