International Mail Art Exhibition and Exchange

Last November some of my work went up to Canada for the International Mai Art exhibit in Vancouver at the Richmond Art Gallery.  The non-commercial show is one where artists send work and in exchange get work from other participating artists.  This week three cool pieces (see above) arrived in my mailbox.

You can see much of the work from the show on the gallery’s tumblr page.  More of Penelope Harris’s work can be seen on her blog.  I love the idea of using monopoly money (I think I might have to borrow that idea).  Edwin Roberts piece is two-sided but I can’t find any additional work on line.  Ruby Rymer is another fan of maps and old high school yearbooks.  Another example of her mixed media work can be seen here. 

I like how this is working out and need to keep exchange small pieces of art.

5th Annual Artist Trading Card Exhibition – Part II

Earlier this year I participated in an Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) up at the Richmond Gallery up in British Columbia (see previous blog entry).

One of the rewards is that my cards were traded and sent on to other artists. I received some cards in return from the gallery and am quite pleased with that arrived in my mailbox. A few of the new pieces are seen above. The include a piece from Ian Addison Hall’s series progress as seen through a hole, a simple and beautiful little water color from Preetika Rajgariah, and a collage from Monique Motut-Firth.
