Summer-Haze – acrylic 40″ x 30″ SOLD

Dear Friends,

Welcome to a NEW YEAR! 2014 is upon us and I hope it’s a good one for you all.
Many of you have asked me about my art, so I’ve decided to start a Newsletter. It will come out irregularly when I have something special to report…or when I have some extra time on my hands. (Ha!)
The following are some highlights coming up soon…

SEYMOUR ART GALLERY SHOW AND RECEPTION
My painting, Summer Haze, (above) was accepted into the DISCOVERY: AIR Show at the Seymour Gallery in Deep Cove.
The gallery will be having an Opening Reception on Sunday, January 12th, from 2-4 pm. You’re all invited to join us.
The Seymour Gallery is at 4360 Gallant Avenue in Deep Cove and is open from 10 am-5 pm seven days a week. The show will be up until February 1st.

SEYMOUR GALLERY ‘ART MEETS POETRY’ AFTERNOON
Then, on Sunday, January 26th at 2:00 pm, award-winning poet, Fran Bourassa, will be hosting an afternoon of poetry written by local writers inspired by the artworks on display.
Audience members can participate by reciting their own exhibition-influenced poem during the “Open Mike” portion of the afternoon.
Drop by and see if my painting inspires a budding e.e. cummings…or try writing a poem yourself!

ARTIST RESIDENCY AT THE BANFF CENTRE FOR THE ARTS
For the month of March, I’ve been accepted at the BANFF CENTRE FOR THE ARTS to do an Artist’s Residency in Painting.
There, while I paint in my own little studio in the magical world of Banff and the Rocky Mountains, I will be fed and taken good care of while meeting respected artists and performers from all over the world.
Going to the BANFF CENTRE is a lifelong dream of mine…and IT’S COMING TRUE!!! I can’t wait!

Until my next Newsletter appears unexpectedly…
Many thanks for your support,

JOYCE
