The tide that comes in over Mud Bay is influenced by freshwater discharge from both the Serpentine and the Nicomekl rivers.

“Creativity is not something we ever lose, but rather something that has just been overlooked, possibly relegated years ago to a still, unused corner of our being. However, it still remains quietly within us all, patiently waiting, just below the surface of things. Till now.”

— Nicholas Wilton

Come experience an Art2Life Workshop, designed for the absolute beginner or seasoned artist, and get inspired, again. I started the Art2Life Creative Visionary Program on February 27, 2020 after following a FREE online WORKSHOP where Nicholas took us through the first 3 Principles of Art—Design, Value & Colour. I couldn’t wait to learn more, and little did I know, it wasn’t just information we’d be getting out of this workshop, but really getting below the surface and discovering what inspires us, what we desire, and looking at our artwork from the past, present and where we imagine going in the future!

This is a 12 week online program and by the end of it I will have had an opportunity to use acrylic paints, instead of watercolour, and hopefully will be producing art that REALLY REFLECTS WHO I AM! Pretty exciting!

Étant donné les circonstances actuelles que nous vivons tous, mon exposition solo sera reportée à une date ultérieure.

Nous vous tiendrons au courant.

Merci de votre attention et bonne santé!

PERFECT for EMERGING ARTISTS, and ANYONE who wants to learn how these two artists built a thriving art business in Victoria, BC! This is one event you won’t want to miss.

Anne Bowen and Richard Wong are two well known Victoria artists who took two different routes from each other to build their successful art business.

Join us to find out how Anne’s top three selling methods work to help her sell locally and internationally. She will share her method of finding venues for displaying art with the help of brandy laced hot chocolate, as well as where and how to market your work. Hear how Richard uses his market knowledge to build a thriving, diversified business that allows one to find out who customers are and what they’ll buy, in advance!

Bring pen and paper for notes (no recording devices please), hear their stories, and have a few laughs. Both Anne Bowen and Richard Wong promises to entertain, share and tell all; the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Look for the reception date, demo times and other details closer to the date!

For now I have had to postpone several workshops due to the current world health situation. I am in the process of figuring out how to go forward in a virtual way in the future, as I have to be careful longer than most people. Stay tuned for info here and on the South Delta Artists' Guild website as we decide how to navigate technology in a way that works best for all. The dates above are a stab at when things might be up and running. To all who registered in the workshops that were supposed to run this year, I am very grateful for your interest and would love to teach for you when it's possible to find a way to give you good value.

Works on display will include ceramic sculpture, original hand-pulled prints using a variety of processes and abstracted acrylic paintings.
