The Edmonton Muse September 2019 | Page 9

Do you have any shows coming up? Where can people buy your work?

People can purchase art through me by contacting me through my email. They can also view my work on my website or following me on Facebook.

I currently, have work in the Sculpture Art Exhibition at the Airport Renaissance Hotel put on by Alexis Marie Productions Inc. The show runs till the end of September. I am also looking forward to participating in an art exhibition and sale along with other outstanding artists starting September 6th at Lotus Art Gallery in support of Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. This exhibition runs till October. Lotus Art Gallery is a small but impressive and inviting gallery.

New live-edge works and prints will be available in September at the Royal Alberta Museum Gift Shop.

What do you wish to share with us about the art scene in Edmonton in terms of how can people know where art shows are happening? 

In Edmonton there are many art shows happening all the time. Artists I know work really hard and need our communities to embrace and support the arts. Social media and news media seems to be the best way to help artists advertise shows and events. People can help by sharing artists’ posts on Facebook with their friends and family and getting involved or just by being present at events. If people like an artists’ work follow them on Facebook, sign up for their emails for more information on upcoming shows.
