Pop in to this Victoria Day weekend
pop-up art show
I'm pleased and proud to have been invited to showcase one of my paintings at a gallery on Halifax waterfront.
It's a pop-up show at the Prow Gallery over the weekend of May 15 - 18, featuring the work of artists from the Peggy's Cove area.
I'm showcasing this piece, Chromatic Coastal Mirage. It's an evocative landscape that transports the viewer to a whimsical coastal town. You can find more information on my Gallery page on this site.​

If you are looking for something to do over the Victoria Day weekend, why not pop in to this pop-up art show?

I'm happy my art could help children in need
One of my original paintings was among the items auctioned for a really good cause in this year's CTV Christmas Daddies annual telethon.​

Bidding on my watercolour, Winter on the Farm (pictured), started at $100 and ten bids later it closed at $250. Altogether the telethon raised more than $559,000.
I was really happy to be able to donate a piece for the auction. It's a great cause. Each year, since 1964, the telethon has provided food and gifts to more than 18,000 children across the Maritimes.

New hotel promotes local artists
​
In future, if you stay at a new hotel on the outskirts of Halifax, you may find yourself looking at some of my paintings.
I'm delighted and honoured to be one of four local artists invited to decorate the rooms at the Governors Lake Suites with original art. The artwork is available to purchase if staying at the hotel or from my website by contacting me at debbiebodnarchuk@gmail.com.
Governors Lake Suites is a new boutique hotel overlooking Governors Lake in Timberlea, just minutes from downtown Halifax.

Seventy artists at 44 locations
​My first time exhibiting at the Peggy’s Cove Studio Art Tour was exhilarating and eye opening. We had over 330 visitors in a three day period at studios six and 13. I met people from as far away as New Zealand as well as friends I hadn’t seen in 30 years.
What a wonderful way to show off beautiful St. Margaret’s Bay and the bounty of amazing artists who live in and around the area.
I enjoyed spending those days with the talented Louise Mussett, Beth Newman, Margo Mosher Swain, Heather Elms-Wood, Mike Tindal and Maureen McArthur (top picture).
I would also like to thank my talented Glen Margaret painters at the William Black site for watching over my paintings in my absence.
Thanks to Marie Fagan for purchasing the painting on the easel, which I named Time Out. I am glad it found a good home.
