Art Gallery of Regina. https://www.artgalleryofregina.ca/ OUTSIDE THE BOX GROUP EXHIBITION Jewellery Artists Guild of Regina group exhibition. December 4th 2020 to February 25th 2021 Exhibition name: Silver Linings Just before the lock-down I was exploring a new jewellery technique fusing. This freed up time period allowed me to experiment and have fun with this new skill, which is a more spontaneous approach and constitutes a more organic unplanned outcome compared to my traditional way of making jewellery. I thoroughly enjoyed this reprieve from normalcy and took full advantage of it by playing, relaxing and enjoying nature and that is my SILVER LINING!

STATEMENT: Being on the lock-down was like being on a sabbatical which allowed me to have lots of free time to pursue my other passion, painting on canvas. Something I don’t usually have time for when running my jewellery business and instructing jewellery classes. While enjoying the fabulous summer weather, I set up my easel outside and spent many creative days painting in the fresh air. Painting taps into a different area of my brain from that which I would use for jewellery making, a more spontaneous momentum compared to the more methodical approach to creating jewellery. I chose the bicycle as my subject matter because it signified the freedom I experience while riding, to compensate for other freedoms that were taken away by the lockdown and the forced isolation. Bike riding allowed me the oportunity to commune with nature, enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
