I went to the Glenbow museum today to see the Karsh exhibit, but was pleasantly surprised to stumble across one of my favourite artists - Canadian artist Tony Scherman's paintings were also on display at the museum. I know his work well, as I studied his technique as the basis for one of my final pieces {sharbat gula} in art school. He works in encaustic and I love his loose brush strokes. Here are a few shots I snapped of his work today ...

I was introduced to Mail Art in College by my drawing instructor Don Mabie a.k.a. Chuck Stake. He collaborated with my drawing class for the Frontier Mail Art Project, which is now collection of the Glenbow Museum. Each of us were asked to make an 8 1/2"x11" postcard showing what frontier meant to us. Here is the installation from 1998.


My favourite mail art project is Postsecret. People are encouraged to mail in their deepest secrets anonymously on postcards. Periodically, Postsecret takes these submissions and turns them into a book.
