Looking forward to a new residency in 2018.  2017 Residency at Oak Bay Beach Hotel was a wonderful experience.  Artist in Residence, Artishow program through Victoria Arts Council yet to be confirmed for the month of October 2018.  Looking forward to having a number of new pieces including the new 6 x 8 and 8 x 10 photo pieces.  I am currently working on a new series and will offer here as soon I have a piece completed and ready to be photographed. 
As soon as I have confirmation I will post it here and on my Facebook visual arts page Shores of Victoria.  Always an exciting experience to show new pieces, meet new people and offer demos. 

2018 will see a new collection of photographs to offer prints and use in encaustic pieces.  I have been out to the beautiful shores of Victoria, taking pictures of waves, ocean, beach and sky. Collecting treasures, stones, sea glass, seaweed, driftwood....  There are so many treasures.

News:
It has taken a few months and creating the new series in memory of my dear friend, to be ready to open the studio for workshops.  I do hope you can understand and hope that you are ready for a fun day in the studio.  I am ready.
Must apologize for not scheduling workshops for November 2017 - January and February 2018.  Due to a devastating, personal loss I was unable to open the studio for workshops.

Call a couple friends and come for a fun day in the studio together.
​Workshops consists of a day starting at 10 am. We will start with a photo transfer in the morning, as it is the most technical but helps to give everyone an experience working with the molten encaustic medium.  The afternoon will be an opportunity to use your creative talents.  You will go home with at least 2 pieces each day.  If requesting the second day, a second photo transfer can be done, as this is a technical process the second day will aid in perfecting the technique.    
One day workshop $85, two days $160.
Limited to 2-3 participants. 
Scheduling dates:
Thursday, March 22 
Friday, March 23
Thursday, April 12
Friday, April 13  
​ 
Workshops:    Registration required
All materials supplied, except personal photos for transfer technique.
