Exploration - My First Solo Art Exhibition
Artist in Residence at Gallery Splash! Esquimalt
From May 16 to 22, I will be showcasing 20 of my abstract paintings. I choose the theme Exploration (a word that 'works' in English and in French!) which resonates with me on many levels. Since I have started to paint, it has been an adventure, a learning journey with lots of ups and downs, some frustration but also a ton of fun! I learn best by experiencing, trying, failing, and trying again...The artworks presented are a collection of the various creative paths I have taken so far, trying different techniques, using different tools and mediums. I hope you come see my paintings and chat with me!
Thanks to the Esquimalt Township Community Arts Council for this opportunity.
