The Show!

Last week was quite a week.  The Imprints Print Show and Sale was an unqualified success.  It was wonderful to work with Lisa and Sarka.  Three heads are definetely better than one!  Sarka brought her extensive  experience with putting on these shows and Lisa, whose background is in graphic design, handled all of the posters, invitations and signs.  The McKay Art Centre is a beautiful venue.  It was built between 1845 and 1851, and was home to Fred H Varley of the Group of Seven for the last 12 years of his life.

We had a reception with wine and hors d'oeurves, a tea with artists, demontrations and printmaking for children.   No wonder I'm a little tired!  The real highlight of the week for me was when my all time favorite illustrator Vladyana Krykorka visited the show with her daughter.  I must have read "A Promise is a Promise" a million times to my kids and her watercolours inspired me to start painting in watercolor.  Of course I've since turned to other media, but her playful style has always been an inspiration.  She turned out to be just as charming in person as you would imagine her to be from her beautiful and whimsical illustrations.
Here's a few highlights from the Imprints show!

I'm glad that you had such a wonderful time - it was well-deserved! The photos look great and it must have been really cool to have your favourite illustrator visit. Congratulations! :)

Thanks Ann, Kim and Ingrid! Kim, "composed" is not how I'd describe myself when I met Vladyana, hehe...not only was she there, but her daughter and her were buying my work so I felt kind of like I was having a very good dream!
