Art Gallery of Greater Victoria Summer Show and Sale

Three of my lovely swimming ladies are headed to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria for their annual summer small works show and sale.

The swimmers are part of my Going Deeper Series that came about through my explorations undertaken as part of the 100 day project. The 100 day project is a global art movement that encourages people to undertake 100 consecutive days of creating. I chose to focus on the image of the swimmer. The daily practice almost became a daily meditation and I experienced several creative breakthroughs along the journey.

To me the swimmer represents a being that can travel between the water – the subconscious and the land, consciousness. They float free from time and space allowing the viewer space to daydream. These works are mixed media (watercolour, ink, pencil and collage) on Arches Paper.

Please join me for a glass of wine at the opening reception on Thursday June 8th from 5- 8 PM at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in the Massey Sales Gallery.  The show will run until August 27th and includes a fabulous selection of art from artists across the Victoria Region.
