new work and Galerie Colline

Me with my cool COVID mask

Most people I know can agree that the last 12 months have been surreal.

Yeah, COVID.

I stayed home, made art, binge-watched Netflix, ate too much, and felt isolated.

I WAS able to attend a week-long Artist's Retreat on Manitoulin Island in August, which really recharged my battery. I never noticed how many colourful mushrooms grow in the forest. Most of the photos taken this summer were either of flowers in the garden or mushrooms from Manitoulin, which makes me laugh. In retrospect, this summer was about colour.

I am excited that the Remix Collective, of which I am a member, has been offered an online exhibition at Galerie Colline in New Brunswick. We had originally been scheduled for a show there in January of 2020, but that was postponed because of COVID.

It's entitled "Inside, Outside, Upside Down".

I will post the link to the exhibition in my next post, but in the meantime here's a preview of one of my new pieces. I definitely was influenced by the pandemic.

Happy New Year, and may 2021 be... well, NOT 2020.
