Voices For The Wild

My artwork will be up at the Kirkland Library until June 24. I’m taking it down June 25. But I will be at the library on Wednesday Wednesday evening, June 19 for a meet the artist/personal tour if you’d like to come in visit it when I’m there from 7 to 8:30 PM
(if that time doesn’t work for you please do let me know and I’ll try to meet you and it does work for you!).
If you decide you’d like to go see the show on your own before it closes. I recommend calling the library because if there’s a class in that room, you can’t go in to see the show so you might want to check the schedule before driving out there.
I hope if you want to see it I get ti see you!

Here’s some progress on my embroidered Chimney Swift that will be appliquéd onto my painting of Lisa Mintz. I’ve given you some shots to see the progression. These fascinating birds live almost their whole lives in the air. They cannot properly perch but hang onto vertical surfaces. The can consume about 1000 insects in a day. They roost in chimneys (hence the name) which happened once forests were being cut down, they adapted. But now that chimneys are being phased out, they are at peril. Some places build artificial chimney stacks just for them Lisa Mintz says that near the Falaise St Jacques (which she helped to preserve) they live in a chimney on Madisan and St Jacques. Pretty cool birds and her favourites, so I will embroider a few to populate the air above her in her painting.

Voici l'avancement de mon martinet de cheminée brodé qui sera appliqué sur mon tableau de Lisa Mintz. Je vous ai donné quelques photos pour voir la progression. Ces oiseaux fascinants vivent presque toute leur vie dans les airs. Ils ne peuvent pas se percher correctement mais s'accrochent aux surfaces verticales. Ils peuvent consommer environ 1000 insectes par jour. Ils se perchent dans des cheminées (d'où leur nom), ce qui s'est produit lorsque les forêts ont été coupées, ils se sont adaptés. Mais maintenant que les cheminées sont progressivement supprimées, elles sont en danger. Lisa Mintz raconte que près de la Falaise St Jacques (qu'elle a contribué à préserver), ils vivent dans une cheminée sur Madisan et St Jacques. Je vais donc en broder quelques-uns pour peupler l'air au-dessus d'elle dans son tableau.

Here’s a little bit of progress on the embroidery work being done for my painting about Lisa is the founder of Sauvons La Falaise; Urbannature and was instrumental in saving the Technoparc for the birds.
