Two weeks ago my work was on display at Viva Vida Art Gallery as part of their series of 'Curbside' exhibitions, a series of outdoor exhibitions throughout August and September. In this inventive series Viva Viva Vida Art Gallery owner Nedia El Khouri decided to bring their exhibitions outside on the sidewalk so people can experience art in in a safe environment during these difficult times.
We had an absolute blast! It was so much fun to connect with people both on Friday night's vernissage event as well as over the weekend when I spent time painting outside. So many old and new friends and collectors came by to see the work and have a chat, it was wonderful to see people having a drink one the terrace across the street and wandering over afterwards because seeing me work peeked their interest.
I even got to catch up with some dear friends from Japan! Seeing them warmed my heart and made the country that I miss dearly feel just a little closer.
Last week the lovely Christine Long from CTV visited the gallery to do a story on this most recent series of exhibitions at Viva Vida Art Gallery. We chatted about this brilliant opportunity to share my work in an environment where people feel safe. You can view the full tv article here or by clicking on the image below.
