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.

When a caterpillar has finished its time of eating and growing, it finally earns the right to sleep for a while. So he builds his cocoon, safe and dark, isolated from the busy world, and settles down to sleep.
But that sleep is not just sleep. He is re-growing and re-building. Soon he will emerge, a new creature, with a new life.
