Look Who's In The New Issue Of What Women Create!
/
I’m proud to announce that I’m featured in the 2024 Fall Issue of WHAT Women Create magazine. The 14-page article is truly an honour and I hope you will take the time to check out this wonderful magazine.
About the article
In the article–which I wrote in the first-person–I share my journey as an artist and how I’ve arrived at this point: which is my upcoming solo exhibit of 7 large-scale paintings. The art exhibit, featuring my Drishti Paintings, runs from this November until January 2025.
The article is very personal to me as I open up about loss, grief, and depression, and how art was my saving grace. It brought me back from the edge and was essential to my healing and mental well-being.
Follow me from Vancouver, British Colulmbia to Hermosa Beach, California–where I got my first art commission–and back to Canada, where I eventually settled on Gabriola Island. My art continued to flourish, from licensing agreements with Hilton Hotels to deals with Hulu and Netflix.
I discuss my creative process, from meditation to nature walks to painting test pieces before setting to work on a large canvas. The Drishti Paintings are a decade in the making and this article really helps you understand the what and why of this series in particular and my art in general.
About WHAT Women Create magazine
WHAT Women Create is a beautiful and inspirational quarterly magazine focused on women artists and artisans. Each issue is an anthology of the processes and the passions of what our artisans and makers create.
The articles are written in first-person so you can envision being inspired in the same way as the artists and artisans. Each story celebrates courage and tenacity, and teaches us all that we, too, can create that which comes from our soul, that which is seen through our eyes, and that which is made by our own hands.
The magazine is available in print and online.
