Rumors Notes

WINGS AND STROKES
Exhibit of ArtEx Photographs – My first public art exhibit ran last Jan 9 to Feb 19, 2010 at the Muttart Conservatory. Muttart is Edmonton's premier horticultural attraction and a favourite place for children and adults, local and tourists alike. Its architecture features four beautiful glass pyramids filled with rare and wonderful plants from all over the world... and it is also very much part of my history in Edmonton...

In 2002 and in the Tropical Pyramid, surrounded by family friends and orchids in full bloom, Bruce and I got married. It was also here where, taking advantage of the beauty of its flowers and landscapes I did my ‘first steps’ into photography and where I frequently go and find refuge from Edmonton’s winters.

For all the above, it was a great honour for me that it was the Muttart Conservatory where I did my artistic public debut showcasing my Artistically Expressed photographs in an exhibit entitled Wings and Strokes. The show ran successfully for six weeks and I sold almost 50% of the exhibited images which were fourty two.

Check the images at the ArtEx Gallery for a taste of the show!
