Some expertly carved pumpkins and gourds decorated the studio last weekend during the 2011 Central Art Walk. Over 150 visitors came by to view the works of our 7 artists, and many more visited the other studios on the Saturday and Sunday. Luckily, the weather held out and gave us the only 2 sunny days in the past few weeks.
Good Weather Coming
Looks like a perfect weekend for the Central Art Walk this year! Hope to see you all at the studio!

This is a piece I did for the Waterloo Gallery’s ARTifact(ory) exhibit. It’s “an artistic and historic collaboration celebrating Waterloo’s architectural heritage
featuring Button Factory artists”.
The piece commemorates the Seagram Bonded Warehouse at 57 Erb St. West in Waterloo.

FUEL
I’ll be attending the FUEL exhibition on May 14th, 2011, at Minds Eye Studio, hosted by Jennifer Gough. I’ll have several new works on display, along with several other artists.
In celebration of our 5th anniversary Minds Eye Studio Art will be hosting FUEL.
FUEL is an art exhibition inspired by the concept of creative ideas acting as fuel for artists. Posing the question What Fuels your passion? What drives you to create?
This exhibition is centered around the creative processes, muses and the inspiration of artists. It explores the idea of fuel as a creative motivator, a conceptual feeding of the mind.
In turn, food can also be considered fuel. By partnering with the Food Bank of Waterloo Region we hope to combine feeding the mind and filling the belly by selling original works of art and collecting donations for the food bank. For every donation guests will be given a ticket which will be entered into a draw at the end of the night. We will be giving away some amazing prizes generously donated by our sponsors.
Doors will open at 7:30 pm. Please come out and join us for an inspirational evening of Art, Community, and enlightenment!
Sponsors include Sloane & Pinchen, barristers and solicitors, Weiland Ford, Oomph Organic, Monster Farm, Becky Williamson RMT, and Andrea Martin Photography. Center in The Square, THEMUSEUM, and Little Mushroom catering.
