Jessica Turner from Shaw TV joined me in my studio for a preview of work I’ll be showing at the Shaw TV office in Whistler for Art Walk. The Event runs all throught the summer – July to August, with opening nights on June 30 and July 14. I’ll be there live painting!
Saturday February 26, 7:30pm; no fee, no host bar (Campbell River Art Gallery)
Fire spinners in Spirit Square at 6:30pm are the perfect lead in to performance pieces by poet Annette Yourk, base player Graham Edwards, and the Methuselah Dance Troupe in the Gallery inspired by Laurel Terlesky’s exhibition, We Love This Stuff So Much. This is an evening you won’t forget.
I just heard from the curator at the Campbell River Art Gallery that my exhibit, “We love this stuff so much…” is being co-sponsored by Apple Electric and 2Hills Renovation Contractor. Thank you so much Campbell River!!

Here’s my G again – appears as the G in Together.
I’m getting geared up to be part of a chic arts event in Long Beach California at the end of the month. There will be plenty of art, fashion and some music on hand for an eloquent evening at trendy Hotel Maya. If you’re in the area I’d more than love to see you. Buy your tickets online soon before it’s sold out!
In the last 2 weeks I had absolutely incredible experience working with a film crew on a new Shaw commercial. I painted a 8’x4′ big three dimensional G for the phrase “Together is Amazing” and took part as an actor in the commercial as well. Everyone was an absolute delight to work with – all the production crew at Radke, filmgroup and Shaw TV (Big props to Emily!). I worked along side some very inspiring artists including Robyn Waffle, Michael Tickner and Chris Polyck. I’m not sure when the commercial airs – but I’ll definitely let you know (unless you see it before me). Shaw filmed a background documentary piece on the project as well. The letters live on at Shaw headquarters in Calgary and then be moved around to other Shaw locations. Yay for the letter G!!!
