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.
November 9, 2008
I've been 10 days in Grande Prairie, and I'm at dress #98. Tomorrow's
the last day for the making of the 100 Dresses for a Grande Prairie
November, in residence in the pillars area of the in the Grande Prairie
Regional College and presented through the Prairie Art Gallery.
I've recently put up some new pics from the 100 Dresses for a Juneau
April. Click here to check them out.
This past fall I had a trip East. I painted new plein air landscapes in for the
Birchwood Gallery in Yellowknife, and made a trip to Canmore and the
Banff region to take research photos (I also did four little plein air studies)
for a show at the Keystone Art Gallery in Calgary, to open April 2, 2009.
That show's working title is Upward Mobility: Mountains, Ravens and
Farmland from the sky.
In Montreal I did some prep work for my Listening to the Mountain show
at the Faculty of Fine Arts Gallery at Concordia to open Feb. 19, 2009.
The new development on that front is, I will be doing 100 Dresses for
February in Montreal there at the gallery in early February, with all 100
and the Guest Dresses to open in the Black Box the same night as
Listening to the Mountain.
Samplings of other dress project links currently available include 100
Dresses for an Inuvik July, and the 100 Dresses for June's Burgeoning
Brightness.
This past 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 until January.
You can also see images from 100 Dresses for a Yellowknife May, or Click

Darkness. Or Click here to read more about the 100 Dresses projects.
In other work, Yukon Drives, the road series of paintings, is zooming
along. 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 ODDGallery in Dawson City. I've also
painted two five-panel pieces for the show, the drive from Dawson to the
Tombstones, as well as the drive from my house to Downtown
Whitehorse. On my way home from the Tombstones this fall I painted a
14-panel piece of "That damn drive down to Whitehorse." I'll also have a
show of other road works at the 40 Mile Gold Gallery at the same time.
Cheers! Nicole.
Here's a sneak preview of the road paintings that won't go on sale till next
year's show at the 40 Mile Gold Gallery:
