Welcoming in the new year with the completion of a wool scarf for a local resident before a two month hiatus to work on some new projects. January and February bring a relief from the day to day commitment of being at the studio to explore other mediums and some teaching. Recently I have been added to the Salt Spring Artists in the Class catalogue. This has me teaching an hour a week art class to Fulford Elementary School Grade 3-4 classroom, see my new blog - Art Kids.
Added to this is training for a 10K run with a gradual 14 week training program of 3 x 45 minute training sessions a week. I hope to complete the run in mid April with my friend Shannon.
On the creative front I will be creating an art piece for a summer exhibit with some fellow SSpring artists with the theme of Memory using salvaged materials. I will be creating a dress sculpture using found textiles that explores identity and memory, will keep you posted
