Three Artists Share Their Plans

It’s always exciting to ask the members of The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS online gallery what are you excited about in the coming year? When we asked them in December 2023, we received replies from these members and are delighted to share the news with you. 

Please visit the artists’ pages and their websites to view more of their art and learn more about them. Contact them directly to purchase their art.

I am hoping I will be able to go on a painting journey with Flavours Holidays. They have wonderful European trips for artists where they take care of the lodging and most of the food. Then you can spend your days painting and making new friends. I have not traveled as much because of Covid and am looking forward to a European painting trip.

After the successful launch last month of my book on the indigenous dance festival of the state of Puebla, Mexico, titled “Huey Atlixcayotl – The Art in a Gaze, I am most looking forward to its publication in the US next year. The Mexican edition, in Spanish, will be reformatted into a bilingual version for the US market available on Amazon. The original photographs were taken in the late 1970s and early 1980s and then digitized in 2021 and 2022.

Creativity makes demands of me. The gentle breeze of change roars through my passion calling me to pivot. Intention must lead to action. So, January 1st, I closed my Central Art Studio and Gallery after 8 years, I moved 3.5 hour distance into the wilder areas of Vancouver Island. My new studio is the forest and beach. I am simplifying routines to allow travel, and more painting plein-air. Allowing in-person acceptance of invitations on awards and participation in distant shows. I will help my daughter with her children’s charity which teaches life skills using the great outdoors as the classroom. I will continue growing my online presence, proudly working with amazing people such as Renee Phillips. Certainly a WOW NOW year!
