Art heals. I've seen again and again. Clients have told me art reduces pain more than drugs. It feeds the spirit and increases wellness. No side effects. Canadian doctors are now prescribing art. It's about time! #artheals #modernpharma #canada #arttherapy https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45972348

Australian artist, Patricia Piccinini, spoke about her show, Curious Imaginings, at the Patricia Hotel in Vancouver, BC. I was captivated by her artist talk. Her works are typically shown in world-class museums. This is a rare opportunity to experience her collection in a setting that naturally underlines the messages of the work including empathy, connection and acceptance. Must-see!

New work!! Keepers of the Coast explores the sculptural potential of minimalist painting. String binds the work and creates texture, tension and fragmentation. A single kintsugi-inspired gold line speaks to repair and history. Poured paint augments expression resulting in layered forms reminiscent of the magical mountains seen in my travels to Cappadocia, Turkey. Simultaneously, this abstract landscape depicts the essence of Canada’s beautiful West Coast. Keepers of the Coast is named to draw attention to the important work of Doug Neasloss, elected Klemtu Chief and Central Coast Resource Alliance (CCIRA) board director. The painting’s name is drawn from the film of the same name by Aaron Heidt that looks at how the Kitasoo/Xai’Xais, Heiltsuk, Nuxalk, and Wuikinuxv Nations are stewarding their marine territories. I have done several creative projects with the Kitasoo/Xai'Xais nation and support their goal to create sustainable environments, healthy local economies and communities by working together. Their work impacts far beyond this region! By purchasing this painting, 35% of your investment goes to CCIRA helping further its initiatives.
