November - The Show is UP!

2 Owls Portraits in an exhibition

Hello Friends,

My exhibition Hidden Worlds is now installed and ready for the world to see - you need to come to Squamish though and head to the Library on 2nd Ave (just up the road from Fox and Oak, the town’s mecca for Coffee ‘n Donuts). The show’s on until January 20, 2025, so plenty of time for a visit!

For those too far away to make the trip, I made an Instagram reel which has been getting some attention - you can see it and most of my work here.

Hidden Worlds is a duo exhibition featuring 15 of my paintings on the walls and jewellery and sculpture by my good friend Susan Remnant in the display cases.

Our statement

In this exhibition, Hidden Worlds, two friends and artists with distinctly different art practises, explore and decipher the intricate beauty of Nature that lies just below the surface of everyday perception. Sharing forest walks and a deep appreciation for the natural world, they encourage each other's creative journeys. 

Zoë Evamy’s expressive acrylic paintings capture the elusive world of wild birds in their habitat, while Susan Remnant reveals unexpected beauty and organic transformation through jewellery and sculpture. 

Together, they invite us to examine the delicate balance between fragility and resilience, permanence and metamorphosis and to celebrate our connection to the environment around us.

 

The Night before…..

I gave an artists demonstration to artist members of the North Shore Artists Guild in West Vancouver. Earlier this year, I was invited to demo and talk about my process of painting wild birds. It was a fun night with a great turn out. There were some unexpected results which I wrote about on my blog, Studio Notes.

The Starling that became a Quail

As a group, we visualized a grouse or a Quail, probably quite differently, but the bird had revealed itself!

What’s next?

The relief and euphoria that comes from hanging an exhibition always seems to be short lived. After another year of painting + exhibiting, how can the quandary around being seen be so persistent? Questions about selling work v developing new themes, courting galleries v finding my own audience, social media with its impossible algorithm v the mass migration of other artists to other platforms like Bluesky or Substack……my head is spinning!

Well it can all wait.

I’ve loaded up with library books, I’m looking forward to spending time with friends, making new playlists, going for extended walks in the woods and mountains. Maybe we’ll cross paths?

Ring in the holidays!

My artist cousin Marion Evamy has invited me to spend Xmas on Vancouver Island with her family which includes 3 dogs. It’s always a treat spending time with them in their home/art gallery beside the sea. I’m planning to load up the car with goodies and celebrate the end of another fantastic year of art making.

Before I sign off, I’ve found a way to archive my monthly letters from this year - the link is at the bottom of my website page. If you know someone who would enjoy them, please share the link with them. I have plans to expand on my writing over the next year!
