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.

March 3, 2010

Just back from Vancouver, where I did 100 Dresses for West Vancouver
during the Olympics at the West Vancouver Community Centre, 2121
Marine Drive. The paintings are installed in display cases on the 1st and
2nd floors till March 31. Click on the link above to see some of the
dresses; more to come in the next few days.

Brought to you by the Yukon Territorial Cultural Contingent to the
Olympics...

If you're in Haines Junction before March 31, drop by the Convention
Centre to check out 100 Dresses for the Depths of Winter in Haines
Junction. Winter wasn't really all that deep - it's been a warm one. But the
Guest Dresses are amazing - there are over 100 in the snow, in addition to
my own 100.

That project was presented by Junction Arts and Music.

In recent news, I had a piece selected for the Canada Council Art Bank
collection. That Damn Drive: Whitehorse to Dawson is a 14 panel piece,
painted in September every 40 km or so of the drive from Dawson to
Whitehorse. It was part of my Yukon Drives show that appeared at the
ODDGallery in Dawson City last spring.

I'm dreaming up another roads show for Juneau. It will be called The
Infinite Road. I'll paint that in April/May 2010, and it will be shown April
2011 at The Canvas.

This spring will see two more shows: Listening to the Mountain will open
March 25 at the Yukon Arts Centre. This large, touring public gallery show
has been installed in Grimsby ON, Grande Prairie AB, Sault Ste Marie ON,
and Montreal QC, before coming home, to what might well be its final
show.

A solo show of ravens at the Chocolate Claim will open April 1 as a
counterpoint to this show.

This past November I opened Drawn from the Dark, another solo show of
ravens at the Birchwood Gallery. They sold many pieces from that show,
but there's still a good selection left, just in case you can get
there...they're still waiting to sort out their program to get images up on
their website, I'll try to let you know when that's up and running.

On that note, The Front Gallery in Edmonton has got some of my ravens
up on their site now: click here to see.

I spent late Sept to early November on the road. On my way home I
stopped in Grande Prairie and met up with Todd Schaber, Alberta
Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Manager. We selected the
work for a show of 100 Alberta Dresses from the 100's made in Grande
Prairie, Calgary and St. Albert. That will start touring fall 2010.

That was the last stop in a busy, rich fall tour. I spent early October in St.
Albert, painting 100 Dresses for a St. Albert Autumn at the Profiles Public
Art Gallery in St. Albert just north of Edmonton.

The show included dresses from my 100 Dresses series in Juneau Alaska,
Inuvik, Yellowknife, Montreal, and two from Whitehorse, as well as the
100 I painted specifically for St. Albert. I'll post some images soon!



Cheers! Nicole.
