FIRST FRIDAY...IT'S A THING!
Are you an art enthusiast looking for a fun and exciting way to spend a Friday? Look no further than the First Friday Art Studio Stroll!
​
The idea originated from Christine’s artist residency experience in Texas where "First Friday" engaged the community and provided a fun, joyful and uplifting event. The idea is simple yet impactful: on the first Friday of each month, artists open their studios to the public, inviting them to explore their creative spaces, engage with their work, and experience the artistic process firsthand.
​
First Friday Studio Stroll is happening Friday, May 3 from 4 – 8 pm at Christine’s Studio
Kashuba Originals 7371 McKoryk Road, Vernon BC. So, mark your calendar and join in the fun!

Amarillo Artworks
From April to June 2023 I participated in an Artist Residency in Amarillo TX, which is a professional development opportunity for artists. Part of the experience is to learn about the area and the things that make it unique. I've learned that cactus have tiny little prickles not just the big ones that are easy to see, that plains buffalo have made a comeback thanks to the Goodnight Ranch, and that most of the plants here are desert plants so very hardy and tough. Surprisingly there has been rain here and so I'm looking forward to seeing what springs forth as they are watered. While here I'm in Studio K at the Amarillo Arts Institute, an amazing facility in a repurposed shopping mall, Arts in the Sunset. There are 16 artist studios and 23 artists creating work, and then there is the school part of the facility that has weaving, painting, glass and clay studios where people come to learn new skills or develop the skills they have. I am so happy to share with you some of the Cyanotype artworks I have created in Texas.
