Hello Art lovers,
I’m so excited for spring! Life has been busy. Here are some fun art events this spring..

“The Significance of Pollinators”
March 16th-April 20th, 2024
The “Two Saras” are at it again! Tomorrow, March 16th at noon is the opening of “The significance of pollinators” at the Summerland Art Gallery with myself and my artist friend Sara Wiens. Sara paints incredible abstract paintings based on the flight patterns of honey bees. There will be refreshments and an artist talk. We had quite the day at the beginning of the week loading the car, stuck in road closures and hanging art. Below is a very sped up version of installing “At home in the wild and messy” a handmade and hand dyed paper installation I created with more than 50 separate pieces on the importance of pollinator’s homes.

I’m also so grateful to be included in the members exhibition at Lake Country Art Gallery with my new works about “Pollinators on Strike”
Pollinators on Strike: Escape from duty, triptych of handmade and hand dyed paper from flax, abaca and linen. made from 3 seperate 16 x 20 panels, price: 2000
close up of one of the panels from above. Flax paper is really tough and durable once it’s dried. This piece was made by beating flax in a Hollander beater for 6-8 hours, hand pulling the sheets, embossing with found objects, and dipping in indigo dye.

There’s still time to visit The Shuswap Artist Collective exhibition at hOurspace on 4th!
Pollinators on strike: The attempt for Mars, (no paint here!) This piece is fully created from handmade and hand pigmented paper pulp of cotton, linen and abaca. Created at Penland School of Craft during my 6 week residency in their amazing papermaking studio.
Thanks so much to everyone for your support!
