TELUS Community Board, BC Arts Council, Vancouver Jazz Festival. Huge thank you to Emily Smith and VIVO Media Arts Centre!

I was pleased to find out I am the feature artist on ArtistRunWebsite for Monday, May 11, 2015!

I have used Artist Run Website as my domain for several years and can say I am very happy with what they offer for a busy artist with very little time. It's easy to set up, maintain and makes it a snap to upload all kinds of media. Thank you to Dallas Jeffs for the article and Eric Deis of Artist Run Website for all your hard work!

Artist Talk: The Theremin in Contemporary Art Practice, Maker Education Salon: Spring Edition,

Mozilla Hive Lab Vancouver, March 3.

2015 started out nice and easy with several artist talks in Vancouver. I had the pleasure to visit my old alma mater, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, to speak to the senior Integrated Media Arts class in January. It was a good experience for me to share my career so far, since my graduation, and to encourage students in opportunities available to them upon their graduation. I emphasized the importance of time management, networking, stepping stones to artist run centres and the role of integrated media in community engagement.

In March, I was asked to give a talk, on behalf of the Vancouver Experimental Theremin Orchestra (VETO), to Mozilla Hive Lab's Maker Education Salon. I delivered the talk 'The Theremin in Contemporary Art Practice', to a packed house of educators and maker enthusiasts, highlighting artists who use the 1920-invented instrument as a componant in their projects.

Check the Upcoming Page for my current and upcoming talks, demos, workshop and exhibitions.

Nine Vancouver artists will be exhibiting a one evening media art and live electronic performance, curated and produced by students from VIVO Media Arts Centre's Career Development Mentorship with media artist, Wynne Palmer. This event is hosted and supported by VIVO Media Arts Centre in conjunction with a BC Arts Council Youth Engagement Grant.

SKIN addresses abstract concepts, derived from the material form of the physical body as a point of departure. The exhibition explores concepts including body architecture, gender, body shame, the remediated body, body as machine, collective health and spatial interactions. The famous Protagorean statement, "man is the measure of all things . . .” (aside from relativism) is an inspiration for using the human structure as a referencing unit of infinite things.

I have the pleasure of leading a BC Arts Council funded mentorship through VIVO Media Arts Centre through the month of November, with a one night show at the conclusion, the first week of December.

With the support of BC Arts Council and VIVO, I will be doing a lecture/discussion style presentation, reviewing portfolios and cvs and assisting artists in conceiving and carrying out producer duties for creating their own exhibition. In addition, I have asked local emerging artists, Matt Troy and Vincent Parker to stop by and present as guest speakers, along with senior artist Crista Dahl, who will be giving a tour of the Crista Dahl Media Library & Archive at VIVO Media Arts Centre.

This will be a rather cathartic experience for me, as it will be the culmination of my knowledge from education and work experience as a professional graphic designer/photographer, interdisciplinary artist, curator and producer over the past 25 years. I'm quite excited to share my experiences, as it is my hope to introduce and educate emerging artists to the world of professional art and business, and to ensure a sense of confidence for a smooth transition.

While I'm still working on my presentation, I'm finding that I am adding more and more, realizing the volume of information that I need to cover as basics!

Since this mentorship is a BC Arts Council Youth Engagement Grant through VIVO, we will be accepting submissions to this FREE mentorship for emerging artists 18-24yrs. old ONLY.

If you are or know of an emerging artist who would like to submit to this mentorship opportunity, please pass along the following link for details and submission form:

Dates: Nov. 8 - 29, 2014 (Saturdays: 10AM - 6PM)

Final Exhibition: 'SKIN', Dec. 5, 2014. 8PM - 1AM
