It's Official - Exhibition Season is Underway!!

My friend and photographic collaborator Rob Michiel and I have our duo exhibition showing at SEVEN galleries over the next 15 months or so.  Most of these exhibitions are for our show, Procession West, which previously showed in 2013 at three galleries... The Art Gallery of Regina, McMullen Gallery here in Edmonton, and the Spruce Grove Art Gallery.  We also have a variation on that show that we call Ag2.  This is Ag, the atomic symbol for silver, and 2 for squared, or duo, because it is a show that includes two photographers.
The Ag2 show will be exhibited at the Leighton Art Centre in Calgary as part of the province wide Exposure Photo Festival in February.  There are photographic exhibitions showing at venues province wide through the month of February.  Here is the official invitation to our upcoming exhibition.



I have a couple of prints included in a group exhibition here in Edmonton, that is also part of this same festival.  The show here in Edmonton is called InFocusYEG.  I was included in last year's version of this show, and I now have two prints included this year.  The curator of the Edmonton show, Alexis Marie Chute, has included a neat feature as part of the group exhibition.  There is a People's Choice Award and everyone is invited to vote, up to once per day until the start of the festival, for their favorite image.  There are a selection of images on line that are included, and one of mine is in this group.  Please feel free to have a look and vote for whatever you like.  This is NOT a call for people to vote for me, please consider this in the true spirit in which it is intended.  Here is the link...


Once the festival wraps up I will be kept busy shuffling our prints from place to place and attending gallery openings and artist talks.  

Procession West will show at the Okotoks Art Gallery through March and April.

After the Exposure Festival, the Ag2 show will move to the Lebel Mansion Gallery in Pincher Creek, Alberta for April and May.

Procession West will show at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery at some point later this spring, probably May.

Procession West will move to the Summerland Art Gallery for August and September.

In early 2017 we will show in the Vancouver area and in Saskatoon.

There are still a few more submission packages under review by juries and further shows could still materialize.

I am also working on a couple of solo projects that will be sent out in the months to come and hopefully that leads to further opportunities.
