Trees Of Hope 2023

This fine group of Mountain Galleries artists painted live in the foyer of the Chateau Whistler Fairmont for their annual Trees of Hope Fundraiser event in support of Canuck Place Children's Hospice. Our paintings will be donated, placed on an online auction, and then displayed outside the Mallard Lounge. It's such a fantastic event for a very important cause. Also, one of the few times I get to talk shop...alot.

Whistler Wine Walk

Arts Whistler writes: 

Experience a new taste of Whistler’s eclectic cultural mix on this guided walking tour. This tour starts at Mountain Galleries. On this guided Wine Walk, enjoy a glass of wine and interactive art experiences as you peruse art at four art galleries and culminating your journey at the Audain Art Museum with a guided tour and short curatorial talk, plus more wine, canapes and music. The Whistler Wine Walk is in partnership with
#gowhistler and #fairmountwhistlr.

It was a pleasure to be invited to paint live during the Wine Walk through the Mountain Galleries, and talk with so many art enthusiasts!

An Intensive Art Workshop with Brian Atyeo

Using acrylic paint, we explored this medium pushing it in wonderfully organic ways using transparent and opaque layers. The goal is to create depth using strong contrast in both tonal and color value, and richness to our paintings. It was a fun group of dedicated artists who gather yearly to work with Brian and gleen insights into his methodology and perhaps have some of it spill into our work. If nothing else, the beautiful Pemberton setting was soothing for the artistic soul.

Whistler Art Residency

Met so many wonderful people, young and old. A team of young dancers dropped on a regular basis to see the progress on my paintings. It’s nice to connect with people and luxuriate in the comforts of the Chateau Fairmont Whistler. Well this makes three art residencies with Mountain Galleries this summer!

Jasper and Banff AIR Fond Memories

Putting the finishing touches on The Skeptic

With the close of my two Artist Residencies in the Rockies, I take home many smiles, and great memories. I witnessed the professionalism of the Mountain Galleries team, chatted with happy travellers, and had the rare opportunity to share my art process with everyone. AIR nourished my creative soul.

Art Documentation

An important component of my art is to have it properly documented. I leave that to the professionals. Over the years Alan @fidelisartprints, digitally captures my paintings and carefully ensures that colors align with the originals. No more glare, unwanted shadows, and surprises. What you see is what you get.
