Jacqueline Steudler Art

Opening Reception  Sunday, January 8 from 2 - 4 p.m. Teichert Gallery, 1723 Hollis Street, Halifax Exhibition on view January 3 - 31, 2017 I would like to invite you to a juried group show that is dear to my heart.  For 10 years, I have been a member of  ArtSpa  a group of artists that meets every Tuesday in Waverley to share our passion for painting and everything art. What I like about the group is the openness, the support, and the respect that is shown to everyone on our individual painting path, not to mention the friendships that have formed over the years. You might wonder why we are called ArtSpa? When we were looking for a name early on one of our members Katherine MacMillan said that these painting days were better than a day at the Spa and another member Becky Thompson immediately said: "We are an ArtSpa".  Thank you to Katherine and Becky! It would be wonderful if you would make your way t...

Happy New Year to you all! May the new year treat you like a supportive friend adding joy, understanding, respect, and lots of laughter to your life.

layering the paint is like alchemy I took a great workshop at the NS Centre for Craft and Design with Rhonda Miller, bookmaker and marbling queen.  Although I had dabbled in marbling as a kid and young adult, I had no idea how much fun and excitement it would instil in me again after 30 years. (smile)  I did it - no air bubbles The first day creations where anything but perfect but nevertheless it just got better from there. The next day, all of us in the group, made beautiful papers (perfection wasn't my goal (smile)). I can't wait to get my hands on the materials to create more marbling papers.  How will I use them? I am not sure yet but collaging has been a part of my art practice for a long time and these new creations might just become a part of it.  The possibilities are endless.
