Kamloops Gala Art Auction Tonight

Image from building in Paris

I am headed up to Kamloops for the Art Auction tonight. It is against my usual practice of sitting home working in my studio or cleaning my environment… physically or psychically. To go out and socialize is difficult for me however much I look like an extrovert.

It is wonderful that so many artist contribute art for charitable purposes and principally to help fund galleries and social causes. Hey Stephen Harper. I know you play the piano a little. I hear you stumble over the words to describe your daughter’s attraction to art. Almost like a staunch conservative describing a “gay” son or daughter. ” My daughter…she is…. she is (long pause) kind of … she likes art.” Oh the lack of alacrity, the dearth of language, the hesitancy.

Well it is the artists who live at the bottom of the well and get by on very, very little that are the first to contribute to children’s causes, cancer charity fund raisers, drug rehabilitation drives, animal shelters and local art galleries and programs. Some of us have donated as much as we have made in profits in the past few years. Ever wonder how much Stephen Harper is donating to these causes…. judging by his funding of the same on a national level…. I would venture to guess it is not proportional by income.

Artists are the heart and soul of a society. Do we remember the business men of Greece, Rome and Italy? Do we have people lining up to see the athletic scores of competitions held back then? NO. It is the artists be they “big names” or anonymous that lift our spirits that make us feel connected to the humanity that is universal.

So I will go and meet the other artists. They are my inspiration.

Shot Gun, Firing into the Universe

Is it scattered? Perhaps. But the energy that I am expending to move my art into a world of recognition is consistent and on many fronts. Am I talking war? Not exactly. But there is a sense of hitting the target, finding the sweet spot, bringing home the vegan bacon… all of that.

First the fundraiser for the Rotary Centre for the arts has the web site that my dear friend Julia has put up to showcase the works. http://www.juliatrops.com/diamante/artistsinfo/hanson.html

I have done a submission to Energy Gallery because I really appreciate the work that David Cheung goes to to promote his artists. http://www.energygallery.com/

Today I am also finishing my submission to the 3rdward, for their fall show. I worked up images about my feelings of being a wild animal trapped in the kitchen. Scary and powerful. Don’t keep a jungle beast or a critter meant to run the veld in a kitchen. Nothing good can come of it. http://www.3rdward.com/

While I was working on other projects, I revisited some images that I have created for the Kelowna Art Gallery show INTERPLAY BETWEEN SELF AND FORM which will be submitted the 16th of October. http://www.galleries.bc.ca/kelowna/what%27s_new.htm

Also coming up is the Kamloops Art Gallery Art Auction. I was approached about submitting a piece to be in the community gallery for two weeks and then auctioned off as a fund raiser. I donated blue/gold which is one of my favorite pieces. I continue to try to support local and B.C. arts in the only way I can and that is through donations. http://www.kag.bc.ca/

Meanwhile I am working away on the article for in/ur magazine. I love the edgy, informative look of this relatively new periodical and invite everyone to go have a boo. http://www.inurmagazine.com/

I welcome any news about art opportunities, possible shows and certainly embrace the possibility of finding galleries out there in that vast world that are interested in carrying my work.

See, I am no longer combative. I am not using arms…except to embrace. It’s what they are meant to do.

May your day be filled with love and opportunity.Good girls like to cook
