New Work
These last two weeks have felt like I’m on a spring break! The Artists’ Workshop Show & Sale was April 15-17th which meant some focused show preparation time leaving other things undone. I have enjoyed the change of pace and checking some of those things off of my to-do list.
I have still been working though, and these four ‘spring break’ birds are framed and ready to go! (Actually since I started this post one has already been sold!)

Spring Break Gallery Stop
One day last week I drove out to the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern to see an exhibit called “Hello In There Hello Out There”. This project was a collaboration of artists and Saskatchewan seniors. They worked together to write out stories from the seniors and then create dioramas to depict the memories. It was great to see how the Rosthern school engaged with the show with some students creating dioramas of their own and other classes coming to view and reflect on the stories.

As well as the visual art they have a wonderful tea room and live theatre in the summer. See the Station Arts Centre website for more information.
My next project is to create, and mail them some postcard sized art!
From June 21 – August 7th they are having a Postal Art Fundraising Exhibit. Individuals have been invited to mail them postcard sized art which will be auctioned to help keep the arts alive in Rosthern. If you are interested in participating see Postcards to the Station: a Postal Art Fundraising Exhibit. It will be fun to see what they receive!
I hope you too are enjoying a spring break!
