Happy Holidays!

 

It has been quite a year, even without the pandemic we knew 2020 was going to be a big year for us. Way back in February I was very lucky to be able to travel to Toronto for the Artist Project, where I introduced my wonderful new series 'World on Washi' to my collectors in Canada. 

In June I was able to have a wonderful solo exhibition at Esplanade Gallery, a gorgeous little gallery in Nagoya, with a mandatory mask policy and visits by appointment we were able to have a beautiful, safe and very successful exhibition. 

And then in July it was time to say goodbye to beautiful Japan and move back to Montréal, Canada. Of course traveling in the midst of a pandemic was a little challenging and we had a 2 week quarantine to deal with after we arrived but we made it. 

In September I had a wonderful, safe and social distanced solo exhibition at Viva Vida Art Gallery in Montréal, it was so lovely to reconnect with my collectors here in Montréal.

In October we moved into our new home in Saint Jerome, about 45 minutes north of Montréal, all our boxes arrived safely from Japan and we're mostly settled now. I have an awesome new studio space where I have been spending a lot of time these last few weeks!

If the pandemic allows I have some wonderful things lined up for 2021. Although it has been moved to April the Artist Project is still being planned so if all goes well I'll be traveling back to Toronto in April to present some wonderful new works. I am also still working with the amazing Latitude 44 Gallery in Toronto and Viva Vida Art Gallery in Montréal. I have a few other things in the works so keep an eye on my news page!

In the mean time I would like to wish you all a wonderful Holiday season and an awesome 2021!

New works!

 

I know, it's been a while since my last update, I've been spending some quality time in my new studio. It usually takes my at least a couple of months to get back into the swing of things after moving so I really needed to take some time to be in my new space without any distractions. Luckily I was able to prep a good number of pieces before I left Japan so I had about 12-15 pieces that were all ready for painting. Having these meant I didn't have to spend any brain space deciding what needed to be done, I could just grab a painting get to work. 

The result of this is that I now have a nice bunch of new pieces to share, I haven't finished all of them, there are still quite a few waiting for me while I type this. But I thought I'd share with you some of the pieces that have kept me busy these past few weeks. If there's anything that catches your eye you can always contact me at info@denisebuismanpilger.com for more information about pricing and shipping. And of course, as always, giclee prints are available as well.
