local reflections ... art and beyond
Diana Ross & The Supremes: Reflections
Reflections of my neighbourhood. This is the gallery Paneifico. It's located kitty-corner from my building.
It is another testament to the heritage of Strathcona. With it's history starting in early 1920's, it was one of the two local competing bakeries. This was home of the Italian bakery and the Ukrainian bakery was directly across the street.
When it was purchased by it's currents, long since it's days a bakery, the home and bakery space were reconfigured into 5 studio live/work spaces for the fast growing demand from artists desiring to live on the eastside.
The beginnings of the Eastside Culture Crawl happened here in 1994.
Reflecting on the life I lived before moving to this very unique and special community gives me a feeling of such gratefulness.
This is place where arts and culture are supported, defending and continue to be fought by those who believe that cultivating art for the future is all our responsibility. Youth art programs thrive in communities like ours because of this belief.

Thanks indeed everyone for your personal comments and also your support from selected groups.
Awards are encouraging and especially from those that add my work to their 'faves'.
