Art Battle

 

Fun times as always at the Kamloops Art Battle.  I'm always humbled by the incredible talent that crawls out of the wood work for this event. 

 

I didn't see who bought my Bad Ass Beauty, but rumor has it she has found a home at Kamloops Innovation.  I feel pretty good about that, like a proud mama. 

 

My art has had a heavy tone over the past few months and I've taken a diversion and just having some fun with some new works in progress.  You can swing by my Instagram account @sheshewolf to see my #wips and whimsies or 'Like' my Facebook Page for more frequent updates. 

 

 



Kamloops Art Battle

This weekend I participated in my first Art Battle.  I was impressed and humbled by the talent in the room, but it was such a warm, welcoming and encouraging environment.  Our hosts, Jennifer and Micheal O'Brian of 4Cats Studio, are such energetic supporters of emerging artists and create this atmosphere.  

I can't wait for the next one!

The piece I produced emerged from the current political climate shaking the world.  One woman commented "it makes me feel things", which is the greatest compliment I could receive, and reminded me of the role art has to play in our daily lives.  Whether the aim is to create a calming emotion, to titillate or to challenge, art that moves us, even a little, has done its job.
