Enjoy viewing the amazing variety of artwork on the event website link.

The elements of water, air, and earth exude a healing power that is expressed in much of my artwork. As I live close to the water, I am always inspired by nature on my walks, and that energy of joy, light, flow and enthusiasm often comes into my work in an abstract and semi-abstract way.

I have two paintings hanging in another invitational show by the Independent Artists Group for the months of September and October 2023.

Did you know that the first bound books were created by Monks in the 16th Century? Bookbinding is a very old art that should be continued and not forgotten. If you are interested in creating your very own special book, then Bookbinding is the workshop for you.
First you will need to decide what kind of book you would like to create, so you can choose the correct paper, then design a cover with book board, cut it the size you would like, cut your signatures then bind the book with waxed thread. Terrie will guide you though the bookbinding process, one step at a time.

Please note: Registration begins the first week in August 2023

Workshop Format: This is going to be a fun and supportive two-day workshop! We will deconstruct, interpret, and let go of our references through gesture, value, abstracting our structure, color studies, various underpainting techniques, and mark making.

Each day begins with a demo, and we will then create small studies with different techniques each morning before we dive into a larger painting in the afternoon! There will be new approaches to try, boundaries to push, and plenty of individual instruction as we make scenes our own before ending with a group critique.
Please bring your own photographs with a variety of subject matter (not all the same scene or time of day). A full supply list will be sent to registrants well in advance.

Readers: Lynne Mustard, Barbara Pelman, Susan Musgrave, Susan McCaslin, Dan MacIsaac, Kate Braid, Sandy Shreve and Heidi Greco, Cynthia Woodman Kerkham, Stephen T. Berg, Wendy Donawa, Terry Ann Carter.

There will also be an afternoon launch - 2 p.m. at New Horizons in James Bay.

Vancouver Island has thousands of scenic coastal views and shoreline walks. In this one day workshop you will learn how to paint this type of scene (based on a photo of the Juan de Fuca Strait as seen from Whiffen Spit) through a combination of demos, exercises, painting time, and both group and individual instruction. The instructor will provide a reference photo, and both it and a supply list will be emailed to registrants before the class. Some prior experience in watercolour is strongly recommended.
