OK. My 'moment in time' art piece now has a direction; literally. The art work I am currently working on will be called 'True North'. It is dedicated to the celebration of Canada's 150th birthday. I see 2 paths; either this art piece can get too serious and cliche fast or I slow it down and research where I want to take this new piece. I grew up in Toronto and I travelled a bit across Canada and so I just have to get in touch with my vision bank. I am having a lot of fun doing the research behind the places I've visited and for some reason stayed in my vision bank. Each spacial part of the canvas will represent a place. It will be in abstract form but the elements will represent something. This art piece will be displayed in July 2017 at one of my favourite Toronto galleries. This particular art gallery always brings out the best in me. BTW: I still left the lime bubble empty. I have sketches and sketches of ideas but till this day ~ it's still open to all these possibilities.

My 3 loves. My art studio must be the smallest room in our home and yet every time I go in there to paint; my 3 children are all there hanging out. I don't mind, except when I am working with heavy gels and mediums, I clear out the space. Perhaps my art studio is at the "heart" of our home. Not sure but what I am sure is that my 3 loves are always welcome in the art studio; our own private sanctuary. Happy Mother's Day to my mom and to all the moms !
I found this very old photo of my brother, sister and I. I am the youngest of this trailblazing bunch. I can recognize the books I was holding on that one windy day. I knew my love for books originated from somewhere. I just finished watching this TVO documentary on how to increase creativity. I came across the concept of Lateral Thinking and the '6 Thinking Hats'. Creativity and the problem-solving-mind are inter-linked ~ of course ! I am currently testing out the theory behind the '6 Thinking Hats'. I am using the theory on my latest art piece 'True North'. Originality, thinking outside of the conventional norm, solving problems that were never solved before ~ sign me up !
