Wilderness: Paterson Gallery in the Thunder Bay Art Gallery
The Thunder Bay Art Gallery, Keewatin Drive, Thunder Bay, Ontario
My series of wilderness prints opened for exhibition to the public last Friday at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery.
34 studies are on display until Sunday March 4, 2012.
For the opening I gave a 40 minute in length artist talk complete with some digital slide accompaniment and a table display of tools, surfaces and books relevant to printmaking techniques from my personal collection.
This is my first solo show in my own community on this scale.
The gallery is also featuring two other exhibitions of original print based works and a display of prints created by first nations visual artists that have been selected from the gallery's permanent collection.
