FOCUS GALLERY, SEPTEMBER 1 - 30, 2023
Nature...
Nothing prepared me for what I found in the Yukon when we moved to Whitehorse last year.
For the first three months I couldn’t draw a single line. I felt paralyzed with so much beauty around me: the majestic mountains, the forests, the crystal clear waters in lakes and rivers, the splendid rocks everywhere and the amazingly bright light. I needed to capture it all.
This exhibition is an homage to nature and what I see everyday in this unspoiled region.
I printed, painted and collaged the peace I find in close contact with nature, the silence when I walk the trail alone, the long and dark winter, the hidden life in pebbles and rocks, the solitude I have felt when there is nothing but trees and mountains around me that I have come to enjoy. A lot.
