What an amazing event. One of the events that occur during the opening night of ArtVancouver, is an Art Walk introducing some of the artists exhibiting at the show. I was thrilled to be one of those selected and was happy to share my heart shaped painting called "Unity Through Heart".<br /><br />

<br /></div>
Just over a month ago I was writing up a grant proposal. I was inspired by
some research I did on the subject of mark making. I had noticed a lot of artists on
Instagram mentioning mark making and I was curious what was going on. Every time you put pen to paper or a brush to the canvas you are in fact making marks, so I was intrigued by the way it was being to referred to in this special way.<br />
<br />
My research led me to fascinating information about the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Automatistes" target="_blank">Les Automatistes</a>, a group from Quebec founded in the 1940's by<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul-%C3%89mile_Borduas" target="_blank">Paul-Émile Borduas</a></span></span>. I explored the concept of automatic drawing which is "<span class="ILfuVd">(distinguished from drawn expression of mediums)
{and}was developed by the surrealists, as a means of expressing the
subconscious. In <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=automatic+drawing" target="_blank">automatic drawing,</a> the hand is allowed to move "randomly" across the paper.</span>" This reminded me of <a href="http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20181012-hilma-af-klint-the-enigmatic-vision-of-a-mystic" target="_blank">Hilma af Klimp</a> and her work, which I had seen in a documentary.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The information that really excited me as a life long educator was something I found in an online lesson on mark making written by Edward Burke. In his lecture notes on <a href="http://www.drawingandpaintinglessons.com/Drawing-Lessons/Mark-Making-Direct.cfm" target="_blank">Direct Mark Making By Hand</a> he wrote “each of us already has a unique set of marks
and gestures that are innate, in muscle memory and should be embraced and
expanded upon.”</div>

I decided to get a new sketchbook and embrace and expand upon my personal mark making. I also want to explore using different tools for mark making so I picked up some charcoal sticks and oil pastelles as well as some acrylic inks.<br />
<br />
I've usually done traditional drawing in my previous sketch books. This one is a multi media paper so I can paint in it too. I plan to document some of my mark making here on my blog, so look out for some in future posts. <br />

I also bought myself a beautiful ink brush and just love using it to make spontaneous marks. The trick is to not think and pre-plan what you want to do. It is letting go of control and just going with the flow of the paint, tapping into that personal muscle memory.<br />
I shot I few videos of my first experiments with the brush and some watered down black acrylic paint.<br />

After doing these simple paintings which I love, I decided to try some other mark making with self created tools. I cut some notches into a piece of card and intuitively moved the paint with it. <br />

I have been working on a very large painting on an unstretched canvas on the wall. It has gone through several layers and I am happy with what is unfolding. I wanted to create a brush like base to the abstract mountain/rock formation. I suddenly had an inspiration to use some of the fallen cedar and pine boughs that came down in the wind storms we have had recently here on the island. I used these as brushes for making marks on the painting by dipping them into the paint and hitting them against the canvas on the wall. </div>

On January 26 and 27th 2019 I had my "Building A Dream" solo show. It was at the Community Centre on Mayne Island, BC.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had a lot of help setting up from my friend Jennifer. The show was hung during the afternoon on the Saturday. We also had to prepare all the refreshments for the reception so it was a busy day. <br />
<br />
This was my first exhibition showing my large abstract works and it was a great opportunity to see how they would be received. I also included some of my fluid art paintings and my resin paintings, so there was lots of variety in mediums and styles.<br />
<br />
Saturday night was the reception which was quiet but perfect. We got to have great conversations and discuss my art with those in attendance.<br />

Sunday was very busy and unfortunately I didn't get any photos of the visitors. I was so busy talking to everyone. It was beyond my expectations and the feedback was amazing. I am so grateful to the art lovers on Mayne Island for coming out to my show. Also a big thank you to those who purchased art and my art clocks. <br />

Reflecting back on this day I have to say the biggest gift was the amazing discussions I had with fellow artists and art lovers about my work and art in general. I was able to see my work through new eyes and discover how different people take different things away from the work. For the first time I had an opportunity to find words to describe what I do and why. When you work alone in your studio these things just happen. Having to actually describe the process and realize the intentions that go into the creation of a painting, the skills, techniques and emotions that come together to create something visual, was an enlightening experience for me. </div>

January 13th I loaded up my car and drove into Vancouver with my friend and fellow artist Diane Speirs. I am so grateful for her help in loading my art into Celebrities night club and her assistance as I hung my display. This was the first night of the two day <a href="http://www.rawartists.org/pamcarrart" target="_blank">RAW Artists</a> multi disciplinary arts event, the REFLECT Show. Excitement was in the air.<br />
<br />
I was all prepared with clamp lights and lots of electrical power bars and extensions. It was a buzzing hive of activity, with so many amazing artists setting up their displays and musician sound checks going on in the background.<br />
<br />
As Celebrities is a night club the lighting was not the best for art, but the energy of so many artists, and later, of all the art lovers pouring over your work, made up for the lack of light.<br />
<br />
Once the paintings were hung we had time to wander round and check out the other artists there.<br />

I have to say the best part of the evening was meeting so many people who were captivated and interested in my art. People curious about the process, people who might go home and start making their own art. This was so inspiring for me. Probably the fact I have been an educator all my life made this such a special part of the evening for me. The enthusiasm and excitement around the creative process was wonderful. Meeting and talking with other artists feeds the flame.<br />
<br />
This event was a great way to share my art and spread the word. I made great contacts for getting my work in films and also had inquiries for commissions. And I also had a fabulous time witnessing the dynamic and unique fashion shows and soaking up all the creative energy from fellow artists and art lovers.<br />
This event was so well organized and ran so smoothly. There were two professional photographers there to capture the event. So a big thank you to RAW Artists for this multi disciplinary arts event.<br />

It is great to look back at this show as it was my very first solo show.<br />
<br />
The gallery owner did a wonderful write up and it is great to be able to look back and relive this very special moment in my art career. <br />

These acrylic abstracts use lots of pinks, blues, yellows and turquoises. I use a vast array of abstract techniques and tools to create different layers and textures.<br />
<br />
I am also adding them to my online shop on Artfinder.<br />
<br />
Here is the latest one. I just finished it last week.<br />
<br />
I hope you love the colours and joyful vibe as much as I do.<br />

</div>
Last year I discovered fluid panting. I loved the process and did a lot of experimenting with moving paint.<br />
<div>
This year synchronicity sent me to a whole new level. Thanks to a random post on Instagram I was led to the dirty pour. I have been busy exploring new techniques and possibilities and I am in love with this process. It perfectly suits my capricious personality. </div>
<div>

<div>
Here are a few of my new paintings.<br />

I painted this painting while subletting a house with a studio on Salt Spring Island. It is one of the Southern Gulf Islands here in British Columbia. It was a peaceful month of retreat and my time was my own. <br />
<br />
It was great to have the space to create larger works. This is one of the first ones I did there. I enjoyed exploring texture with tools for scaping and moving the paint. I also used printing and splashing techniques as the piece took on a life of its own. It turned out to have so much energy and to reflect and communicate the feel of the city.<br />

Between Christmas and New Years I always try to write out some goals or dreams and visualize them manifesting. This has been a powerful tool for me as my life has unfolded.<br />
This year I was a little low on energy due to losses in the family and how that affects us all during these times of family celebrations.<br />
As I was scrolling down the facebook feed for my Pam Carr Art page on facebook yesterday I happened upon a post from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/artbizcoach/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Art Biz Coach</a> about setting goals for the new year. This link is <a href="http://www.artbizblog.com/2015/12/set-your-goals.html" target="_blank">here</a> for the post on her artblog. I also signed up for her free video session on Ecstatic Encounters. <br />
Well it was just what I needed and it got the juices flowing.<br />
Just from sitting down with some paper and a pen I joined the <a href="http://cacgv.ca/" target="_blank">Community Arts Council of Great Victoria</a>, applied to exhibit in two galleries and researched other places seeking submissions from artists.<br />
I also created a check list to try and keep track of my social media sharing so I do it more effecively.<br />
Another job that had been on my to do list was to create a list of all my works so I can track where they have been shown, shared and sold. I find it tricky to remember all the names for my paintings so this is a good place to nail that down for quick reference.<br />
<br />
So one of the things I have committed to doing in 2016 is posting one blog post a week. Minimum.<br />
This morning I have been creating bitly links for my saatchart.com listings. By creating my check list I am released from having to do them all at once in case I miss something. Now I can do them a few at a time and know just which ones are finished and what is left to be done.<br />
<br />
Clearing up this kind of paperwork really frees your mind up and allows the creativity to flow more easily, and the direct result has been that I have been painting this morning. Something I haven't done since I arrived in Mission for Christmas festivities on Dec. 18th.<br />
<br />
The painting I am sharing on my blog today is one of my favourite new big works.<a href="http://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Where-are-you-now/241869/2725427/view" target="_blank">"Where Are You Now?"</a><br />

I just moved into a little cottage on Mayne Island for the winter. I am currently building a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pamscobhouse" target="_blank">cob house</a>
on the island and have been living in a trailer on site. My new space
is perfect for keeping warm over the winter and allows me lots of space
to paint and create.<br />

In my first few weeks there I have been organizing myself and have done a few paintings. <br />
This one is called 'No Doubts'. It is an acrylic on canvas and is 12"x12". I am having fun with fluid lines and blending colours. <br />

Most of my adult life has been involved with family, working with children as a teacher and performer and in the music biz, as a performer and promoter with my own indie record label.<br />
<br />
For several years painting has taken over as my main creative practice. And when I say "taken over" that can be taken quite literally.<br />
<br />
It is such a pleasurable and deep process. There is nothing quite like working with paint and seeing where the colours and textures can take you.<br />
<br />
I have enjoyed art throughout my life, and remember devoting many hours to drawing as a child. Getting books out of the library on anatomy and portraits drawing. :-)<br />
<br />
So here I am with a new blog and I look forward to sharing my art, my works in progress and completed and all the exciting new techniques and directions that take me into new and unchartered territory. Pam Carrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05497264871282957259noreply@blogger.com0
