56. My Art My Heart
Paintings; alcohol ink; bookmarks; ornaments
I love to express myself through my art; it is at the heart of who I am—discovering the creative me.
My favourite medium to work with is alcohol inks. I find joy in working with the vibrant colours alcohol ink produces, with its wonderfully unpredictable and exciting layers of designs. As the ink blends and flows, you never quite know what story will unfold.

57. Dorothy Hall
Hand-dyed; various textiles
Hello. I look forward to meeting you at my studio space and to showing you my latest items.
My hand-dyed silk, cotton and linen scarves; silk bandanas; and cotton or linen table runners using natural dyes will be on display.
I sew with materials that I have hand-dyed—commercial fabrics usually bought locally—and also upcycle various types of cloth, continuing to fill my hours making new and creative products. I’ll also possibly do a little bit of weaving again this year.
There will be a variety of my popular floral-hammered gift bags, and I will be demonstrating how to make them—so much fun to do! Would you like to try it?
I am always looking for a new twist on existing processes and ideas. So you never know what I might be working on when you get here.

58. KATE Anderson
Paintings; oil; pastel; acrylic
A beautiful and natural garden invites you into KATE’s outdoor experience of ponds, waterfalls and large trees. Her paintings come somewhat from imagination but also from scenes from around the Kootenays. A new series of waterfall paintings highlights Nemo Falls, Fletcher Falls and other scenic falls in the area. KATE has also become an exhibiting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists West Kootenay Chapter, and has had numerous local shows at Cowan’s, Oso Negro and ArtWalk. She will also have had a recent work in the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery. All works are framed with acid-free materials. These original paintings are well priced to add to your one-of-a-kind collection. She will also have colourful handmade cards available.
Panels will be set up outside to display her artwork and you are invited to wander around. Come rain or shine!

Paintings; acrylic
I am delighted to return to the Procter Hall this year, exhibiting alongside a diverse collective of local artists. My contribution features selections from several distinct series, ranging from the representational to the abstract. Linked by a vibrant pallet and a touch of the unexpected, these pieces are intended to be as enjoyable and quirky as the inspirations behind them.
