Just finished my first week of Art School...
I had that incredible feeling throughout all my classes, of pure excitement. Pure joy of being in a new learning environment doing something I love with other individuals who cherish the same experience. I can recall waiting for this moment for almost six years now... I was 13 and just about to begin high school and was in Vancouver B.C. I was visiting the Emily Carr Campus and enviously watched all these wonderful "boho B.C Artist girls" bustling about to their summer courses on Granville Island. I admired their independence, and the extraordinary opportunity to be constantly- in such a beautiful, creative nurturing environment. And now, my time has finally come...
I am also very excited to welcome some new readers to my site. I am ecstatic to be connecting more and more with this beautiful online blogging community. There are so many incredible like minded spirited women, artists, mamas and sisters who share little pieces of their day to day on lives on their beautiful blogs allowing us to be all the much more creatively interconnected. So today I wish to thank you all these wonderful women. Thank you for inspiring.
Today I stayed at school extra late, preparing my studio to begin an encaustic wax piece. Being Friday night most other youngsters were out on the town so I had the echo inducing rooms, with bright halogens and get me messy sinks all to myself! And how lovely that there is a Pizzeria right next door ;) Talk about convenience!
It was an evening to treat me and to fully embrace my creativity! (which was also apparently homework!?! Gee wiz!)
I am all about Fibre right now- I am honestly overwhelmed by the Fibre Structures Studios at Concordia, its blowing my blissful? mind. Loom after loom, dozens of spinners, drum carders, endless silks, dyes and beautiful embroidery thread and Oh the Sergers!
Tomorrow I am attending an opening Exhibit at Diagonale Les Centre Des Arts et Des Fibres Montreal to fuel this ever growing colourful and fibre infused inspiration of mine
And at the moment Abagail Doan, a blogger, mother and incredible Fibre Installation Artist is blowing my mind...
