Game Summit to feature “geeky” art

Announcing geeky art at Game Summit, Gatineau, Quebec, CanadaThis year, Game Summit and Ottawa Geek Market have teamed up to provide an expansive 50,000 square feet of games, game designer lab, board game pavilion, tournaments, miniatures arena, workshops, merchants, and 70 exhibitors. Those exhibitors include artists of gaming graphics, and fine artists who happen to have a geeky side. Yes, I’m one of the geeky artists. 🙂 I’ll have a double-booth full of art, one of which will be “Man in a Gas Mask” (above) paper-tile mosaic. It is an homage to surrealist painter René Magritte‘s Man in a Bowler Hat.

Canadian Tire art show – Jan 15-Mar 5

OSA show at Canadian TireMy work has been selected for a solo show in Ottawa School of Art’s (OSA) offsite gallery located in the Exit Lobby of Canadian Tire. An odd location for a gallery or the perfect place to introduce people —1000 people per day!!!— to local art? I’ve already sold 3 artworks at that location in previous shows.

  • Canadian Tire (the Exit Lobby is an OSA offsite gallery)
  • 330 Coventry Rd., Ottawa.
  • Jan. 15 – Mar 5, 2013

Thank you: public and Spiral Gallery In addition to our annual studio tour in autumn, I and six other West End Studio Tour (W.E.S.T.) artists created a 3-day winter exhibit at Spiral Gallery in the heart of ‘Little Italy’. To our great delight, you and your friends came out in fine form and numbers to enjoy art of the season.

I and fellow W.E.S.T. artists Deidre Hierlihy, Rob Huntley, Manju Sah, Barb Sohn, Paul Wing and Paula Zoubek thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support. Also, a big thank-you to our “space partner”, Spiral Gallery. What a sweet locale and gracious host. 🙂
