July Creations

With some unexpected 'free' time on my hands this month, I created two summer-in-Ontario inspired pieces that I am very excited about. Find them, and additional artworks at my new Etsy shop (highlighted below): http://www.etsy.com/shop/Rowanwood?ref=si_shop.

Commissions and Pieces Currently Available for Purchase

I recently uploaded a series of photos to my flikr page in a set entitled "Felt by Design." Within this set, you will find photos of now available for purchase; prices are listed in the description area. I currently do not have a "Four Seasons" piece in stock, but can make it to order (images of available windows are also posted in this photostream). Please note however, that as fibre is unpredictable, each piece is unique unto itself and so no "Four Seasons" piece can be perfectly reproduced.

Upcoming Exhibit @ The New Art Festival!



Ottawa’s longstanding outdoor art tradition, The New Art Festival, is repeating once again this spring on June 4th and 5th. This year, I am excited to be a participating artist and will show my fibre art on the “Clemow Pathway,” space 37.



The New Art Festival (formerly Art in the Park) remains Ottawa’s largest outdoor art exhibit with over 250 artists and entertainers from a full spectrum of disciplines. As always, the festival takes place in the Glebe’s Central Park – east of Bank Street up until O’Connor, between Patterson and Celmow – and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, rain or shine. [Due to construction, the Festival can be accessed by car on O’Connor or Patterson, or by foot on Bank and Clemow.]

According to the organizers, The New Art Festival is a non-commercial event and therefore does not include any mass-produced goods, nor does it have any representation from large chains or corporations. It also continues to be a low carbon footprint event. When attending the festival, you can expect to find:

- free admission
- a family-friendly and community-oriented environment
- a beautiful park setting
- food from local vendors
- a selection of art that is juried by artists and arts professionals
- artists on site to answer your questions and explain their craft

For full details about the exhibition, including driving and public transit directions visit http://www.artinfoboy.org/. In the coming days, you will find samples of my work in addition to a site map on this blog.
