See you all soon, cheers, lisa

Every Friday at Stoneworx Gallery, in ArtCentral, we have something a little more interesting. A meet the artist night around cocktails, cheese, and sometimes cookies.

“Fridays” are a go from now and into December. Its free and its funner than a regular opening. You get to ask every question you have always wanted to ask an artist. Like, “how do you get your hair like that?” , for example. Or, “what happens if i spill wine on a painting. Will that reck it?” . The response might be different every Friday, one week “you break it you buy it!” the next, “depends if its white or red….” But i guarantee it will be an enjoyable cocktail hour.

We start at 5:00 and go till 7:00. Maybe we’ll see you one of these Fridays…….

Here’s a pic of my newest piece. it will be on display until the end of the month. Cheers, lisa

Lava Series, 36" x 72"

This year im very excited to participate in Calgary’s Annual Art Walk. This event has been running over 2o years and showcases the best Galleries and Studios this city has to offer. Why am i more excited this year than last year, or the year before? Because I have a new Studio of course!! The new space is fantastic, huge, and messy! Its allowing my creative juices to flow like they have never flown before.

The Art Walk is Saturday Sept 17th and Sunday the 18th from 11:00 – 5:00.

I’ve posted a map below for you and a few pictures. Come help me celebrate my new space and see some crazy new stuff! Cheers, lisa

Im always working on more Lava.

Im working on more Aurora Borealis!

The artistic process is a very individual experience for all artists. I even have different processes for different styles of paintings and then again different processes for different types of wearable art. How often have you heard an artist say “it took on a life of its own” when they are talking about their work? You probably thought “seriously!”. Well im here to set the record straight, is this a b&llsh!t line or is it the truth? As much as i wanna rant and rave on how much of a load of crap this is……..it does have merit.

Last month i was preparing for “the Dong show” at Stoneworx Gallery  (the new space in Art Central that showcases my work ) and i managed to capture a little bit of the process of this painting.

The figure is always a fun process. I started off wanting to paint a male angel ( we don’t need to go into the psychology of why my male figures always start out as angels ) and as you can see, he turned out to be, well……different.

There has been quite the discussion about the hidden meanings behind this painting. A lot having to do with religious undertones. But i will let you decide. I am not religious, that im aware of…. Send me a post or comment, especially if you have a psychology degree!

I hope you enjoy these snap shots of the artistic process in my crazy brain.

Freddy Flowers will be on display all September at Stoneworx Gallery in ArtCentral. We are also open during Art Walk, Sept. 17th and 18th from 11:00 – 5:00

Cheers, lisa
