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.

Art for those on the Forward Edge

The glow of windows on the fabric of life, digital

I have been thinking a lot lately about who the perfect customer is for my art. Those who seem to fall in love with it are graphic and fine art students. Others are people who live in several cities. And, also, healing practictioners love the fields of energy depicted in my work. What have these people have in common: not income, not age demographics, not philosophy of life. They are all very much into exploring the Urban environment and finding unique ways to express themselves. Hence the slogan…

Another concept that I have been able to stand back and formulate from observing my work is that it has different life in differing light. Because Kelowna is brilliantly tropical in lighting over the summer and then plunged into a gloomy gray throughout most of the rest of the year, a work of art has to live in different levels of illumination. I have been painting into the images with the idea of giving the work a totally distinct personality depending on the conditions. The background blacks move to the forefront as the evening arrives and the art light bathes the surface. During mid day, the light washes over the surface and brings up the metallics, the layering of green, gold, red or blue beneath the glass bead. At times, the foreground is one structure and at another time of day, the foreground is another structure.

A lot of males that experience suffer with thoughts of incompleteness; they order cialis uk experience un-manly, poor, and very insecure. Like the personality of individuals, there is a shifting of qualities. Also, I have begun to realize that what I am painting IS energy fields. It is interesting to see that so much of my life experience is in my work: dance training, theatrical training, lyrical love of music and spiritual practice. The work has found me, I have not found it. I let the work itself drive the exploration.

We watched a dvd last night called “Cooking your Life.” Focused on a Zen retreat whereby the participants cook and bake in order to explore themselves, the video is inspiring. One Zen student said, “When people ask, ‘ how are you?’ I answer, ‘I am baking bread.’ ” When people say to me how do you get the idea for your art, I know that the art has the idea of me.
