This is a rare thing, a Kootenay Artist with some formal training and credentials.
Not that that is required or necessarily a good thing, but it's in contrast to many of the others I've featured.

I admire the spontaneity of it...and in an odd way it kind of works. And you might think I'm being facetious, but I do find much to admire in people who proceed without the self-doubts or inner monologue that plague others, that sees them execute an idea without any great planning or reflection.
That said, I'm definitely not that guy. Or, better put, I'm that guy in a vehicle with no clutch, brakes or transmission, but I'm not that guy with a paintbrush.

And I saw this eating lunch at Mama Sita's in the Valley - curious little acrylic/watercolor (??) paintings of mushrooms.
For a bit I thought they were illustrations from a coloring book. Because the Valley. Nope. Anyways, they were interesting.
I was showing pictures of them to Chris and he was laughing, he wanted to buy the one of the mushrooms/planets/dinosaur climbing moonbeam. Because.
And I understand.
Anyways - you can find her work here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057544416080&sk=photos
I think I'm going to make it a regular thing to start featuring some of the more obscure artists of the area, in a non-judgmental way, because there are hundreds, and some of their work is every bit as interesting or inspiring as that art that I admire. Just in a very different way...
