Hello there,
I live in Whitehorse, in Canada's Yukon Territory. The Yukon's dynamic
skies and strong mountains drew me here to paint for the summer,
beginning in 2001. I've made my home base here since 2003.
July 31, 2008
Home again home again jiggity jig. Once I have my encaustic studio set
up again I'll be making a few last pieces for a show called Shadow which
the 40 Mile Gold Gallery is presenting for sculptor James Kirby and myself.
I'll also be doing a few more road series. On my July trip to Inuvik, I
painted a series of 25 panels between Whitehorse and that very northern
city, above the arctic circle. Every 50 km of the drive I painted the road as
it curved right. This major piece will be part of a May 2009 show at the
Odd Gallery in Dawson City.
I also completed a 5-panel piece tracing the drive from Dawson City to the
Tombstones.
While I was in Inuvik at the Great Northern Arts Festival I painted the 100
Dresses for an Inuvik July. Keep watch for images of those dresses to be
posted here.
Samplings of dress project links currently available include the 100
Dresses for June's Burgeoning Brightness. I painted these dresses as part
of the Arts Underground Arts in the Park program, and as a Demo on the
Deck for the Yukon Artists @ Work.
In early June I picked up my 100 Dresses from the Canvas Gallery in
Juneau. Click here to see images from that show. I left them at the
Gathering of Spirits Gallery in Skagway in case you'd like to see them -
just ask Steve.
This past May I travelled to the Birchwood Gallery in Yellowknife. Click
here to see some of the work that was in that show. Also, I undertook the
100 Dresses for a Yellowknife May in that gallery (what an intrepid gallery
owner Tony is.) They were also well received - I have less than seventy of
them left. Click here to see some of those images.
Later in May I painted 100 Dresses for Nakai Theatre's Home Grown
Festival. I set my dining shelter up in the courtyard outside the Guild
theatre and drew my inspiration from the imaginary worlds created by the
festival. The remaining dresses are up in the Nakai offices for the summer.
Go visit Corrie and check them out.
