‘Gliding In’ Solo Exhibition - Toronto, Canada
My new show ‘Gliding In’ is opening on Friday, October 20th, 2023 from 7-9pm at Dianna Witte Gallery in Toronto. I will be in Toronto to attend the opening and to attend Art Toronto the following week. I look forward to seeing you at the opening.
The show consists of 28 new works. These include both 16 works on canvas and 12 paper works that I completed this past summer.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
In this new group of paintings I have taken an even closer look at the natural world, and in particular, focusing on some of the climate-fueled events of this past year, from forest fires to flooding. But for this exhibit I have chosen to force myself to turn the corner and apply a positive outlook on our current predicament. With this work I have strived to portray this new perspective; perhaps one that can help us to carry on.
Stylistically my work has evolved this year and by observing the patterns of birds gliding over the landscapes in front of me, I noticed a pattern of line and flow to their movements. It inspired me to embrace my love for drawing as a way to express my personal reaction to the subject of each new canvas.
I am excited to share it in this new exhibition at my first show in the new Dianna Witte Gallery space. And as I ‘glide in’ on an airplane to Toronto, it seems to be the perfect title for the exhibition.
