for Olivia [a memento]   This is a recently commissioned figurative ceramic sculpture created as a “memory piece” for a grand-daughter’s 18th birthday/graduation… 210 x 180 x 270 mm.

A lovely article about the Manitoba Interlake WAVE Artists’ Studio Tour appeared in a recent issue of CAA’s Going Places magazine. You can view or download a PDF of the article (4.4MB) here or by clicking on the cover image above.

Pencil in the dates for the next Tour — 9-10 June 2013, 10am to 6pm.

Others dream alone. This piece speaks to the greater power of collective visioning and the realization of communal imagination. Individual dreams come in many sizes—common dreams move well beyond measurement.

My latest sculptural piece, Apertural Thaw, is part of a group show of eclectic works by Interlake artists currently on exhibit in the Winnipeg Art Gallery. The show is entitled Thaw. We enjoyed participating in the well-attended vernisage last Friday evening. The Thaw exhibition can be viewed at the WAG until Sunday, 21 April…

I just got the good news that Wayne Arthur Gallery (on Provencher Boulevard, Winnipeg) has sold my sculpture entitled ‘Where am I and who took my clothes?’ In its stead, ‘Pinch Me (I’m not a production potter)’ is now on exhibit there…

On Thursday, 8 November, I’ll have a table of diverse “give-ables” at Artspace, 100 Arthur Street (in Winnipeg) before and after the screening of Tapestries of Film. Doors open at 18:00, film screening at 19:00. My “ware” will include Readers*, quirky shot-glasses and nesting-bowls, as well as wearable clay pendants, etc…

I’d love to see you there!

* Various book-clubbers have placed pre-Christmas orders for these studious little beings… contact me directly for special pricing on a batch of 4-or-more.

I’m thrilled! I’m truly thrilled to be able to share the fact that my work is now on display, and for sale, in the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Gallery Shop. The first sculptural work selected is “On The Surface All Seemed Normal…” Completed in 2010, it’s a figurative stoneware sculpture with low-fired glazes and iron oxide stain, augmented with cold-finishes: sterling silver bridle and a formed copper bit (340 x 210 x 420 mm). My artist statement for the piece reads as follows:

Lake Winnipeg has always lived large in my life. It has a hold on me that won’t let go. Being at the Lake signals a time for me to just be me… through the years, the Lake has swallowed a lot of my woes. It is a big lake… it can take it. And just so you know… on the surface all seemed normal.

Thanks for coming out to the 11th annual Wave Artists’ Studio Tour! I had such a good time chatting with all who came—it is always such a great end to our awesome summers here in the Interlake. The transition to a full working studio (from the summer gallery set-up) is anticipated with eager excitement… a whole new batch of “studio buddies” is on the way.
