For love, art and music

Please check out this stop motion music video that my boyfriend Alex Leggett made. It is incredibly creative and I wanted to share it with everyone! I know that Alex will go far with his music career, and I don't know anyone else who deserves it more.
I am also very happy to be in this video!

I hope you all enjoy!

"Eat Your Art Out"

I haven't updated my blog in a while, but within the next few months I plan on posting more frequently. I have been working on my thesis this year at OCADU and doing an internship at Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, on Queen St West since September.

In December Propeller had an edible art event, called "Eat You Art Out." Artists were asked to submit a piece of art, constructed of edible material, which would then be eaten at the event.

I submitted a piece for it, made of fondant.

More pictures from the show:

Art Show/ Rock Show opening night photos

Here are some photos from the show at the Grad Club Art Show/ Rock Show opening on September 25,2010. Alex Leggett and the Flood, Superhero Smith and the Smidgens all put on amazing performances. And as I said before, having a show with my boyfriend Alex was a great experience. I hope to have another show with him in the future. The night was a huge success. There was a great turnout and outstanding encouragement and support from the guests. Thank you to everyone who made it out! My work will be on display at the Grad Club until December.

One of my New Favourite Artists

One of my friends showed me the artist Kate MacDowell.

I have never felt so moved before. Her work is extremely inspiring!

It relates to the kind of work that I have been doing, and she uses the same kind of imagery that I use in my work.

I can't wait to work in the studio tomorrow!
