This week I've finally dove into putting my concepts onto my drawing surfaces. After months of sketching thumbnails, reading, writing, finding random quotes... I rolled out my Mylar and cut three large sheets (36" x 40"). Side note: I definitely purchased the entire store supply of this stuff last time I was in one of Toronto's Curry's art supply stores. Whoops! (...it is hard to come by in large format here.)<br />
<br />
It is crazy how thrilling and nervous this makes me. But as usual the first initial line drawing is the hardest to commit to, once it is done it feels much better! It is nice to be drawing larger scale again and I am reminded of the first time I jumped into a project like this. It was when I barely knew what I was doing with my life. Having moved to a new city for one reason or another and having it all turn upside down overnight. Yet, it would not have gotten me to try and apply for an artist residency that I felt I was overly <b>under</b>-qualified to get into. But I thought, why not? Somehow the jury saw potential in me and let me work in and occupy a downtown studio space where I could explore a dream to draw BIG. I never really tried to draw 'like that' before that opportunity. And don't get me wrong, the experience did have some serious ups and downs, I am incredibly grateful for it. If curious here is an old <a href="http://mayamusicart.blogspot.ca/2009/05/motivation-confidenceits-struggle-on.html" target="_blank"><b>blog post</b> </a>from that time in my life.<br />
<br />
What's changed? Well I'm more self-assured. I didn't really realize this until I started the drawing above. I'm making less tentative pencil marks, I'm really going for it this time :)<br />
(Let's hope my nerves don't get the better of me!)<br />

After some major furniture moving I've migrated to my computer and realized that I should also organize my photo albums! So, here is a picture I found of my work in progress for the Annual Figureworks Awards Show back in November/December 2012. <br />
<br />
For this work I went back to working on mylar. (Click to enlarge) The drawing is done in graphite and a small amount of acrylic paint.<br />

Figureworks is an amazing organization here in Ottawa. They have annual juried award shows, this was my second time participating and my greatest impression is how well they treat their artists.

Happy New Year everyone! I want to thank everyone for your support this past year. Particularly to those who gave me much needed extra pushes in confidence. And as equally important, thank-you to those who let me step back and re-focus. <br />
<br />
This year I taught at the same art school I did my training in, organized more art events, had a hand in environmental campaigns dear to my heart, and met new amazing and creative friends along the way!<br />
<br />
2013 is just starting, but I am in the works to making it the most creative year yet! I hope you can join me in all this fun!<br />

It's been a couple days since Ottawa's first all-night art event - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuit_Blanche" target="_blank">Nuit Blanche</a> - and I had a blast! There were over 6000 people that passed by our installation and well over 600 people partook in our photo-booth. Our pop-up gallery ended up being jam packed with drawings, notes, and signatures. The overall result was a-maz-ing! Thank-you everyone who paid us a visit. To those who danced with us, talked with us, took pictures with us, and made art with us! Also our lovely volunteers and organizers of this city-wide event - THANK-YOU! What a success!<br />
<br />
Here's some chronological shots of our installation from start to finish! (click picture to enlarge)<br />

<br />
Ottawa is having its first Nuit Blanche this year! I will be popping up a gallery in front of the Ottawa School of Art with Lemonjellow Productions.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Inspired by the creative artistry and imagination of pop-up books, we are presenting a “pop-up gallery.” Pre-constructed from recycled materials, this temporary gallery is mobile in the sense that we can “pop it up” anywhere in the city. Our aim is to provide a space where anyone can contribute to this gallery on the spot. The idea is to foster a communal spirit of sharing, interaction, and support from the ground up. In essence anyone who wants to be, will become an artist participating in Nuit Blanche!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
When: September 22, 6:22 pm - 4:22am</div>
<div>
Where are we located? 35 George Street, in front of the Ottawa School of Art in the Byward Market</div>
</div>
<div>

I will be teaching a children's camp at the Ottawa School of Art Orleans Campus this year:<br />
Mixed Media: mountains, fields & sea: landscape:<br />
<br />
s120c5eb | mountains, fields & sea: landscape | mixed media |<br />
9 – 12 years<br />
July 30 – August 3<br />
<br />
Learn to interpret the awesome landscape and develop an appreciation for the immensity and beauty of nature through different art projects! Let’s discover the basics of the<br />
landscape: forms, colours, light and atmosphere. This is a mixed media course so be prepared to sculpt, paint and draw! <br />

Artists who sign up are sent a sketchbook in the mail to.... well sketch in, haha. My sketchbook will be exhibited along side thousands of other creative entries at galleries and museums across North America. After this tour it becomes part of the permanent collection at The Brooklyn Art Library! I was late to enter but managed to finish filling out my book. However, I definitely could have worked on it more. The theme picked was: Opposite Day. Here is my cover illustration (Remember it's just a sketch!):<br />

<span class="text_exposed_show">
CABARET INCOGNITO is a themed Cabaret-format show that incorporates
audiovisuals, media, and interdisciplinary performance art that
experiments in pushing back the frontiers of aesthetic experiences. It was conceived to create opportunities for the
artistically-stricken to get exposure for their performance work while
creating a synthesized theatrical environment for the public to immerse
themselves in - and be stimulated by - edgy, Avant Garde performances.<br /> Email us: cabaretincognito@gmail.com<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cabaretincognito" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>cabaretincognito</a><br /> Hidden behind the mask, you are free. <br /> AUDIENCE CHALLENGE: Dress up as your favorite, or fetish alter ego...Are you your own secret agent?<br /> PORTRAIT BOOTH ON SITE OF YOU AND YOUR ASSUMED PERSONALITIES<br /> CO-CURATED BY: Annie Lefebvre and Crissi Kindl<br /> FILM SCREENINGS: 'Avant-Garde 101' <br />
