Time between projects

Lately I have been working on some smaller mixed media pieces. These are done of recycled plywood bits with pages from Shakespeare, a bit of paint, some drawings in ink then coated with resin. My theme for this work was inspired by some of the yoga poses I do everyday. If you are a yogi you'll get it, otherwise they are just insects and birds. Anyway here are some photos.

They are for sale so send me an email if you are interested. They would make great gifts and it is that time of year. Peace and blessings to all.

We have a project blog where we are documenting the process, check it out www.thunderbirdmosaic.blogspot.com Here is a photo of the design.

South Arm Community Centre mosaics are up!!!

It started early this morning under sunny blue skies. 25 idividual mosaics of birds, flowers, insects and leaves wrap around the centre. It all went smoothly other than a slight glitch getting the lift stuck in the playground. No one lost their cool though and we proceeded using ladders which worked just fine.
The South Arm Community Centre is located at 8880 Williams Road,Richmond, B.C.

Eat, Drink, Take an Art Class at Raw Canvas!

I will teaching mixed media painting classes at Raw Canvas in March. Raw Canvas is a really cool wine / tapas bar in Yaletown and registration is through them.

On its most basic level, art is visual expression. This course focuses on the capacity to be expressive. Using a variety of media, students will explore drawing, painting, and collage during which live jazz guitar will be performed and plenty of wine is available. The dynamic of combining mediums is the focus of this course. A series of projects, reinforced with technical assistance, will enable students to fully explore this exciting approach to making art. Classes are small for lots of individual attention.

All supplies will be provided which includes 2 canvases (choice of sizes available are 24x18, 30x15, 20x20)

4 Sunday sessions from 3-6 pm, $250 + hst

First session March 6 – call 604-687-1729 or email matthew@rawcanvas.com to enroll.

Thunderbird Mosaic Project starting soon
