I am really excited and pleased to present our newest addition to The Art Gallery of Calgary Blog, Artists All Around. Last week I put out a call to artists and individuals in the community who have a flare for photography, painting, drawing or any artistic medium and asked them to submit their work so that it could be featured on our blog. I have been overcome with the amazing talent arriving in my inbox and am delighted to share your artwork with all our readers and viewers around the world. Enjoy the following posts and please make comments, encourage and support one another. Let’s make this an online hub for local and international talent to come together.
Thanks to everyone who has participated!
Please note that all the photos on this blog have been submitted by the artists and therefore I have consent to use them for this project. The AGC does not own the rights to these images or works and any further use of these images or works requires written consent from the artists directly.
Todo Quedo en el Olvido is about unforgettable memories. How even though we live in the present many of us still hold on to our past and to those special moments in our lives we can never bring back. The Alcohol is just as added factor; many of us deal with our sorrows in different ways—alcohol was added for an even more dramatic effect. Todo Quedo en el Olvido means “Everything remains in the Past”.

I have been experimenting with primarily figurative, portrait genre painted woodcut blocks for twenty years since being introduced to the medium by the printmakers at ACAD. Recently; I have been working with salvaged century-old rough Douglas Fir beams from the restoration of the Alberta Block. This wood is interesting not only in its history, but also in that is it ornery. It has holes, knots, and gouges and is unlike the traditional flawless and smooth woodcut material that I work with such as cherry walnut. I don’t make prints from the woodcuts, but prefer the blocks themselves.
