New Calendar for 2012

This past fall I had, once again, the very great pleasure of working with Finesilver Design on a mini- limited edition calendar, this time, of course, for 2012. Our theme was, essentially, attention to detail, a concept dear to my heart. We also decided to make the images black and white, allowing me to revisit, via the creation of a whole series of images, that initial joy many a photographer will have shared when they first created photographic art by simply removing the encumbering presence of colour. 

The image of the rosary above did not make it into the calendar. But I couldn't resist photographing this delicate and detailed artifact which I found at Toronto's Sunday Antique Market in St. Lawrence Nighbourhood's north market. It was a fun and  interesting exercise finding and photographing objects that spoke to the theme, and then going through our respective processes of elimination.

Finesilver Design and I have limited numbers of the calendars in two slightly different designs, and with not entirely the same sets of images, for interested clients. If I have not already sent you one and you are interested please let me know.

Happy 2012!

Davis Canadian Arts

In 2011 I was thrilled to be added to the roster of artists exhibiting with John and Yolanda Davis at their new gallery/boutique in Stratford, Ontario. This year I am excited to have had a number of my new photo encaustic pieces taken on for exhibit and sale at their well established main gallery, Davis Canadian Arts. Located at 106 Ontario Street, in the heart of Stratford Ontario  (phone 519 275-3373) Davis Canadian Arts is filled with a broad range of high quality art by creators from across the county.

In A Heartbeat Gallery

In the whimsical little artists' town of Eden Mills, Ontario there is a beautiful old stone home, built around 1860, that has been lovingly transformed into an art gallery by owner/curator Michael Coull. Over the past few years Micheal has collected together a number of pieces from different bodies of my personal art work for exhibit and sale along with the eclectic and inspiring collections of a number of other artists' works in disciplines from jewellery, to pottery, to sculpture, painting and drawing. Recently I was able to add to that collection two of my favourite encaustic photo paintings from 2011. Please check with Michael for gallery hours. And let me know if you go! http://www.inaheartbeat.cc/

8th Annual The Corporate State Canada Summit

 

The photo collection above is from the Corporate State Canada 2010 summit website...once the event coordinators produce the 2011 page you will be able to see it at The Corporate State Canada. 

Once again I have had the pleasure of spending the day photographing this invitation only annual summit event attended by some of the premier women executives in Canada, and from the United States and elsewhere in the world. Not only was I tasked with capturing multitudinous candids throughout the day, but I ran a mini executive portrait studio allowing me to face the crazy challenge of creating professional quality portraits of over sixty women in about two minutes each! Speakers including such luminaries as Bonnie Brooks and Dr. Sherry Cooper were undeniably inspiring to the extent that I actually heard what they were saying as I concentrated on capturing the best images possible of their generously shared presentations and personalities. Fabulous day!

Reception: September 17, 2011, 4-7 PM
Fulfillment - Kathryn Hollinrake.
Kathryn Hollinrake's dreamy imagery blurs the lines between photography and painting. Using the metaphor of the ballet dancer Hollinrake explores the unencumbered dreams and make believe world of our childhood fantasies. A sense of mystery and spontaneity result from her technique of combining layers of encaustic medium and pencil crayon on printed photographic panels creating depths of mood and colour. Beginning as photographs, Hollinrake’s pieces end up as unique one of a kind photo-paintings.
