About my on-line Gallery:
I've been weaving these tapestry illustrations for a couple of years. I like to tell stories, so the illustrations come from my imagination. The craft and technique are harder for a new artist. I needed a lot of learn-by-doing.
And now I want you to see my pieces. A public gallery's wall would be a great place to show them off. Meanwhile, this on-line gallery is a great way to view my craft, where-ever you are.
How? In my previous career as a computer programmer, I mastered the coding skills. The parts that you see use HTML and CSS computer languages. The parts you don't see use PHP and database files.
So! Here it is! I am proud and thankful for the art education I achieved at AuArts.ca, both theory and craft, as well as the help I received from friends around Calgary, from on-line tutorials, and the Library.

Is it a sailboat gone loopy? Is it a sculpture looking for a place to play?
After weaving 3 images of sailboats, I wanted to find the "essential" form that they must share. If I took away the sun, and the wind, what would a sail want to look like? The curving strain, and the questing energy, those things must certainly remain. You might say that these guys have lost their direction, and I would agree. But the seagulls don't seem worried about it.
