*THE FRAME PROJECT*

 The Frame Project is a collaborative community art project to showcase how residents have been inspired during the Covid-19 pandemic. 250 5x7 canvases will be handed out upon which local artists will create a word or phrase in any medium. Once completed, the community art piece will be displayed at Pason Centennial Arena and the Okotoks Rec Center. 

 

It took some mulling to pick a word, I didn’t over think it at all. Then it hit me like a tsunami! “Flow” was perfect for ALL the reasons. (Tho I did contemplate swearwords - both existing and creative new variations). “Flow” felt more positive and socially acceptable ;) Water is such a timeless and powerful metaphor for all aspects of life. Fierce yet gentle… Flow stopped during lockdown and I think we can all agree it sucked (euphemism). When flow ceases, stagnation sets in. We’ve spent the past several months yielding, bending, adapting… learning to go with the flow. How does water stay clean and pure? FLOW. Even while planning this image the lesson was inherent. I had a grandiose vision but felt as though I was swimming against the proverbial current in my attempt to achieve it. When I chilled the f out and went with the FLOW it all came together. The water effect was quite out of my comfort zone but I am happy with how it turned out =)

 

You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop 💜

 

I’ll be sure to post more info when the project is complete!

This one was created en plein air at the Okotoks Clothesline Art Sale. Makes me want to paint outside in the sunshine all the time =) It was probably for the best as I made a HUGE mess splattering paint everywhere =)

This one was done purely for fun. Cows are so dang cute and I love playing with distorted perspectives. In selecting a title I tried “milking” it for puns… my last cow painting was called “Mootiful” so that was already taken. The only other things I could think of seemed “udderly” ridiculous so I went with something simple and blunt.
