From June 27 to July 17 the Federation Gallery has their “On the Edge” exhibition running virtually. I am honored to have a sculpture featured in this show! Check out https://federationgallery.com/exhbit/on_the_edge_2022/3367

The On the Edge exhibition is one of the Federation Gallery's most vibrant and eagerly anticipated exhibitions of the year. This is an opportunity for artists to showcase work that poses a challenge to themselves and the viewer. They test their creative boundaries by experimenting with media in new and unusual ways, and then share the results in this exceptional exhibition! Including both sculpture and two dimensional works, these works invite you to linger, to take a closer look and examine in depth the message within the medium. Please enjoy the 2022 On the Edge Exhibition!

Shape and Form Exhibition Federation Gallery in Vancouver

I have a sculpture, “UN-Supportive” being shown in the Federation Gallery in Vancouver (Granville Island) from August 30 to September 12, 2021.

“Indulge in the beauty of exploring shape and form. Let your eyes wander around the surface of these works, taking in all of their shapely details. Think thick and thin lines, negative and positive space, lustrous curves, and sharp edges. Using a variety of media, our artists showcase their abstract pieces that use the language of shape, and their representational works that convey their reverence for form.”
