  • Art of A Woman Breast Cancer Gallery Show

    The Art of a Woman, a special art unveiling dedicated to breast cancer, took place last week at the Bau Xi gallery on Granville. Sponsored by Diane’s Lingerie as part of their new rebranding campaign, the evening included a first time glimpse of very unique artwork created by a list of Vancouver’s most prominent women. Each participant was covered in body paint and a canvas imprint was taken which then was turned into an amazing work of art. Anonymity was guaranteed as only the subject was told which print was hers leaving it up to each one of the ladies to reveal their own secret. As for secrets, I’m proud to have been chosen as a participant and was more than pleased to be part of this graceful and tasteful exhibit. The art pieces were put up for auction and proceeds raised were donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

  • Gordon Smith Art Gallery Gala

    The Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art is one of North Vancouver’s newest and most prestigious places. Built last year, the gallery is purported to be the only public gallery “dedicated to young audiences” which exhibits works of art created through the Artist for Kids (AFK) collection. Last week, patrons of the arts gathered at the gallery to celebrate and raise funds at a gala that included a gourmet meal by Hawksworth restaurant, live auction items and entertainment by Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne.
