Kathy Daley's most recent series #umbrellamovement captures her new home of North Vancouver with umbrellas as the central characters in the urban scenes. Choosing to highlight the wild, wet reflections of rain, and umbrella-capped people in urban neighborhoods, these oil paintings offer a vibrant depth, warmth, and luminosity to the outdoor drizzle.
"Underneath umbrellas, we are all the same, no matter our race or sex, we are all facing the elements, trying to shuck and jive through life." - Kathy Daley
Guy Hollington uses traditional Italian glass-blowing techniques and tools, creating all of his pieces without the use of molds. He incorporates cane, pulled glass with a central core of colour, twisted cane, and murine, a layered coloured glass that is pulled and cut in many of his works. The hand blown glass vases and bowls on display are colourful, geometrical, fluid and practical.
"I want my finished pieces to become part of everyday living...something that the buyer can find soothing, reflective and that will provide utility." - Guy Hollington
