Today, Zoe's work hangs in various private collections as well as in an upcoming gallery show entitled "Small Treasures" at the Coast Collective. I encourage you to come by the gallery this Saturday from 2-4pm and meet Zoe. Zoe has two pieces in this wonderful show of small works.
"Windswept"
needle felting
"Liquorice Cat"
acrylic on canvas
Here's what Zoe has to say about herself:
Zoë
Larsen is a self-taught artist who has a passion for creating art
full of colour. She is inspired by many things such as music,
literature, dreams, nature, people and animals. Zoë loves to learn
new techniques and get her hands dirty in the process!
Zoë
has explored a variety of mediums with local artists…
Encaustics and mixed
media painting with Angela Menzies,
Pottery with Vincent
Fe,
Soapstone carving with
Kate Woods and
Glass bead making with
Nicole Valentine-Rimmer.
Zoë
has enjoyed having her art in the Stinking Fish Studio Tour as
a
junior artist in 2010.
Zoë
lives on a hillside farm in Sooke BC with her family and many
pets.
If you need to take away an art prompt this week, it would be this:
support a student in any way you can. Buy their art, offer them an
art lesson, give them wall space in your studio or visit them at
gallery openings. You won't regret it! You just might meet your
new favorite artist. Artists, especially the young, are brave
people who put their hearts and souls out there for you to enjoy.
If you live on Vancouver Island, come out to see this show.
And good luck to my talented dear friend Zoe this weekend!
