Visiting with Angela Grossman before the opening of the  Foundation Exhibition.

I wasn't able to sit with Santa at the party today.  I did better than that, Landon Mackenzie and Renee van Halm welcomed me to their table.

On Friday evening, I got an opportunity to get to Liz Ingram's opening at Malaspina.  Liz is part of the fabulous print team at the Universtiy of Alberta and produces some of the best prints and drawings being made in western Canada.

Bob Boyer passed away unexpectedly four years ago today.  He was one of Canada's great artists and a good friend.  We always had a good time together, I learned much from him, and I deeply respect him.  Along the way we also were able to smoke a few cigars together in Fort McMurray and Regina.  I dug through boxes of

Print buddies Mark Bovey from NSCAD and Otis Tamasauskas from Queen's at the Southern Graphics Council annual conference in Richmond, VA. Photo credit to Vanessa Hall-Patch.

This picture from David Alexander's opening this afternoon at the Bau Xi Gallery.  Dave isn't seen in the city that frequently, nor is his work.  Take this opportunity to view the show (up until March 29) and find out what he is doing.

Tonight I cruised over to Shin Minegishi's opening at Malaspina Printmaker’s Society.  Check out Shin’s work if you get an opportunity.  But just to make it more fun, I took along Peter von Tiesenhausen who is in town to begin work on a project in Stanley Park. Peter spoke yesterday at Emily Carr.  The student's really responded to his work and ideas.
