My Art From the Unknown Gallery selections

I cut and pasted this from my Facebook so it could be shared more widely:

Back in the fall, I excitedly posted on social media that I was chosen to display my art at Rachel Notley’s “Art from the Unkown” gallery in Edmonton. I didn’t make it there in person due to mobility issues but in honor of the opportunity I decided that I’d still choose pieces and make placards to display online this year. So on the last new moon of 2024, welcome to my online “Art from the Unkown” gallery collection!

Each piece was created with so much joy and with hopes to spark joy in others! The placards tell the story of the collection, describe my creative process, and comment on each artwork. If you decide to scroll through I hope that you enjoy! 🌲✨

Griffith Woods

I’ve always been a night hawk, but this year I’ve gotten up before dawn more days than not and ventured to Griffith woods park. Griffith woods is a new discovery for me, and a nature oasis on the outskirts of Calgary.  Its trails sneak alongside the Elbow river, through wettlands and white spruce forest, all home to so many woodland friends.

On  summer walks I have seen or heard  over forty species of birds, including sandpipers (with their gorgeous lanky legs), purple green swallows and the low pitched hoot of the resident great horned owl (who apparently nests there every Spring). A pelican once surprised me, swooping out of hidden wetlands and flying so low  overhead  that I instinctively ducked! A couple of mornings I  watched a female moose wade slowly, drinking, framed by the first light of dawn, the movement of water as she walked like gentle healing music.

At the beginning of each walk I’d invite all forest creatures to join me if they want to, including the fairies and other mystical forest dwellers. And some  days I would hear so many songs and calls suddenly, and see what seemed like a hundred birds all at once appearing around me, seemingly all  communicating and connected by what felt like a magical force.  My friend Marcia calls it bird mind, a term that I just love! Whenever I was lucky enough to feel a part of it I would stand still for as long as I could, or until the party of birds went on there way as suddenly as they appeared.

Some days  I’d rush home just dying to show what I experienced and what bird or animal (or gigantic bright moon descending) that I saw, through art. Much of the art  that I created  and posted here this past year started  from these impulses.

Below is a small selection of the art that I created, all in my galleries and available as limited edition prints.
