Well, here we are approaching the middle of March, the snow is melting and the creative juices are flowing. Much that was put aside for the winter is now bubbling to the surface and I have been hard at work in my studio creating new work and sourcing materials for more creations. Since I use many found objects and natural materials I have to wait for the snow to clear before many of them are accessable including the ones in my own yard. That's just life when you live in an area that gets over 20 ft or 6 m of snow every winter. Eventhough we had an unseasonably mild winter with much less snow it is still enough to impede creative scrounging.
The really big news is I am one of 16 local artists involved in the creation of the North Columbia Artists' Cooperative which will be opening a gallery in Revelstoke called Art First! at the begining of April. Of course being unable to keep my mouth shut and having some handyman skills I am now in charge of getting the space ready for our opening which includes building plinths, installing lights, painting etc. Fortunately I have a great group of willing volunteers to help. In fact I am extremely happy with the group that has come together and know that the work they all do is exceptional. Please come out and support the gallery if you are in town or just drop in and say hi.
