A contemporary art gallery exhibition by alumni of BFA and BArtEd programs at Queen’s University entitled “Home Again” was on view at Union Gallery. The show in early September 2024 included “Full Circle IV study blue”, part of my Blueprint series.
The Queen’s University Alumni Review quoted me in August as saying: “Artists are visionaries who shape our world. Through our imagination and intuition, we create thought-provoking works never seen before. Artists are cultural workers, playing a vital role in reflecting and influencing our society. Handmade art with its unique human touch will become even more valuable in our digital age.”
I believes it is crucial to provide more opportunities for female artists. I also believe that exhibitions like Home Again are an opportunity for emerging artists to showcase their works.
“This is the first time, to my knowledge, that the Fine Art department at Queen’s has celebrated our program and celebrated what we’ve done since graduating,” noted Angela Walsh Noble. “That’s kind of cool. And I know my work has changed since I was there. It is exciting to see how others’ work also evolved and changed.”
The exhibit included pieces from more than 75 alumni and was supported by the Queen’s University Alumni Association’s (QUAA) special project grant. The grant was used to offset shipping costs, so alumni artists from around the world could participate in the show.
