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.

Animals, especially our wild friends, are exciting to watch in action. And where I live, the coyote, the trout, and the eagle are some of the essential core animals we like to see.
I tried to capture their movement, or pace -- a sort of "freeze frame" as they move along. But it's more. The natural action, the directed energy, lend shape to the simple forms.
In the background, I wove the silhouette of a person's face. This is not meant to portray someone who owns or controls. Instead it's an observer -- one who sees and appreciates, and hopefully understands what is happening here.
