The Vibrant Vine Art Show with OKAC

Last weekend we had an art show in Kelowna winery. There were 9 of us and all had really high hopes, very excited to be out of our homes and presenting our art. I invested time and money to create and advertise our art show on Instagram as you can see below. Results are quite depressing and except for the random wine drinker and some friends and relatives we had no genuine visitors. Things changed a lot in the last six months of pandemics and I am really interested to see where this is all going.

Here you can see a video Doreen Velin made of the show:

2020 OASIS Promotion

Summer is the peak of our year and as many years before this summer starts with OASIS Exhibition that is happening both online and in Peachland Art Gallery (in Peachland, BC).

I have designed all the promotional materials (online ads, poster and sandwich board) for the OASIS exhibition this year, it was volunteer work of course. Here are the ads looking fabulous just because they can.

Landscapes Exhibition

I am happy to share that my landscape painting, Evening Cruise, has been accepted into Landscapes exhibition at FCA’s federal gallery in Vancouver. This show will be running from June 15 till mid July. Looking forward to traveling to Vancouver and visiting this art show.

2020 Animalis Exhibition

This exhibition will only be an online one due to the covid19 situation.

I am very happy to announce that my painting “Do Not Disturb” will be part of the 2020 Animalis exhibition.

My painting is depicting a cat, sitting on the stone steps on a cool February afternoon in Valletta, Malta. This is not my cat, it is a street cat, but it had a really powerful attitude and was fearless. I felt a great connection with that personality so here it is, a cat called: Do Not Disturb! I have never had a pet cat nor will I ever have one, but cats often approach me so I will probably paint cats again.
